Hello ^^
My name is ~*Mika*~ and i've created this myspace to spread the love for my favorite band Versailles!
Following is the *about me* section from the Versailles Official myspace www.myspace.com/versaillesjp
In March 2007, Versailles was formed by KAMIJO (ex LAREINE) and HIZAKI (ex SULFURIC ACID), then Jasmine You, who was from Jakura and HIZAKI’s solo project, HIZAKI grace project, joined. Lastly, TERU (ex. Aikaryu) and YUKI (ex. Sugar Trip), who were strongly recommended by the Rock May Kan, which is a long established venue in Tokyo, joined the band.
KAMIJO and HIZAKI had a concept of a new band since Autumn 2006 and it practically took about half a year to find other members whon could express their idea. The concept was “The absolute formula of beauty and extremity of aestheticism". The duel guitar sounds like ivy of the roses which grown over agitate rhythm, Those sounds draw the story of " the descendant of the roses".”.
On 29th of March 2007, Versailles annouced the line up of the official band members. Asn soon as Versailles appeared in YouTube on May 2nd, the press from all over the world started to contact them for interviews or offering the shows. They turned down all the domestic offeres and only answered to the overseas media.
In end of May, Versailles were interviewed for a documentary TV program in Germany and it was picked up for Sankei Newspaper in Japan in June.Just after the newspaper was published, "Versailles Band" became No.1 searching keyword for the website, Yahoo!Japan. Since them Livedoor news , Yomiuri newspaper, Yomiuri TV, Fuji TV all reported about Versailles and they got a lot of visibility in Japan.
First release in Japan was DVD single "The Revenant Choir" which was only sold in the venues.The single won No.1 for the most powerful visual-kei website, "visunavi". Around the same time, Versailles got offers from four labels overseas. They chose CLJ Records from Germany and that contract made possible to release 1st mini album "Lyrical Sympathy" in both Europe and Japan at the same time.
January 2008, J Rock Awards for Best new Artist were given to Versailles.(This awards were made with three companies, J Rock Revolution, Tainted Reality and Purple Sky) Also Versailles was introduced in Billboard, USA and were paid lots of attention.
On March 19th 2008, the event "Tokyo Metrolois" hosted by Versailles were held at Shibuya AX filled with excited audiences. On the same day, the venue limited edition "A Noble was born in chaos"was released.
Versailles started to tour in Europe on March 28th and did six shows in five countries(Sweden, Finland, Germany, France and Spain) and received thunderous cheers from international fans.
