 September 29th, 2023, the Japanese Visual Metal tour was held at Osaka Bayside. Before the show members of the four bands were able to get Mana to take a rare photo outside in daylight. Mana calls Osaka his second home, which might be why it's the second time here in recent years Mana has taken photos outside during the day. 

The band order for this live was Moi dix Mois first. VERSAILLES followed, then Matenrou Opera. D was the final act and was followed by members of all four bands performing "Kyōsōkyoku ~ Tanbinaru Kettō", "Concerto ~ Aesthetic Bloodline". Four special CDs of the song were sold at each venue each with the lead singer of each band singing the complete song. Moi dix Mois' version with Seth singing the song also had the special edition of Mana's death vocal.

September 22nd, 1995, MALICE MIZER returned with their "Fifth night Tragedy Dinner Vol. 5" at Shinjuku LOFT. This was their first performance after vocalist Tetsu left the band. 

September 22nd, 2023 was the first night of the joint Japanese Visual Metal Tour in Nagoya. VERSAILLES opened, followed by Moi dix Mois, D, and Matenrou Opera. The final song of the night "Concerto ~Aesthetic Bloodline~" was performed by 20 members of the four bands. It was the first time the song was played live to the delight of everyone who attended.

Concerto~Aesthetic Bloodline~ by JVM Roses Blood Symphony My Translation

The sound of the bell     Signaled the end of the night

A road wet with night dew     Let's start walking

Even without words     The palm of your hand

If you place over     A melody that resonates painfully

The bad omen of the end pollutes the earth     It shocked even the ancient countries

Honor and pride of the rulers of the round table     Fight for the one you love

Leave you behind     Because can't walk

Clasp it     Pull the reins hard

Ah...Beautiful world is forever      Flowing upon the chest

Ah...Beautiful world is forever     Red drops

Ah...Beautiful world is forever

Each person's decisions and thoughts     Overlapping

Under us     Roses gathering together     Sing with the blood of indulgence

Run around the world     Beyond time     Sound of Roses Blood Symphony

Call your real name     At the castle on the rock

Shallow sleep     Invite to the garden

A gathering of lights     So won't be trapped in this darkness again

Now     Illuminating the future     The brilliance of life

Ah...Beautiful world is forever     A noble oath

Ah...Beautiful world is forever     Raise the sword

Ah...Beautiful world is forever

An unbreakable bond     High to the sky

Under us     Roses gathering together     Sing with the blood of indulgence

Run around the world     Beyond time     Sound of Roses Blood Symphony

Beyond a long history     We draw     Beautiful Concerto

With that beautiful blood     Ah, aesthetic bloodline     Echo forever

(Just my personal English translation of the song. I am sure there are other translations out there)
