Prince and Princess: The Versailles Thread

[Einherjer]

if there was ever a picture to make me not want to listen to a band; that would be it

The song was kinda boring for me but I loved the guitars at 1:35! COOL.

This is what Moi Dix Mois needs to do. Versailles stepped it up for this song, especially classically.

Versailles is on a major label and hence they'd most probably have someone to arrange their "classical" bits for them, not to mention real actual musicians playing real instruments. Mana does all his arrangements himself and uses synths most of the time. I do however, agree that some of the synths sound really bad (e.g. violin from eternally beyond)

 

[Berserk]

These guys know how to write. They know how to play. They know how to be.

It kills me that Mana has such a more interesting aesthetic but can't be as great as these guys simply because he hasn't dedicated enough to his technique.

And not a big deal, but I want y'all to know there's nothing classical about the "classical" bits That's totally contemporary.

I agree with this - which is why i used the apostrophes. Still, I rather like the arrangement for the piano & violin in this song.

Oh my god that video was the best...so sad...
I miss Jasmine You. Oh Hizaki looked so beautiful! I love Kamijo's outfit so much!
Yeah the guitar part at 1:35 was amazing! I can't wait to hear the rest of their new album!

1. "God Palace -Method of Inheritance-" 10:30

Nooooo! Too long. xD Even worse, is that at least 2 minutes of that is going to be weird soulless English narration.

 

[Phantom Pabulum]

Reminiscence seems like an instrumental. Eggciting!

 

[Mademoiselle Folie]

yes, a shame only 2:30 for Reminiscence :/

1. "God Palace -Method of Inheritance-" 10:30

Lets hope it's not Kamijo doing the narration though. I watched their mini movies recently and in the final movie. He is so hard to understand

Apparently if you get the first press edition you get a poster. Neat I think this will be my very first poster of a band I actually like. Shoxx floods me with Nightmare and Gazette posters

 

[adonis]

I just receive a mail from CDJapan about a new ROCK and READ book featuring Kamijo's inteview about Jasmine You.

 

[Lem]

Ninja edit!!

I just got my copy of shoxx and it had dates for Versailles world tour. These all look like Japanese venues though nothing on their overseas concerts yet :[

 

[inertia]

Shoxx vol. 203? The ad in that issue only has Japan dates.
It's already on the OHP
http://versailles.syncl.jp/?p=custom&id=498922

or you can look here for romanized city/venue names and a tour map

This Japanese site has detailed information about preorders for each venue
http://www39.atwiki.jp/versailles/pages/16.html

General-admission Lawson/Pia sales will start in January.
Apostles sales will start on 1/16
Jubilee sales start 1/30

Since they're calling it a "world tour" I imagine they're working on some overseas shows and will announce them later.

Somehow I never got around to watching these and then forgot about them. Thanks for reminding me.

I love Kamijo but that was just hilarious.

Also, Vampire Jimi at 3:00.

True- he does seem to really struggle with English. Apparently in the mini movie he had a team of people helping him with pronunciation, but it appeared that in many places they'd eventually just gone " Yeah, OK. Close enough. I need a drink..." and buggered off to the pub.

I think he's gradually improving though. And to be fair, his actual English seems to be pretty good, it's only the pronunciation he falls down on.

Apparently if you get the first press edition you get a poster. Neat I think this will be my very first poster of a band I actually like. Shoxx floods me with Nightmare and Gazette posters :

Bah, GazettE- you can't get away from them, no matter where you go or how fast you run there!

Yeah... I'm not exactly a fan. Just in case you couldn't tell :p

Am I the only one a bit peeved at how little time Versailles got in the Vrock footage- it was their first live after a horrible setback, and the broadcasters gave them what, a minute? I know the broadcasters have to go by what's popular, but that was just... not on.
