Summary

"Dahlia" went on to become the title track of the band's 1996 album and one of Yoshiki's last compositions in his signature blend of speed and symphonic metal. The song's title, "Dahlia", appears in the lyrics as an acronym during a voice over, which says "destiny, alive, heaven, love, innocence, always, destroy, aftermath, hell, life, infinite".

The single was released with two different covers. The B-side is a live version of "Tears", recorded on December 30, 1993, at the Tokyo Dome.[1] The same recording also appears on their live compilation album Live Live Live Tokyo Dome 1993-1996.

Commercial performance

The single reached number 1 on the Oricon charts, and charted for 8 weeks.[2][3] In 1996, with 412,810 copies sold was the 72nd best-selling single of the year, being certified Platinum by RIAJ.[4]
