HIYA! Here is the full live show merveilles l'espace, by MALICE MIZER, in HD 1080p and 60FPS. This upload has much more video and audio quality than the last one, and it contains the entire show & the bonus feature at the end. Enjoy this glorious show!
This amazing live showcases MALICE MIZER in its full glory, and each song & performance is amazing in its own right. It's also an extremely varied concert full of theatrical elements, and a lot of different genres and emotions. Some highlights are the GACKT & Kami piano/drums duet, the Le ciel ending act and masterpieces from the merveilles album such as Bel air, au revoir, and Gekka no yasoukyoku. And of course so much more.
It starts off with a bang, with S-CONSCIOUS, which also happens to be my least favourite song from the album. But with all of its brutality, it's a really fitting way to start the concert and make you excited for what's to come.

If you're wondering why I upload this once again, here's the story.
Recently I uploaded Gekka no Yasoukyoku / 月下の夜想曲, as a seperate video from this show, and while talking to commenters of that video, especially Tony Oik I realised how it would be a great idea to upload this entire show again, since I am very unhappy with the current upload I have of this.
That other upload, while it does have good quality, could have been much better, both visually, and the audio. About the audio of that upload, it has occasional skips that really bother me. As you may have noticed, that upload also doesn't contain ILLUMINATI and Mezame no rasen / 目醒めの螺旋, partly due their vi0l3nt and s3xu4l nature, and also partly because these songs are right at the beginning, and could give a wrong impression of the band to newcomers.
I have decided to put my personal bias aside of these two tracks, and just upload the live fully because they really are an important and integral part of the experience, and most people enjoy them very much.
If you want to show this concert to newcomers, but not give a wrong impression, the other upload is still there already, so no need to censor this one!
Also, this upload here has been upgraded to a very smooth 60FPS, by filling in the extra frames with calculated movements inbetween.
The ending of this live has a classical requiem, the one of composer Maurice Duruflé. But the copyright holders of that original recording have decided to mute every upload on KZfaq that contains it, while MALICE MIZER has nothing to do with it. As a result of that, if you try to upload the original DVD on KZfaq, it gets muted. So as with the previous upload, the requiem at the end has been replaced by another performance of it, with cheering sounds I edited over it, to resemble the original audio. This time I did it much better than with the previous upload, it has less skips and better sound mixing.
Also, I added the image gallery at the end, it's a bonus feature from the DVD. I myself put the two songs over it to accompany the images, because in the original, it constantly looped the same part of Bois de merveilles, which can get annoying after the ending credits which have the exact same song lol. Le ciel instrumental seemed like a perfect fit for it.
Anyway, I worked really hard on this upload, because this live is just beyond amazing! And it really deserves a perfect video online for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks to Cassio, Maddy, Mizerilia, Andrea, Helena, Vlad, Anastasia and my sister for helping me choose a thumbnail! I had so many screenshots I couldn't choose, hehe!
