General Information:

LAREINE’s first compilation, released on the same day as the “再会の花” (Saikai no hana) single, and another compilation, “Reine de fleur II“. On that same day, a big revival concert was held, and all attendees of that concert received a VHS containing a music video for the 再会の花 (Saikai no hana) song.

Both parts of “Reine de fleur” contain 9 songs each; 18 in total. Both albums start and end with a short instrumental prologue and epilogue; 4 in total, making the total number of “real” songs 14. These 14 songs are all taken from their earliest releases, before they got signed to SME. These independent releases span from 1995 to 1998, ending with the single “Fleur“, their last independent release.

Other than all 3 songs on the single “Fleur“, the releases included in both compilations are:
“2ND DEMO” (Demo Tape): Just 1 song from this demo tape was included on Reine de fleur: “Dir en gray”. The other song from this demo, “Féerie“, was later rerecorded on “Blue Romance“, and it is this the rerecording that is included on Reine de fleur.
“月夜の歌劇” (Tsukiyo no kageki) (Demo Tape): All 3 songs were included on Reine de fleur.
“Blue Romance” (Mini-Album): 4 out of the 5 songs were included on Reine de fleur.
“BLUE ROMANCE～優しい花達の狂奏～” (Album): 3 songs were taken from this album, “Destinée”, “SOLITUDE” and “ROMANCIA”.

The photos of the band used for the covers and backs of this album also date from 1997.
