Malice Mizer First Press questions

[vapor]

Are all the first presses documented on this site? Does there happen to be any first press extras or packaging that isn't documented on this site? So far I've compiled this list (from the site).

--Albums/Singles/EPs--
Memoire (DX in slip-case with extra book)
Voyage ~Sans Retour~ (First Press in slip-case with extra booklet)
Gekka no Yasoukyoku (First Press has gold lettering and fancy paper)
Bel Air ~Kuuhaku no Shunkan no Naka De~ (First Press in box with VHS)
Au Revoir (First press in clear case with cards)
Merveilles (First Press is a book)
Illuminati (First Press has metallic cover)
Le Ciel ~Kuuhaku no Kanata E~ (First Press has fold-out jacket)
Bara no Seidou (First Press is a book)
Gardenia (First Press in slip-case with sticker)
La Collection des Singles -L'édition Limitée- (First press is a music box)

--VHS/DVD--
Sans Retour Voyage "Derniere" ~Encoure une Fois~ (VHS, First Press includes cards)
Merveilles L'espace (VHS, First Press is in clear case)
Merveilles ~Cinq Parallèle~ (VHS, First Press in clear case)
Saikai no Chi to Bara ~De L'image~ (VHS, First Press in black case)
Bara no Konrei (DVD, First Press includes cross necklace)

I couldn't find anything by searching, unless I just completely overlooked something. Thanks for the help in advance.

Saikai no Chi to Bara ~De L'image~ (VHS, First Press in black case)

this is the only Malice first pres i have and it also come with a little booklet

 

[Kamijo]

Thank you, that answers one of my questions XD. By the way, is the bara no seidou book rare?

 

[Einherjer]

memoire dx isn't first press

 

[Lilly]

Merveilles ~Cinq Parallèle~ (VHS, First Press in clear case)

+ 6 Cards...with the singles cover onthem and pics of the members

 

[Camuflagem]

Memoire (DX in slip-case with extra book)

this memoire is the third press. The first press has the serial number on the back and the 2nd press has a black and white picture on the cd and it is different from the 1st and 3rd, the obi is also different.

Thanks for the supply guys/girls. I've been trying to compile a complete checklist of Malice Mizer release, and I think I finally have. I'm going to try and tackle this monster as funds permit.


Off-topic somewhat:
I was trying to order some stuff from Third Stage... I still have 23 days to remit, but I'm kind of skeptical. It was a total of 8000JPY (I figured I'd send $75 via IPMO). It kind of irks me that I'm unable to view the contents or my order... and that they won't get back to me by e-mail regarding this. I also don't know what to include with the money order... I'm guessing they ship out according to my address. I guess I'll send the IPMO on Wednesday and hope for the best. (That's enough time to get to Japan via first class, right?)

You need to include your name, address and order number (this is important). In the URL where you can check your payment status, the number is in there. It's the one that's not the "code".

OK... so... I'm confusing myself here. There's a Bel Air movie and a song/PV right? So that means there is 5 (or is it 3 or 4) different releases with "Bel Air" in the title?

song/PV
1. 8mmCD (with 3 tracks)
2. 8mmCD (with 1 track) and VHS in box
3. 8mmCD (with 1 track) and VHS in box First Press with cards

movie
4. VHS
5. VHS First Press with cards

I can remember seeing auctions for both of the ones I labeled First Press... but I dunno if the cards were included in all releases, or just some. I couldn't find the movie listed on the site in the discography.

 

[vapor]

I think I figured it out.

3 and 5 are the same thing. It's just First Press had a different box, and included the cards. But did it come with the CD (1track)?

And 4 doesn't exist....

1) Don't double post.

2) I think le ciel came with a poster.

3) Why does any of this matter?

 

[vapor]

1) Sorry. I should of edited.
2) I think the first press was a fold out jacket. Not aware of a poster. Got any pictures perhaps?
3) Just because. I'd like to collect them. I'm sure other people would like to or have. And it's not truly chronicled in full. This site has most of them, though. Plus this site is the best/easiest/most comprehensive site to actively talk about Malice Mizer (and related bands.)

I don't have a picture, but pretty much everything Malice Mizer released had a poster associated with it. None of them actually included the poster as a first press bonus that I know of though.

By the way, is the bara no seidou book/first press rare?

By the way, is the bara no seidou book/first press rare?

Not in my experience, but it seems scarce right now. I've seen it on eBay a number of times... and lost the auctions. I've also seen it on Yahoo JP Auctions, although there doesn't seem to be any copies right now that I can see (someone is selling the promo poster though). I've also heard of people finding it in used CD stores in Japan.

You just have to keep looking for it.
