On the origins of Malice Mizer, our expression of visuals and music, what we gained from our Indies era, what the limits of being independent meant, and our hopes and outlook towards being on a major label.
The fusion of sound and visuals...
A story that expands before your eyes...
Your sense of hearing and your sense of sight...
The atmosphere your body absorbs from being at a concert...
Our concept of the meshing of Malice and Misery...
From these things we had progressed, learning as we went,
and culminating in this Shibuya Koukaidou Last Indies Live.
In those days, we couldn't perform our shows in small venues. [[jpn: live houses]]
We used a large scale production and set,
laid out according to our story.
The lighting and sound was finally being realized as we had desired.
This live was the summation of all our efforts.
At that time, I believe we all really learned the meaning,
of what this group called "Malice Mizer" really is.
Looking back on the Indies Last Live...
Beauty and Sadness...
The depths of love and desire...
All feelings mixed together, in an illusionary atmosphere...
These are the origins of our avante-garde concert,
in which we exceeded the notions of what a band could be.
