A Collection of Love

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.

My ‘original’ collection

Here are my Original stuffs:

CDs:

1. True
2. Ark
3. Ray (extended version, 15th L’Anniversary), this one contains CD and bonus DVD
4. Smile (with extra DVD)
5. Awake
6. Kiss
7. Quadrinity
   
8. 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:

1. Shibuya 7 days
2. Otakon, Live in USA
3. Smile Tour
4. Awake
5. 15th L’Anniversary
6. Theater of Kiss
7. L’7 Trans Asia Via Paris
8. Are You Ready? 2007 また ハート に  火 を つける!
   
9. 2oth L’Anniversary
10. 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:

1. Dune (I want to buy it’s 10th anniversary version, for my original collection, but I haven’t found it yet)
2. Tierra
3. Heavenly
4. Heart (I really want to change this as soon as possible because this is one of my most favorite album)
5. Real
6. Collection of C/W songs
7. Ectomorphed Work (no intention of buying the original one)

VCDs/DVDs:

1. Heavenly films
2. Piece of Reincarnation
3. Light my fire
4. Grand cross Conclusion Tour 1999
5. Realive 2000
6. Chronicle 0,1,2 (I haven’t had time to go to my friend’s house to copy her Chronicle 3)
7. Asialive 2005 (I have no intention to ever buy the original one)
8. 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 )
9. 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)

6. In Da Club (Crappy Quality)
7. The Zombies
8. Reincarnation live at Budokan
