==Notes==
* The vocals of "Ares" are not in any actual language, though the album's booklet provides lyrics for the song.
* An acoustic re-recording of "Dears" later appeared on the album ''[[Love Letter (album)|Love Letter]]''.
* Live recordings of most songs from ''Mars'' can be found on the first ''[[Platinum Box]]''.
* Two of the album's tracks, {{nihongo|"Emu ~For My Dear~"|絵夢〜for my dear〜}} and "U+K" were dedicated to the memory of the late [[Kami (musician)|Kami]], the drummer of [[Malice Mizer]], and a close friend of Gackt's. Gackt had been on tour at the time of his passing, and was unable to attend his funeral as he was unaware of the tragedy.
