      I found it randomly on youtube, and was not expecting Atsushi to just BE THERE. I think I squealed as loudly as the girls in the audience haha. Both him AND TMR have got such great stage presence. I love it.

      TMR already has such a great voice. Adding Atsushi in the mix is just double awesomeness. And the "Dress" song is great as always!

      Sorry to pop into the conversation, but I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite songs by them XD And the making-of is really funny, too. Nice share, @RaeDesu!

      Just listened to it. That was fantastic! People really hate these guys? How?! I love the guitars, the vocals and love the way they incorporate some classic Japanese instruments! Reminds me of Waggaki Band's music. Definetly will check them out soon! The only thing that sucks is that my phone with a measly 32GB is loaded to the brim with VK artists XD

      @monkeybanana4 I love this song too hahah, it's a great upbeat song. 

       

      @psychonnect_rozen I'm glad you like them! They're great, my absolute favorite band! ❤️ 

  10. I booked my hotel room for my trip to Japan in October. And I'm definitely going to go both concert hopping, and visual Kei shopping. But the only bands that I really like that are still doing concerts are Dir En Grey, D, Matenrou Opera, Kamijo and One Ok rock! 

     

    What are some bands that I should check out? Maybe buy some cheaper cds of theirs while I'm at Closet Child? Also what places should I go to? I'll be staying right in the heart of Shinjuku, right by the subway/train, so I can literally train anywhere. 

     

    I know that I'm going to go to Like An Edison, Jishuban Club, and Closet Child. But I definitely want to explore Tokyo. The last time I went, I didn't get to do what I wanted to, but this year I'm going to be ONLY in Tokyo, so I want to experience as much of it as I can! And go to concerts! (I only went to one because I had pre-purchased tickets.) 

     

    I just hope the bands that I want to see are playing while I'm there haha!

     

    I'll be there October 24th - November 7th, so if anyone has suggestions as to what I should do during that time, I would LOVE to hear them!! ❤️

      Ooh, nice! I love visiting temples and shrines. I believe there are some temples/shrines in Tokyo to see. The most famous one is the Asakusa shrine. There's also a famous shrine in Harajuku called the Meiji-jingu Shrine. (Unfortunately, I'm not sure about the furisode ^^;)

       

      Here is a more thorough list of shrines and temples I found online: https://trulytokyo.com/tokyos-best-shrines-and-temples/ Hope that helps :) 

       

      Yes! Akihabara and Ikebukuro is like anime heaven XD So much anime goodies there, lol.

      I'm guessing by your responses that you either live in Japan, or have been there enough times to know quite a bit about it. XD I may be asking you some questions as the months go on, so that I'm not totally lost and such haha. 

       

      I'm definitely going to have to buy a second suitcase, one for solely merch, and one for clothes lol. I want to make sure I have enough space for all the stuff I am planning on buying. I'm so looking forward to this trip, it's way overdue. 

    4. monkeybanana4

      monkeybanana4

      I only wish I lived in Japan ;w; It'd be so much easier to buy goods and CDs and to see the bands play live XD I've been there before, so I know a little bit about it ^^ So no problem. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to help out :) 

       

      I was just thinking how it might be a lot for only one suitcase, lol. When was the last time you visited Japan?

       

  11. I got a goodie today, and it has a whole bunch of my favorite people in it. But I mainly bought it for Kamijo and Ruiza.

      These are all in color, and they're so pretty! I'm gonna post some of them on my twitter if you wanna take a look~ 

       

      (And yes they are, I chuckled about that, too. )

    3. monkeybanana4

      monkeybanana4

      Awesome! I just saw it on Twitter and the pictures are lovely ❤️ Ruiza looks so cool leaning against the rail, and Kamijo appears as great as ever with his fabulous blonde hair xD (Thank you so much for taking pictures of it! Love gazing at these photos ^-^)

    4. RaeDesu

      RaeDesu

      ❤️ They are so lovely. I love Ruiza so much, and he always looks so handsome out of his costumes and without makeup. And Kamijo is always good looking too haha. 

      You're welcome! They're not very good cuz I took them with my phone, but once I get a scanner maybe I'll scan them cuz I want the Ruiza images for icons and such. ❤️ 

  12. I just watched the entire Kamijo 20th Anniversary DVD "La Vie En Rose" and I don't even know how I feel right now. It feels like I've ascended to another realm. It just amazes me how GOOD Kamijo is on stage. I think I'm feeling my past 12 years of love all at once, since I mentioned before that I had to like him in secret, since my friend would get mad if I even mentioned him without her saying something first (Versailles was the exception because I liked Jasmine). 

     

    But oh man, I feel so happy that I watched that. It was a great dvd. I really really hope that he's performing when I go on my trip to Japan, because I NEED to actually experience one of his lives. 

     

    He has gained the number two spot as far as favorite bands go. Sorry D'espairsRay, I love you, but the only other band that has ever made me feel this way is D. I just. I can't even describe it right now. But I feel so good. I could feel the love he had for his fans in his music. It's so lovely. Even though this was from 2015 and was pre-recorded, I still felt the love through the screen. Such a weird feeling. 

     

    But bless you, Kamijo. I hope I get to see you live one day. ❤️

      I also think it was a awesome DVD! It really takes you back through time!

    2. RaeDesu

      RaeDesu

      It really does! I was like I KNOW THIS SONG AND THIS ONE AND THIS ONE! 

       

      I also noticed that pillar on the cat=walk half way through and was like "....what is that for?" and then once I saw the rose sitting on it I knew what it was for. It was Jasmine's pillar and it was a beautiful segment that they did for him. I cried a bit at that part, especially because they used one of my favorite pictures for him when they showed him on the big screen.

       

      I am definitely going to purchase this dvd after watching it. It's so beautiful, Kamijo is a beautiful soul. 

  13. I love this so much cuz they're all playing each other's instruments. Also Tsukasa as Vocals is just yaaaaaas 

     

     

  14. I've been on a Lareine kick lately. I love Kamijo so much, and I've loved him for years. I actually had a friend who got mad at me for liking Kamijo, because only SHE could like Kamijo. So I had to like him in secret. I'm glad that I finally get to listen to him without worrying about her coming down on me. She's not in my life anymore, so I am free to enjoy my music.

      I'm not sure if you've seen this Live, but there was a mini reunion in 2015. Seeing Machi again ignited my soul.

      I have seen it! ❤️ It was so nice to see them again after so long!  They all look amazing, still.

      Brava! A real friend knows that the love for Kamijo must be shared. (I will never understand jealousy over bandomen)

  15. It snows 6 inches today and the entire state is in panic mode.

     

    Washington, PLEASE. We have had snow before.

  16. Miyavi is coming to town, and I really want to get VIP tickets, but at the same time, I haven't listened to hardly any of his new stuff (I prefer his older stuff like his Galyuu album)

     

    Decisions, decisions. It would be great to see him, that's for sure.

    1. reminiscing2004

      reminiscing2004

      I'm with you 100%. Love his old stuff dearly, and he's still charismatic no matter what he's doing. I feel the same with a lot of VK bands touring internationally. There's the urge to see them because  it's rare, but I know the desire is often fed by the part of their discography that they haven't been playing in a decade 😧

      He's great live, can't deny his skill and star power. I'm not a fan of his latest music though and that's all he plays at lives since his audience has changed a lot in the past few years. 

  17. My ENTIRE job got to hear me listening to Lynch. the other day, my headphones came unplugged from my phone, and I work in a call center so it's quiet at night time, and I was so embarassed HAHA. 

     

    My supe laughed and said it was okay, it had happened to him before, too. And I guess it's pretty common, but I had it turned up super loud so I was all AHHHHHH when my headphones came loose haha.

      I used to work in a similar environment and had "Touch My Body" by Mariah Carey as my ringtone as a joke for a weekend event with friends. Came back to work and for some reason forgot to put my phone on vibrate. Mid conversation with my supervisor (standing up in the middle of a cubicle row), my phone starts BLARING the chorus. Everyone stops talking, I just slowly reach down, turn the ringer off, and pretend nothing happened. No one spoke of it, thankfully.

      At least it wasn't some baby core oshare band. 

  18. Saw Miyavi last night. It was a lot of fun! I got there at 12:30pm (Haha standing in line early life), and then did the VIP session at 6. I was 2nd in line, and met up with friends I haven't seen in years. 

     

    Miyavi put on a really great show, I was 3 feet from him the entire time, I got front and center against the barrier! I enjoyed his performance a lot, and it was a wonderful experience to see him again, it's been too long. 

     

    The only downside was that the venue didn't offer us water, or have water available for us, which is very strange, since every other venue I have been to offered water or had it available before/after the show for purchase. So I was dead after the concert, and super dehydrated from jumping around and headbanging lol. 

     

    But it was great! Would do it again. A+ good show. 

  19. So I'm really digging "DAVID" a lot more than I thought I would. 

     

    Also bonus points for looking like Lareine Kamijo with that long blonde hair hurrr

  20. This is going to be a really long post, but I literally lost sleep last night thinking about this haha. 

     

    I really also don't know why I'm posting this. Maybe I just need to post it somewhere where people will understand. The community that I love so much.

     

    Music really has a way to change us, mold us, and destroy us. 

     

    I was super into Versailles when they formed. I had always liked Kamijo, and followed him pretty extensively through his Lareine career; although I had to do it through my friend who liked him, she would get mad if I liked him. But that's a different story.

     

    I had been a fan of Versailles since the day they started. I fell in love with "The Revenant Choir" instantly. And I fell even more in love with Jasmine You, the beautiful, talented bassist. 

     

    I ended up spending all of the money from my first job on Versailles and D stuff. To the point where I made stupid mistakes and overdrafted my account and my parents had to bail me out hah. But I knew that I had found something amazing. Versailles touched my heart in so many ways. 

     

    I ended up owning (and still do), their entire discography up through Jubilee. Including rare live-only cds and things I had to use shopping services to purchase. I had to have it, I had to support this amazingly talented band. 

     

    And then it hit me like a bag of bricks. Jasmine You had passed away. As quickly as they had come, they were gone. And I couldn't handle it. I was such a huge fan of his, I lost it. I had never cried over a celebrity death before, but I literally played "Episode" over 1,000 times, my grief was very strong. I didn't know how to deal with the fact that a musician that I loved so dearly was gone from the world. 

     

    I didn't touch Versailles for years. I wouldn't follow them, wouldn't buy their other cds. I was grieving in that way. I didn't want to hear Versailles without Jasmine in it. And whenever any of their Jasmine-included songs would play, I would skip it, as it would upset me to the point of tears. I just couldn't do it.

     

    Last night, I was watching some Kamijo videos. I can listen to his solo stuff just fine. And Lareine, too. Lareine is one of my favorite older bands; so I'm okay with them. On youtube, I was just clicking around. Watching Kamijo video after video. And then I saw it. 

     

    "Remember Forever." 

     

    A song dedicated to Jasmine, that I had never listened to, because it was on a cd that I had never bought. That I didn't know existed, because I had excluded myself from the world of Versailles. It was a live video, so I clicked on it.

     

    I was not expecting the emotional ride that I went on. Purple lights on the stage; lights for him. For my bassist. And a song that was so beautiful, I started bawling my eyes out. It was written for him, and you could tell. The quietness of the audience made it even more real. But it was beautiful.

     

    After I had finished watching it, I spent a lot of time just listening to Versailles. Thinking about Jasmine, and how happy he had made me when he was alive. And I realized that I shouldn't be afraid of change. I should continue to go on, even if something sad, or horrible happens. And that I should continue on. 

     

    Jasmine is a beautiful person, a memory that should never be forgotten. And I never will forget about him. It'll be 10 years in November since his passing. And I think I'm brave enough to play Versailles again. To REALLY enjoy them again. 

     

    For Jasmine's sake. 

     

     

  21. This song started playing on my Spotify last night, and I am enjoying it, went and looked up more lynch. stuff hah

     

     

    1. saiko

    2. RaeDesu

      RaeDesu

      I agree, they're awesome. I never paid attention to them but now I may have to lol

  22. Today is the 18th in America, which means it's my sweet prince's birthday~

  23. Woke up to this song stuck in my head..... 

     

     

  24. Yay, ZenMarket was able to order Ruiza's new album for me! Along with a whole bunch of his solo goods because I am a trash receptacle and love him so much and want to support him forever. ❤️ 

     

  25. AhhhH! I won the day yesterday! How fun! ❤️
