Mizérable (song)

"Mizérable" is a song written and composed by Japanese musician Gackt. It was released as his second single on April 26, 2000. The song explores themes of sadness, despair, and the pain of loss, reflected both in its lyrics and musical arrangement.

The single reached number 2 on the Oricon charts in Japan. It is considered one of Gackt's signature songs and remains a popular track in his discography. "Mizérable" is frequently performed at his live concerts, often with elaborate stage productions designed to enhance the song's emotional impact.

Beyond the single release, "Mizérable" is also the title track of Gackt's debut album, also titled "Mizérable," released in 1999. The album version features a slightly different arrangement compared to the single version. The success of the single helped to further establish Gackt as a prominent solo artist after his departure from the visual kei band Malice Mizer.
