As I said before in my post ‘Tribute to L’Arc~en~Ciel’, I am going to write down all my collections…some might have left behind coz I have so many of them 🙂
There are 3 categories for my collection of love, Original Stuffs, Pirate/downloaded Stuffs, and bootleg.
Original stuffs are my treasure, for someone whose salary is around (more or less) than $200 a month, it was quite an effort to collect them all. I started buying original CDs and DVDs after the released of Smile, because it was around that time that I discovered Laruku and discovered place to buy original stuffs. Therefore, my collection of original stuffs isn’t as much as I wanted it to be. I’m still trying to buy their CDs and DVDs before Smile.
Here are my Original stuffs:
CDs:
- True
- Ark
- Ray (extended version, 15th L’Anniversary), this one contains CD and bonus DVD
- Smile (with extra DVD)
- Awake
- Kiss
- Quadrinity
- Butterfly
So…I need to buy 6 more original CDs….soon 🙂
Note: In Blue for overseas version (made in Singapore or Taiwan); In Red for Japanese Version (made in Japan), after Smile I always bought my CD from Japan as soon as it was released.
DVDs:
- Shibuya 7 days
- Otakon, Live in USA
- Smile Tour
- Awake
- 15th L’Anniversary
- Theater of Kiss
- L’7 Trans Asia Via Paris
- Are You Ready? 2007 また ハート に 火 を つける!
- 2oth L’Anniversary
- Live Twenity
Note: In Blue for overseas version (made in Singapore or Taiwan); In Red for Japanese Version (made in Japan). Shibuya is the only DVD that comes from Japan because at that time, I didn’t know that there are cheaper edition (tho I have to wait a bit longer)
As you can see…I haven’t bought their Live in Paris, it’s because my mom was recently went through a major surgery and all I have left in my saving accounts went to her (even until this day). But I’m trying to save some to buy it one day 🙂
Although my Original stuffs only consist of 6 CDs and 6 DVDs, that doesn’t mean I take advantage of them by buying pirate stuffs….for old CDs and DVDs, I will change them for pirate/downloaded stuffs into original one by one according to my savings.
Now, here are my Pirate/Downloaded stuffs:
CDs/Mp3:
- Dune (I want to buy it’s 10th anniversary version, for my original collection, but I haven’t found it yet)
- Tierra
- Heavenly
- Heart (I really want to change this as soon as possible because this is one of my most favorite album)
- Real
- Collection of C/W songs
- Ectomorphed Work (no intention of buying the original one)
VCDs/DVDs:
- Heavenly films
- Piece of Reincarnation
- Light my fire
- Grand cross Conclusion Tour 1999
- Realive 2000
- Chronicle 0,1,2 (I haven’t had time to go to my friend’s house to copy her Chronicle 3)
- Asialive 2005 (I have no intention to ever buy the original one)
- 5 Live Achieves: Light My Fire, GCT, Reset Live, Realive (tho this was released after Smile, which I prefer to buy it’s original version, but I couldn’t buy it because Laruku released them in 1 package that cost a fortune which I can’t afford, so I ended up copying my friend’s downloaded version )
- Are You Ready? Mata Haato ni Hi o Tsukeru!
(I hope I don’t forget anything)
Bootlegs:
This one is a collections of their live which never been released as something commercial (or something we can buy)
- Every live I can get my hands on from Music Station, Music Fighter, Music Japan, Pop Jam and other TV station performances (I have tons of these and I can’t mention them all)
- Various TV game (mostly played by Hyde and Ken), such as Pussuma, Mathew TV Hits, etc.
- Christmas Special ’93 (Crappy Quality)
- Sense of Time
- Carnival of True (Crappy quality)
- In Da Club (Crappy Quality)
- The Zombies
- Reincarnation live at Budokan
- Grand Cross Conclusion, different angle (presumably from television)
- Live at Odyssey
- 15th L’Anniversary (Television Version)
Well…that’s all!! If I forgot something and then remember it later on, I will update this post 🙂
Ow…I almost forgot, I also have Crystal Melody and Acoustic by other artist as tribute for them.
This is part of my:
my collection just like yours but i hate downloade somethin … well i always fail , so instead of downloading pv or live i rather buy bootlegs ….
my latest collection is CD single BLESS i bought it as my tribute to HYDE ‘s birthday last 29 of january ….
right now i am waiting for my pre order larc CD Quadrinity
Huahahaha who said I downloaded them?? My friends were the one who DLed them 🙂 having lots of friends in J-Community sure has a lot of advantages 😉
I never ever bought any singles…what’s the point of buying singles when it will be released as CD anyway.
Aaaah I want that Quandrinity…but 600thousands is quite a lot 😦
Many of mine (before Real) are cassette. Imagine, Thailand in 10 years ago, they used cassette. When the world turned to be CD/DVD I didnt give my money to L’Arc for that, so I just ….AH!
Did I visit your DA yet?
Maybe I look at it today.
Same here 🙂 Indonesia and Thailand aren’t far apart.
That’s why before Smile I only have pirate CDs/VCDs … but unlike you I’m trying to change them one by one into an original one….but for now, at least I am trying to buy the original version of all that comes out after Smile
I’ve checked your blog and you have a DA account too…I will check it once I use computer (my internet source at home is only my mobile)
That gonna waste money. I have their original cassettes already. I will feel so bad, if I pay for them again for the same albums. hihi ^ ^

Haha fortunately Larc’s cassettes aren’t much in Indonesia…so I only bought pirate CDs… And it’s not a waste at all changing pirate to original 🙂
Wow…Thailand is lucky…I could never find those cassettes here
