[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.c...
"Winter Romantic" mini-album: open.spotify.c...
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.

What a time. Can’t wait for live music to be back again.

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!

The moment I click on to this video, I knew it was something special. The story behind it is amazing! I like the way the camera person captured the band members. Crystal Clear ! Excellent ! Thank you so much !

[@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.

[@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 ^-^

[@JYUK-z8o]

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. . .

[@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.

[@LitaSixx]

One of my favorite performances ever, could you maybe upload emeraude and fiancailles as well? Ty 🖤 ps loving the 4k video quality 🥺

[@SK-oz8yx]

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

[@agam615]

i love your videos, thank you for posting these!

[@marcoflaminio845]

I follow Kamijo since his first dates on Lareine, and this band was the soundtrack of my teenage days but I never understood what the fuck is Kamijo doing on the begining of the song, when the clavichord is on the background.

[@mariapaz5678]

Thank u so much ❤️ Can you up more videos of Lareine or Malice Mizer?🥺🥺

[@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?

[@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.

[@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.
