Versailles is a visual kei symphonic metal band based in Tokyo, Japan. Versailles was formed by vocalist Kamijo (ex-LAREINE, ex-NEW SODMY) and guitarist HIZAKI (HIZAKI grace project, ex-Sulfuric Acid, ex-Schwardix Marvally, ex-Crack brain).

The band also includes bassist Jasmine You (ex-Jyakura) and guitarist Teru (ex-Aikaryu) from HIZAKI grace project, and drummer Yuki (ex-SugarTrip). (Jasmine You passed away on the 9th of August 2009. The band reported on the 3rd of August that due to Jasmine You’s poor health condition, he had to take a break from the band’s activities. No further information has been given regarding the death of Jasmine You.)
The debut live took place at Ebisu LIQUID ROOM on June 24th 2007.

In March 2007, Versailles was formed by KAMIJO and HIZAKI, then Jasmine You , who was from Jakura and HIZAKI grace project, TERU from Aikaryu and YUKI from Sugar Trip, who was strongly recommended by Rock May Kan( a long established venue in Tokyo) joined the band.

KAMIJO and HIZAKI already had a concept of a new band since Autumn 2006 and took six months to find the appropriate members to express their ideal world. Its concept is “The absolute Youshikibi( beauty of form ) sound and extremes of aestheticism”

On 29th March, a name of each member were revealed, then a name of a band was announced on 30th March.

*horrified intake of breath* I LOVE Shout & Bites and Sympathia!! *wounded* xP @Tsumetai__ : I discovered Versailles through the free download of Prince too, didn't think so much of it at first (WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME?!) but now it's one of my favourites too :33

It's easier to say my least favorites >_<; . Shout and Bites, Sympathia, Episode, and History of the Other Side. I'll listen to all of those songs, but I just like the rest of their music over that and I really don't like ballads in general.

I just realized that the line "Without you,would be gone Far away..." in The Revenant Choir is from Imperial Concerto by Lareine.

Thank you guys. I just wondered if most of the Versailles fans tought it didn't make a good profile pic, because it's not an official shot.

Maybe because people aren't ready to have a picture of Versailles without Jasmine as main? But I don't mind, I quote Kamijo: "It was a 5 people performance, I really believe Jasmine You was there as well."
