This "La Collection des Singles" is the ultimate anthology of MALICE MIZER's most iconic era. This First Press Limited Edition includes both a CD featuring their major-label hits and a DVD with their legendary music videos. From the melancholic beauty of "au revoir" to the theatrical masterpiece "Gekka no Yasoukyoku (Beloved Night Serenade)," this collection perfectly captures the band's peak "merveilles" period. The combination of symphonic rock, classical influences, and Gackt’s operatic vocals makes this an essential piece of Japanese rock history.

MALICE MIZER is a cornerstone of the Visual-Kei (V-Kei) genre, defined by an aesthetic combined with diverse rock and metal styles[cite: 1]. During their second period, led by the visionary guitarist Mana and the charismatic vocalist Gackt, the band reached unparalleled heights of popularity. They were famous for their "Gothic and Aristocratic" concept, transforming the music scene into a world of dark fantasy and baroque elegance. Their influence remains a massive pillar in the global J-Rock and V-Kei community.
