HIYA! Here is the full live DVD sans retour Voyage "derniere" ～encoure une fois～ by MALICE MIZER, in HD. I hope you enjoy this magnificent concert! It is really an experience to watch it all the way through, since the music is so varied.

The high points of this concert in my opinion are Uruwashiki kamen no shotaijou / 麗しき仮面の招待状, Tsuioku no kakera / 追憶の破片, Madrigal, ma chérie and of course the phenomenal regret, Kami & GACKT's duet.
As you might notice, this live is only about about 33 minutes long, that is because the band never released the other songs of the actual live. Both the VHS and DVD are like that. Not only did they not include most songs, but they also cut a lot of songs in half. The original live contained songs like premier amour, APRÈS MIDI, Kioku to Sora / 記憶と空, and even, crazly enough the debuts (I think) of Bel air / ヴェル・エール and ILLUMINATI. I wonder if these last two songs were different in this early stage than in the merveilles era.
I really hope some day we will see this full, and many other unseen lives in the future, like we had a little bit with the "sur TV" DVD in the merveilles box (uploaded on my channel). You can see in the ending credits they have much more video footage stored. But even though this is so cut, and merveilles l'espace is better in almost every way, it remains an amazing concert. I wrote "full live" in the title because it's the full DVD, the full released live, not the full actual live that we don't have, so no clickbait complaints please haha.
You might notice this is my second upload of this, and that is because this is much better. The biggest changes are a better sound quality, and it's actually the full DVD. It contains the bonus features N・p・s N・g・s and the interviews of Közi, Yu～ki and Mana. These are included in a different file of the DVD, so even if you convert it, you'll end up with three files. It took some time to mix them in it, and make it flowing, especially putting N・p・s N・g・s inbetween COLOR ME BLOOD RED and ma chérie, which I thought was the most fitting place. Like in my merveilles l'espace edit, I used audience sounds from another place of the DVD, and the intro of the CD version of ma chérie to make the transition flowing. As mentioned before, the sound quality is much better too, it was really butchered at some points, especially the piano part in my other upload. Sadly, there's still a few very small audio skips, just as in my Bel Air live (merveilles) upload, but that can't be helped. The video goes through three phases of converting/rendering, with different software and filters, and if it all is 1440p and 60FPS, of course it's going to have minor imperfections. The reason I keep it like that is because I cannot do anything about it, because it is still much better then other uploads, and because most go unnoticed since they're so small.
Another change I did was make the aspect ratio of the beginning more fitting to YT without stretching. The beginning of the DVD has 16:9 INSIDE 4:3, so black bars, making the video wider, but tinier. But at the end of Transylvania, in the transition to Uruwashiki, the ratio goes to 4:3 back for the rest of the concert. So instead of making the beginning so tiny in the screen, and cutting to 4:3 for the rest, I cropped the beginning to fit the whole screen (without stretching), and made it transition smoothly to 4:3. If you don't understand it, you can still see the original upload, or any other upload to see how it's on the DVD.
Fun fact: The full name of this concet is sans retour Voyage "derniere" ～encoure une fois～, and as a French speaker, the title is extremely funny to me, since it is completely broken French. No sentence structure, and unfitting words. They even wrote "encore" as "encoure". A translation would be like this:
Without return Travel "last" ~once again~
Pretty funny to me.
