[4K 60FPS] LAREINE - Métamorphose (LIVE SHOCK WAVE ILLUSION 1999) (ラレーヌ)

HIYA! Here is a 2021 VHS-rip and 4K 60FPS remaster of a live performance of the song "Métamorphose", by Japanese visual kei rock band "LAREINE" or "ラレーヌ". This was taken from the big live event "SHOCK WAVE ILLUSION 1999", where many artists performed.
It was never put on home video or DVD, it was only broadcasted on TV, but luckily, the broadcast was recorded by fans on VHS, but the quality we have online is terrible.
I had the EXTREME luck to know somebody that knows a fan in Japan who has a VHS containing the TV-recording. I was allowed to borrow it. Then, my friends at Rarezhut (A great American VK store) ripped it with their top-tier VCR setup, and then it got sent back to Japan! So the creation of this video took place in three continents hahaha!!!
I also upscaled this fresh new rip with artificial intelligence, to make it 4K and 60FPS.
Do you want to listen to this song legally? Do you have Spotify? Enjoy!

Here's two other cool releases of LAREINE full of amazing songs!
"Fleur" maxi-single: open.spotify.com/album/6LOoCQ...
"Winter Romantic" mini-album: open.spotify.com/album/4Xe373...
LAREINE is actually my favourite band of all time. And while I think bands such as MALICE MIZER or X JAPAN are objectively higher in quality, my personal preference goes to the wonderful world of LAREINE.
And this is their peak. This SHOCK WAVE ILLUSION 1999 event is my favourite live performance by them. My favourite outfits, hairstyles, and three of their best songs were performed that day.
Yes, the singer is the same KAMIJO that would later be in Versailles, and now has a solo project.
Sadly, I don't think I can upload the full thing with three songs, because LAREINE was recently put on Spotify, so as a result, the two other songs get recognised by the KZbin copyright system, and get blocked in a ton of countries, including my own country of Belgium.
This is why you might have had difficulty finding some of my LAREINE uploads. They're still there, but blocked.

Thank you for all the effort you put into finding these rare recordings and sharing it on youtube... It's extremely important that we keep a Visual Kei archive alive, it's like a part of history that can't be lost. You don't get millions of views at the moment like other big youtubers but you are doing something that will be useful even 10+ years from now. Wish you good luck in your projects!

[@ViveLeRoi1975]

Very interesting for the voice ! It's less high than usual ! And so rare to see him live with this big hat. The sound is really interesting we really ear the choir very well.

涙曲であり幸曲であり美曲である。そして何より名曲である。　３００年後も違う銀河で歌われているだろう。愛の速度は光よりも速いのだから。。。 It is a tear and a song and it is a beautiful song. And, above all, it is a masterpiece. After 300 years it will be sung on a different galaxy. Because the speed of love is faster than light. . .

[@chimchim920]

i love old kamijo but i love both on this and his current voice even i like any music he has in any band and his solo music ^-^

[@Atomxtube]

In this performance, Kamijo its like "Mister Dimitrescu" :]

[@jenovabathory]

Could you imagine a giant Kamijo? I don't think the world would be ready for that 😆....On second thought, that would be wonderful.

[@SK-oz8yx]

I keep coming back to your channel to revisit the beautiful pages of my youth 😊

Me encantaaaa 💖💖

[@bicho-chobi]

Que risa como Emiru se asusta cuando se asoma Kamijo en el min 5:08 🤣

[@kirara154]

Thank your for your hard work as always Cantavanda. I wonder if someone can help me with this question: I really love Kamijo's long hair, but its really LONG. So is it his real hair or just a wig?

[@cantavanda]

It was his real hair. He cut it much shorter in late 1999, and never grew it that long again. In Versailles, his long hair was a wig.

[@Anna_65]

@@cantavanda Does that mean he used extensions for the more recent mademoiselle PV as well? I've always wondered, since as seen in Lareine, technically he could grow it out to that length, but this time he had it so suddenly and for such a short period of time that it was hard to believe it was his own.

[@cantavanda]

@@Anna_65 Yes, in mademoiselle, it wasn't his natural hair either. Well spotted!

[@aerismalusderis8459]

Mayu and Machi also had that hair naturally. I think only Emiru had short hair during that time, his braids being extensions, although he would later on grow his hair out as well.

[@henrique-bk3mu]

Thank you! Do you know If the New kamijo's work, Queen of versailles, was uploaded in somewhere?

[@CharLotte-el2lb]

Sorry if I’m being dumb, but how are you supposed to pronounce Lareine?

[@cantavanda]

Not dumb!! Hahaha. It's French. Pronounched in English it would be something like "Lah-Ray-N". With a French "R", and without pronounching the final E.

[@CharLotte-el2lb]

@@cantavanda I see! Thank you so much

[@themasterzer0]

is there a way to see the original rip without all the 4k 60fps edits

[@oscarafanador9964]

come to Colombia? 🥺

[@oscarafanador9964]

I want to see never Cage in HD?
