Information

MALICE MIZER’s eighth single, and their first release after quitting major label Nippon Colombia following Gackt’s departure, leaving them independent again under their own label Midi:Nette.

It contains just one track, the title track, without B-side. An instrumental version is not needed, as the track is already without vocals.

This is the first entry in a trilogy of singles that would be included in the  ‘薔薇の聖堂’ (Bara no seidou) album.

This track and music video are a tribute to Kami, who passed away shortly after Gackt left, leaving the band with only three members: Mana, Közi and Yu～ki. The band’s music and visuals would become much darker after both of these events.

Two audio versions exist, a CD single, and a vinyl which was limited to 30000 copies. It’s MALICE MIZER’s only vinyl release. A month and a half later, a VHS single, titled “再会の血と薔薇 ～de l’Image～” released, containing the music video of this song. Please refer to the videography section of this site for more info about this VHS.

If you bought this single from the 新星堂 目黒店 (Shinseido Meguro) store, they would give you a cassette tape as a free bonus, which contains a commentary from Yu～ki about this single. Please refer to the miscellaneous releases section of the site for more info about the bonus tape.
