"Mizerable is a song that came from Gackt's mini-album of the same name; this single contains the title tracks plus an instrumental version, like almost every other Japanese single.
The song itself is amazing; I was surprised when I popped the little 3inch disc into my portable cd player and pressed play. I've only have 2 of his albums, MOON and DIABOLOS, so I wasn't expecting this; I like it alot better, actually.
In total, I've listened to the single 3 times already and I just opened it today. It comes in a note-pad-like paper that is folded across a plastic mini-holder and glued to it. It's really pretty; the back fold has lyrics in silver-lettering on the first back flap.
I'm surprised amazon has this instock; it's an out of print item, last I heard, so buy it up before it's gone. It's well worth it (though if you already own Mizerable, the only reason you should buy this is if you are a Gackt-everything collector. I bought it because I don't have Mizerable yet.)"
Gakuto-sama~!

"This is one of the several Gackt songs that has made me cry. Its too beautiful, and you don't even have to know exactly what he is saying to hear the feelings that went into the song. It's wonderfully arranged, and despite how sad it makes me, it still makes me start dancing. It truly is an amazing song and well worth the money."
*cries* beautiful

"I love this song. Gakuto-san truely impresses me with his ability to make rock sounding music while using the calming beauty of the violins. This cd is a must! I'm not to keen on his more rock-ish songs, but this one is on my list of bests."
Just cuz its not in english doesn't mean it can't rock!

"One of my friends who's had a deep crush on me sent this song to me over Yahoo Messenger. At first I just scoffed because I didn't know what it was. Being an english speaking American I was more concerned with American bands like Slayer, Marilyn Manson, and Nine Inch Nails that sang/screamed in a language I understood.
I stumbled across the mp3 Collin had sent and decided to give it a listen out of boredom, I was totally shocked (and hooked). The vocals, the violins, and the whole arrangement of the song was simply beautiful. Granted it was in a whole other language that made no sense to me, I FELT the emotion in Camui Gackt's music.
This revelation that music doesn't have to be in english to be great spurred me to seek out more japanese rock artist such as Dir en Grey, L'arc en Ciel, Malice Mizer (whom Collin seems to know everything about) and my current favorite "Moi dix Mois." I'm well on my way to becoming a full-time japan-o-phile.
I've listened to Mizerable so many times I can actually sing the phonetics from memory, though I don't know what the hell I'm saying. I'm also quite infatuated with Inu-Yasha ^_^ so the same goes for DAI's "Fukai Mori" I can sing along to it, just dunno what I'm singing.
But who really cares???
Its just beautiful music!
PS: Do a google search for DJ Jinnai, that guy pwnz!"
Ah camui gackt! any jrock fan is BOUND to buy this single!

"Ever since his leaving Malice Mizer, Gackt has been under pressure to produce at the MM level or better - and he's so obviously accomplished that! Mizerable is the most beautiful song - which is expected from Gackt's exquisite tastes and even more incredible voice!"
