MALICE MIZER: merveilles ~Shuuen to Kisuu~ l'espace (1998)

Recordings of two live performances by Malice Mizer, edited into a complete concert experience of the visual kei band’s third studio album "merveilles", filmed while on tour in Japan during 1998 at the Nippon Budōkan Hall on April 1 and Yokohama Arena on July 22. The live video features an onstage cathedral set piece, theatrics, costume changes, and skits — performed as openings and endings of songs. The final show of the "merveilles ~Shuuen to Kisuu~" tour held July 22, 1998 at Yokohama Arena, featured in the film, would be lead vocalist Gackt’s last performance with Malice Mizer before his departure from the group in January of 1999 and drummer Kami’s last live show before his sudden passing on June 21, 1999.
