carddass 273 Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) The cult posi-punk / goth band 黒色エレジー / Kokushoku Elegy will finally have their work remastered and released again. They released a string of EPs in the mid to late 80s and also recorded tracks on various compilations. All 14 of those studio tracks were released on the 1993 compilation 'Esoderic Mania' which has slowly become scarce and more expensive in recent years due to their popularity through blogs and youtube. The new compilation will contain the same 14 studio tracks that appeared of Esoderic Mania but remastered by Itoken. Kokoshoku Elegy's lead singer Kyoko went on to form the band Harpy with Itoken and she performed in that band up until her unfortunate passing in 2015. A second disc will contain 12 live songs. This information comes from the following person who works at or with the Disk Union label. https://twitter.com/KanenoAtsushi/status/1320961463574425600 Edited October 27, 2020 by carddass 3 Senedjem, Ikna and 少女椿 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

carddass 273 Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) The tracklist from Disk Union shows that disc 1 has the same 14 studio songs as what appeared on Esoderic Mania but with a rearranged order. Disc 2 features a live recording from 1989 that features six songs which were never recorded in studio. One of those unrecorded songs, aoi Dahlia (embedded below), appeared on a VHS compilation but the other songs were never released before since the band never officially output a live album up until now.
