General Information:

LAREINE’s first full album, “BLUE ROMANCE~優しい花達の狂奏~”, containing 8 different songs, released nine months after the first mini-album, “Blue Romance“.

This album can be considered a complete re-interpretation, or even a re-try of the “Blue Romance” mini-album. But while both releases have the same concept, they’re still considered DIFFERENT releases. This can be confusing, espcecially since they both have similar names and three songs in common.

The album contains three re-recorded songs from “Blue Romance“: “BLUE ROMANCE”, “Féerie” and “季節風” (Kisetsufuu).
It also adds the two songs previously released on sampler CD’s: “再会の花” (Saikai no hana) and “ROMANCIA”.
It also contains a re-recorded song from their third demo tape,  月夜の歌劇: “悲愁の花園” (Hishu no hanazono)
Finally, it added two brand-new songs: “Destinée”, and “SOLITUDE”.

There are two versions of this album, both released on the same day.

One deluxe version with a slipcase, and an extra photo book. It includes these 8 songs just mentioned above. This version does not contain an OBI.

The other version is a little bit rarer, it’s a regular CD jewel-case version, without slipcase or extra booklet, but with an OBI. This version is still worth getting, since it contains an extra, ninth track, a new version of the song “Féerie“. Check its song page for full details on this new version. The bonus version of that song also has a slightly different title.

This is also their first release after AKIRA left the band, making LAREINE a 4-man band. This specific lineup of KAMIJO (vocals), MAYU (guitar), EMIRU (bass) and MACHI (drums) that started here would become their most iconic one, and remain like that during the entire major period.

According to a flyer dating around March of 1997, this album was supposed to release the 18th of June, 1997, with the song “MIST” included. The reason why they didn’t stick to the original plan is probably because of AKIRA leaving the band in April of that year. The album was then postponed, and the concept changed a bit.

“MIST”, the only LAREINE song composed by AKIRA, was released on a demo tape instead, distributed on the day he left, instead of this album.
