Happy Birthday, Jasmine You

It is now the 8th of March in the UK, therefore as this day passes (and has passed) around the world, we all wish Jasmine You a very Happy Birthday ♥ We all miss him and will forever keep him close to our hearts ♥

Hizaki just tweeted: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jasm...ine You!!How`re you doing?I`ll never forget your smile..."

As did Teru: "今日はYouさんの誕生日だね(>_<)「for You」一緒に聴こう！(Translation - Let's listen together today (> _ <) "for You" It's You's birthday!)"

Let's all take a moment to think of Jasmine, and look to Teru's composition for comfort ♥

New Releases!

Versailles have announced that their next release shall be on released on April 25th! The tracks included are “Rhapsody of the Darkness” (music: Hizaki, lyrics: Kamijo) and “Illusion” (music & lyrics: Kamijo)~ ♥ 

Masashi updated his blog giving us some more information:
"The title song "Rhapsody of the Darkness", with its excellent use of a cembalo and pipe organ, is a neoclassically-arranged dark and speeding Gothic & Speed Metal tune!

The story of two people who are destined to be separated from one another is told.

Simultaneously released is "Illusion", a number that portrays scenery through dramatic development and arrangement, and its heartrending lyrics are impressive to say the least."

He also mentions that these will be online releases!
Thank you to Masashiinenglish.blog and @KAMItranslation

R.I.P. Andrea ♥

 

We are afraid we have some very sad news. One of our very own Roses, Andrea, has lost her fight with cancer. Please keep her, and her family in your thoughts, and take a moment of silence in respect of her memory. Rest in Peace, Andrea.

 

Support Andrea

Dearest Descendants,
A fellow Rose, aged 28, named Andrea Quiñones has been diagnosed with Panceatic cancer. 

As you can guess this must be quite upsetting for her and her family. The survival rate for this form of cancer is not promising and thus brings much heartache.

Versailles were notified of this and sent a small get well soon message however the world Versailles Street Teams wish to help out and show our support too, therefore it would be much appreciated if we could all pull together and show our support. 

If you could please spare just a little bit of money, please donate to help her:

Vampire Requiem

According to the translation of one of our leaders, Kaya says: 

”Ah, Vampire Requiem, is Versailles’ Vampire…

We have a little connection (I spoke with KAMIJO about it in advance).

The story is truly special (See for details of the story and tour’s release), 

I hope you can have fun thinking of an interpretation for the story of this song OK ♪"

 

 

Versailles to be aired on Radio?

We had a great suggestion from a fellow Rose (Jarrad Townsend) for a promotional project for the New Year!

We are looking to be getting in contact with ‘Kerrang’ and other alternative radio stations across the UK in hopes that they will consider broadcasting a couple of Versailles tracks. We can't promise andything, but we will try!

We ask that if any of you know of a radio station that we can contact then please comment here or email us (you can find our address on the information tab of this page). Also, what tracks do you think we should recommend? Kamijo said in a recent interview that ‘Philia’ is a good first song to listen to and Teru did with ‘The Revenant Choir’. What are your thoughts?

We shall be looking into starting up a petition, so please keep your eyes open to help support us!

We Are Versailles~!
