General Information:
Omnibus album containing three songs. One from LAREINE, and two songs from previous bands of its members.
When LAREINE disbanded for the first time in 2000, vocalist KAMIJO formed “NEW SODMY” with guitarist MAYU, and bassist EMIRU formed “RIBBON”. Drummer MACHI formed “Chanton L’amour”, but quit the music industry after just one single.
NEW SODMY and RIBBON eventually both disbanded too. But in March of 2003, LAREINE became a band again, with three of the same members as when they initially stopped in 2000: KAMIJO, MAYU and EMIRU, but without drummer MACHI, so instead, the drummer of RIBBON, KAZUMI, joined.
Later that year, in October, LAREINE decided to release an omnibus compliation CD with a song of NEW SODMY, a song of RIBBON, and a brand-new LAREINE song: “VAMPIRE ROMANCE”.
Two versions were made, one sold during a halloween concert, and another one for general stores.
