"Dahlia" was recorded from July 1993 to July 1996 entirely at One on One Recording Studios (later named Extasy Recording Studios) in North Hollywood, California, which Yoshiki bought in 1992. The cover of the album was taken on the street of Broadway in New York City. The Dahlia Tour continued from 1995 into 1996 with quite a few dates cancelled after the March 13 show, because of Yoshiki's neck injury. They returned to the stage for the tour's final concerts and , once again two New Year's concerts at the Tokyo Dome. The latter was recorded and partially released as the "Live Live Live Extra" album, and later in its entirety as the "Dahlia Tour Final 1996" DVD.
