Yes, the PV is nice with these smoke effects.
But sadly, the song itself is too generic, with a basic structure. The refrain and chorus + the drop at 1'50 are nice but it's not a very powerful song as i expected (i think i'm waiting for a sort of "Adore 2.0").
I'm a bit disappointed :/
 
Waiting for the new version of DOZE, and GUILTY, it seems to be a ballad (according to the duration, 5'00, on Tower Records)

their new maxi single "月曜日は敵、ミラー、言い訳のミストラブル、が入っています。(getsuyoubi wa teki, mirror, iiwake no miss trouble, ga haitteimasu)" will be released at 2015/08/19 (1,300yen)

It appears that Kai (Art Marju Duchain), Közi (MALICE MIZER, XA-VAT, etc) and Sadie Pink Galaxy (JUBILEE, SPEECIES, XA-VAT) have made a new project called VAMQUET. They will begin their activities in the future, but there's no specific schedule or official platform as of yet, only mentions on Közi's and Sadie's twitters.
 

 
I guess it's safe to assume that they'll have a dark / gothy sound. xD
