MALICE MIZER - Bel Air

Merveilles is the third studio album by Malice Mizer, released on March 18, 1998. It is the band's only album on a major record label.

Its title was coined by Gackt as a keyword to the theme. Its overall concept is "a story that goes back and forth between the present, the past and the future across time". However, the lyrics are not set in the real world as it is, but in the fairy-tale world, the medieval world and the future world. This album marked the pinnacle of the band's success, being their best-selling album, charting high on the Oricon charts, and also earned them several national TV appearances. Japanese pop culture website Real Sound credited Malice Mizer as the first visual kei band to incorporate European aesthetics into heavy metal with the twin guitars in "Bel Air ~Kuuhaku no Toki no Naka De~".

ILLUMINATI

"Beast of Blood" is the last single released by Malice Mizer on June 21, 2001. Since i can't find a decent description of this single online, i'll try to write one on my own. 
This song is probably the most beautiful thing i have ever listened to, it was one of the first songs i listened of Malice Mizer, and i was hooked immediatly. In a nutshell, the theme of this song is about a vampire (as the title suggests, a beast of blood) who is searching for a pray and drinking its blood. In this piece Malice MIzer mixed together organs, harpsichords, and electric guitars.

MALICE MIZER - Après Midi あるパリの午後で

Lyrics:
朝もやに零れた光
永遠の夜に
終わりを告げて
君は今 震える
まぶたを開き
拡がる夜明けの庭園で
貴女と共に......
微かな日差ししに佇む君に
僕が差し出した白い花を
その指に触れて
胸に抱くとき
つぼみの花は開く
ガーデニア
君のあどけない瞳
愛しいその全て
貴女を連れ去り
このまま優しく
抱きしめて離さないように

まるであの日見た
夢の続き
回想の森に浮かぶ光景
君を迎えよう誓いの庭園で
つぼみの花が開く
ガーデニア
君のあどけない瞳
愛しいその全て
貴女を連れ去り
このまま優しく
抱きしめたい
ガーデニア 君と
汚れなき花の
甘い香りに包まれて
貴女を連れ去り
このまま優しく
抱きしめて離さないように
夜明けと共に
貴女へと囁く
｢愛しい人...ガーデニア｣
