Youko Takai had already worked with Mana in the past, she was one of the two soprano singers of MALICE MIZER (the other one was Maki Okada). She already interpreted various songs written by Mana (Kyomu no Naka de no Yuugi, Hakai no hate, Mayonaka ni Kawashita Yakusoku, all from the album Bara no Seidou; even the entire song Chikasuimyaku no Meiro, written by Közi, featured her wonderful voice.)

·Shadow X·

death voice

The mysterious Shadow X is credited on the single Shadows Temple and the albums NOCTURNAL OPERA and Beyond the Gate. Apparently he did some screamed/whispered vocal parts in several songs, but his parts were performed by Juka, K or Seth in concerts. No one ever seen him: his real identity is unknown (in fact also his actual existence is questioned), but there are rumors speculating that he can be Mana himself.
