Goods Looking for: MALICE MIZER & LAREINE releases

[Cantavanda]

EDIT: releases I got in the mean time marked, will move this topic to Monochrome Heaven, since there's much more potentional sellers there.
Hello there!
I am terribly sorry if this topic will be deemed inappropriate, or if I cannot post here.

I am looking for some specific MALICE MIZER & LAREINE releases, to buy them from willing users.
I know most people here owning those won't want to sell them at all, but I can always try!
Maybe anyone here knows another person who owns any of these, or maybe someone here owning them doesn't care for LAREINE anymore as much as MM. I own almost every LAREINE release ever, even some message CD/tapes, all known sampler CD's, and more, and I'm very proud and happy about that, but there are missing things.

The release that I've been looking for the most, desperately, and I want the most, is the first demo tape by LAREINE, officially called "Laliene", but often wrongly named "Lucheri", "Lucherie", and so on.
The second most wanted release is Winter Romantic by LAREINE. It's one of my favourite releases by them, it was put on iTunes I believe, but the physical release was very limited.
POOPMEN I HAVE THAT TAPE NOW!!! now Winter Romantic tho

I own almost every MALICE MIZER release, book, VHS, DVD and a lot of posters/flyers, but releases that I am looking for are any demo tapes by them. I know almost everyone here owning them won't sell their demo tapes, but I can try haha!
I'm also looking for the second press of the original memoire, the one without serial number. I have two copies of the original memoire with a serial number, but not the second press. Question: Does anyone know how much of these were made? I'm also very interested in the famous bootleg Après-Midi E-Style tape. But maybe it's just a one of a kind, I don't know.

I THINK own every MALICE MIZER book, except Cathédrale de la rose Livre Rosé, I would compare it to the scape page if I could, but the images are bugged.... I've not been able to find any picture of the one I'm missing, nor find info about it other then scape. Can anyone tell me more about it?

Those were the main things, now a boring list of stuff I'm missing, including things already mentioned for people who didn't read:

Misc:
Promotional cassettes for releaes by MALICE MIZER or LAREINE, for use in radio stations or reviewers.
Posters/flyers that I don't have. (Laliene, Tetsu era MM, Matenrou, GIRL'E)
Any message CD's or tapes by LAREINE, they used to be very common on the market in the golden age, but now nobody cares for them anymore. There are about 20-40 message or bonus CD's of LAREINE. So a long-time collector might have some of them somewhere. I have some message/bonus CD's, and the two message tapes I know of by LAREINE, haven't seen any other, but I'm sure there's some.

I have almost all releases/presses other then these.

I WILL ONLY BUY CD's COMING WITH THE OBI STRIP(if originally included), OTHERWISE NOT. I will gladly pay a fair amount with PayPal. I will not accept crazy prices like eBay sales. Only medium prices like Mercari/Yahoo Auctions.

Also, misc question:
The "Aa majou" books in the scape book section, are those the "Les mizerables de MM" ones? Cus I know there were three of those too. I think it's that, right?

 

[flowersofnight]

Well, you don't ask for much

I THINK own every MALICE MIZER book, except Cathédrale de la rose Livre Rosé, I would compare it to the scape page if I could, but the images are bugged.... I've not been able to find any picture of the one I'm missing, nor find info about it other then scape. Can anyone tell me more about it?

It's the black velvet box with a numbered cross necklace and photobook inside. Pops up fairly regularly on YJ but there aren't any on there right now.

MALICE MIZER - Bara no seidou tour pamphlet, and are there Voyage and merveilles tour pamphlets? IDK

http://www.scape.sc/pamphlets/mm-pamphlets.php
The Merveilles tour pamphlet was that pop-up book sort of thing.

The "Aa majou" books in the scape book section, are those the "Les mizerables de MM" ones? Cus I know there were three of those too. I think it's that, right?

Yeah, same thing.

 

[sanctum]

Cathédrale de la rose Livre Rosé

It was also re-released as 'blanche', minus the box and necklace and with additional content. I believe there were some slight changes in photos as well, but I don't have both editions to compare.

and are there Voyage and merveilles tour pamphlets? IDK

There was a Voyage one, but it is very hard to find. There are scans available on the Scape main page, the links work but the thumbnails are broken.

If you're interested in the MM pop-up book I have one I'm willing to sell, but it is back home so you'd have to wait a while until I return.

Yes, all three have slipcases and OBIs too, if you were wondering.

The release that I've been looking for the most, desperately, and I want the most, is the first demo tape by LAREINE, officially called "Laliene", but often wrongly named "Lucheri", "Lucherie", and so on.

A shame you didn't post this earlier, I saw a cheap one the other day.

You probably saw the second demo (which is roughly as common as dirt), not the first.

I'm also looking for the second press of the original memoire, the one without serial number. I have two copies of the original memoire with a serial number, but not the second press. Question: Does anyone know how much of these were made?

Also, about this, there were 3000 of the first press made, and I don't think any records were kept of how many second press copies there were.
See: http://www.scape.sc/pamphlets/cherdememoire/view.php?page=2

Probably, I don't really follow Lareine too closely. All I remember is a tape saying 'LALEINE' with a black and white cover.

Then again, a demo tape with a black and white cover is as common as a VK band with eyeliner.

 

[Visual Kei Trashpile]

I'm also very interested in the famous bootleg Après-Midi E-Style tape. But maybe it's just a one of a kind, I don't know.

Its history is pretty murky, but I'm sure there are a few tapes out there. It was promotional material released around SHOCKWAVE '96, so I think they must've distributed a few tapes, right? All I've seen is one picture of a physical copy and another person mentioning something about owning a copy of it (if I remember right... I might be mistaken). If I dig around my friend base, I could find that person, confirm about the tape, and then proceed to talk about the possibility of selling it to you.

The only lead I can think of is possibly contacting the editor(s) of the promo tape's VKwiki page. Someone must've gotten his photo from someone else if not themselves, right? It's obviously someone's copy because it's a photo of it on a carpeted floor and not just a Jpeg cover. I don't know if this will lead anywhere, though. I've never seen any other photos of it other than that one, but maybe it's better circulated than I think?

Anyways, good luck on your search. I'm too poor to help you directly, all I got is some [Arr me matey] Key Party stuff and the main MM albums (minus Memoire I'll add it someday)

 

[flowersofnight]

That photo's from the original YJ auction where it was spotted, I think. Whoever took the picture certainly isn't the owner now.
We once had someone here claiming to own a copy, but she also said a lot of silly stuff like that her parents met at a Matenrou live or something

 

[Madmoiselle_Silk]

I know it's not listed, but I have two Ma Chérie that I'm selling (vol 8 and 10/11)

Aw man, I should've figured that it would be a dead end

Also, I hope the person I know who mentioned something about owning a copy isn't the same girl you're talking about

The Merveilles tour pamphlet was that pop-up book sort of thing.

Oh, is it that completely black one? I've bought something like that, but not sure what it was.

I've also bought this set of things, and have two qestions about it:

This is not the merveilles pamphlet right? Just merch?
And also, I see them only signed, is that because everyone just let the band sign it? Or because the signatures are originally printed on it? Because I've never seen signatures so cheap.

If you're interested in the MM pop-up book I have one I'm willing to sell, but it is back home so you'd have to wait a while until I return.


Yes, all three have slipcases and OBIs too, if you were wondering.


A shame you didn't post this earlier, I saw a cheap one the other day.

Is that pop up book the one I showed? I have it then!
Oh wait what?
Could anyone tell me which of the books came with OBI's and slipcases?
Mine have not arrived, but I hope they are complete, otherwise I'll have to re-search for complete ones lol.
I didn't know books came with OBI's too. Or slipcases.
And as flowers said, you're probs referring to 2ND demo, also with "LALIENE" on it.

This is cropped, but here are the covers of the two. I own both versions of 2ND DEMO, but I'm looking for "Laliene", it has also "Lucheri" written on it, which is actually not the title, but the label, very confusing. Both are black and white. The second demo is also often called "LALIENE" or "DEMO", the correct names are uncommon. LAREINE released a quite rare history book right before they went major, and it contains a catalog of all releases, I own that one, and that's how I know the real names.

I know it's not listed, but I have two Ma Chérie that I'm selling (vol 8 and 10/11)

Oh thanks!
I actually just a few days ago started collecting ma chérie volumes, since I have almost all releases and a lot of posters.
I own 8, but not 10 or 11. Are the together? Since you said 10/11, not 10 and 11. What price are you asking for it?
Thanks!

 

[flowersofnight]

Oh, is it that completely black one? I've bought something like that, but not sure what it was.

Yeah that's the merveilles tour pamphlet. The other stuff below is merch.

And also, I see them only signed, is that because everyone just let the band sign it? Or because the signatures are originally printed on it? Because I've never seen signatures so cheap.

All the "signed" fans are just printed-on signatures. I've got a "bara no seidou" era one with Klaha's signature printed on too.

Could anyone tell me which of the books came with OBI's and slipcases?

The "aa mujou" books came with both obis and slipcases, the "retour" and the various "bara no whatever" books have obis as well.

 

[Cantavanda]

Oh I see. Worthless sigs then lol! But the mercari owner of that merch advertised it as "signed!"
Luckly I didn't pay much lol!!
I have one bara no book, but without OBI, and a few stored in Japan that I still have to send this way, I hope they have OBI's.
So the only ones with both slipcases AND OBI are the Mizerables right?
But why do you call it aa mujou, not les mizerables, wouldn't it obviously be called that?

Also, added this to the wishlist:
Any message CD's or tapes by LAREINE, they used to be very common on the market in the golden age, but now nobody cares for them anymore. There are about 20-40 message or bonus CD's of LAREINE. So a long-time collector might have some of them somewhere. I have some message/bonus CD's, and the two message tapes I know of by LAREINE, haven't seen any other, but I'm sure there's some.

The books have both titles.



Les Mizerables de
Malice Mizer
マリス・ミザルの「ああ、無情」
-Subtitle-

Each volume has a different subtitle.

Vol. 1 - 天地鳴動編
Vol. 2 - 百花燎乱編
Vol. 3 - 光彩陸離編



This is what they look like with and without the OBI, this is volume 1 and 2, volume 3 was black and has the Garnet photo-shoot images on the OBI.

 

[flowersofnight]

The books have both titles.

You beat me to it, but yeah. The Japanese title seems to be more commonly used.

 

[sanctum]

Also, I've never seen an OBI for the band score, 'merveilles' a deux dimensions, 耽美実験革命 or the UV Special File.

異端審問 has an OBI and a temporary tattoo included too.

I actually have an unopened copy of 薔薇の輪舞~真夜中に交わした約束~ here with me now.

 

[sanctum]

I own 8, but not 10 or 11. Are the together? Since you said 10/11, not 10 and 11.

A lot of FC issues were double issues like this. There are 21 issues in totals, but I forget how many there actually are. My collection is back in Australia so I can't check.

 

[Madmoiselle_Silk]

Yes, it's a double issue, so it's a bit thicker than the normal ones. Shipping's super expensive here though, so I'd want 90sek, shipping included (about 10$)

MALICE MIZER - merveilles band score

Also, the band score is fairly lacking, it was created by a third party and some sections of songs are missing or the notation is a bit sparse.

The most notable one for me is the second verse of ヴェル·エール is completely absent (which makes me wonder if it was created for a different mix of the song... I'm going to go and look for some bootleg live audio to check! EDIT: I'm back, earliest recording I could find was 1997 and it matches the album arrangement).

Like I said before, they're made by a third party and comparing the band score to live footage there are a lot of differences.

 

[Cantavanda]

Oh that really sucks... Not for me though.
If I'd ever want to play MM stuff, I'll just use my ear, since I have "absolute hearing."

And Silk, I'm interested in it. But I don't live in the US, but in Belgium, is it still 90sek? Thanks!

 

[flowersofnight]

Like I said before, they're made by a third party and comparing the band score to live footage there are a lot of differences.

Now I'm glad I never actually picked one up.
