HIYA! Here is the music video or PV for the song "Fleur" or "フルール", by Japanese visual-kei rock band "LAREINE" or "ラレーヌ". This was ripped from the extremely rare DVD "THE LAST OF ROMANCE I", and then upscaled to 4K and 60FPS using artificial intelligence. I hope you enjoy this classic!

This PV was actually one of the very first visual-kei related videos that I ever uploaded. But since then, over half-a-decade later, I've learned a lot about video quality and editing, and also got my hands on the DVD instead of using an on-line rip. And finally, the artificial intelligence is very recent technology. All of this is why I'm uploading it a second time.

ラレーヌ / フルール PV 4K 60FPS & HD 1080p

"Fleur" was LAREINE's first single, from 1998. It was self-released under their "LA-REINE" record label. This would be the very last release under that label, as they would quickly sign to SME Records after this very successful release.

“Fleur” is also one of LAREINE’s most iconic songs. On almost all lives, this song was performed, sometimes even with a section where the entire audience sings the song’s chorus together with the band. LAREINE’s fan club would also be named “Fleur”, which means “Flower” in French.

It was also the first LAREINE song to receive a music video (PV).

The music video originally released on two VHS tapes. The very rare "Fleurir", freely distributed on 1998.05.03 at their live at 渋谷(Shibuya)ON AIR WEST, and the less-rare "Fleurir ～mode estivale～", which was distributed for free to people who preordered tickets for the "Fleur FINAL ～Le Printemps～" tour. (I think all dates of that tour)

For eight years, the only way to see this music video was one of those two VHS tapes.

In August of 2006, LAREINE released an EXTREMELY-rare, fanclub-limited DVD called "THE LAST OF ROMANCE I", which contained an unreleased concert recording from 2000, but also proper DVD-quality versions of the music videos of "Fleur" and "ROMANCIA" (and some other bonus contents).

The rip of this video was taken from the DVD. I was very lucky to find someone who wanted to sell it, many years ago. The value of that DVD has now over-tripled since then!

I uploaded one of the live songs of that DVD, a performance of "Métamorphose":    • LAREINE - Live Métamorphose [Rare] (T...
