Hello! How are you? I hope you are good!
I'm a Brazilian woman and I apologize in advance if my English is bad. I'm still starting to learn English and I still make a lot of mistakes.
I started to get interested in Lost Media recently, so I came to this site looking for something I saw when I was young (I saw it only once), and I never found it again. Maybe you can help me with this thing. Thank you so much in advance!
Many years ago, around the year 2004 (I can't remember exactly), I met a girl who was a fan of the Japanese rock band Malice Mizer. I knew just a little about that band then, and one day, in her house, she showed me several videos and music clips she had downloaded from the internet and burned / recorded onto computer DVDs.
In the middle of those discs, there was a very nice video. It was what I thought to be an official music video of the song Syunikiss. It looked like something done professionally, inside a studio, indoors, and the band members looked really good. Their outfits looked like old European clothes (I cannot tell from which country… Maybe France).
I can't remember the whole video, but I think it starts with the band's lead singer, Gackt, removing a mask from his face with a dramatic movement.
I asked that girl to burn a copy of that music video onto a DVD for me (along with other 2 videos), and she told me she was going to do it later.
I waited. After several days, she gave me a DVD. But that particular video wasn't there.
I asked her if she had forgotten to record the Syunikiss music video, and she told me that she lent her DVD (where that video was recorded) to a friend, and that friend had a discussion with her, and he never returned the DVD to her.
I was very upset, because that video was the one I wanted the most.
Since that very year, I've been on a quest to try to find that Syunikiss official music video. I could find a few live videos, but the one I am looking for is not in the middle. I was able to find official music videos of other songs from that same album (merveilles) but not an official music video of Syunikiss.
From time to time, I search for the name of the song or the name of album, but I only find videos made by fans or recordings that were made at live concerts, at shows or festivals where the band performed. I have a great fear of entering “dangerous”or suspicious sites, and I don’t use torrent services… Maybe my searching is being shallow. I really don’t know if I am doing something wrong or if I am not searching in the correct places… But that is all I can do.
The video I'm looking for, as I informed before, is a video that wasn't recorded at any concert. And this is what bugs me: it feels like I am the only one who remembers that video ever existed, and sometimes I even think I was dreaming and it was something I created in my mind… But I am quite sure I really saw that video once.
I've talked to several people in the past years, asking if they've ever seen the official music video of the song Syunikiss, but they say they've never seen any “indoor” videos of that song, only the videos of the live performances.
Some people have been told me that I have a false memory of the live video of the song - they say I am mixing things and changing images in my head - but I am pretty sure it was different from a live presentation. To put it bluntly, in the official video the band members don't appear sweaty, they look like they've just gone through a nice makeup session, and the scenario looks very different from a large concert stage.
I even searched for the girl who showed me the official video in the past, and I was able to talk to her again by e-mail, but she said “I don’t know, I don’t remember, I am not a fan of that band anymore”.
I searched for DVDs on the internet, trying to find out if the name of that song appears on any of them (so that I can, at least, be sure that something like this was really made someday), but without success. Most of this band's CDs and DVDs have covers that are a bit tricky, and I don't have the money to pay for a blind purchase without being sure that what I'm looking for is in there.
Items related to this band are already rare. Perhaps, in the past, they have put a DVD of videos and clips for sale, but I can't tell. I have a hard time finding anything from Japan.
Reflecting on all of this, if that video isn't an official music video of the song, maybe it could be a piece of a performance the band did on a TV show, or maybe a recorded test / trial / rehearsal, or something close to that. Those are the only possibilities I can think of.
I apologize for the long text. I really want to be sure this memory of mine, of having seen that video that day, is not an illusion. I am sure this video is not the only one that is lost now (I saw several Malice Mizer videos in the past that I am not able to find again nowadays – I believe they are lost media too), but this one, due to the mystery related to it, is the most important to me.
The name of the album where this song is located is called merveilles. These are the words I use to try to find the video:
マリス ミゼル
Malice Mizer
Syunikiss 二度目の哀悼
Syunikiss Nidome no Aitou
メルヴェイユ
merveilles
I am already grateful for any information one of you may be able to give to me.
Thank you so much for all of your help!

I've been a visual kei J-Rock fan for quite a while so I'm familiar with Malice Mizer, I also have self-studied Japanese and offer fan translations too. My favorite J-rock band is Dir en Grey, but I also love D. and X-Japan.
