So it’s occurred to me that, since I’m going to see Kaya at a store event sometime next month for reserving a copy of Salome.
I wonder if anyone out there wants to give him a gift or a card or something?
Please let me know! I can message you my mailing address ^^b
I’m not entirely sure when the event will be, but the new single will be released 6/20.
I’m going to attend this event at the Harajuku Plus store on Wednesday. The time is kind of inconvenient…but if you have time, please watch it online! It will be at 21:00 JST/8:00am EST
(Also, if anyone out there could even possibly record this event, I’d suuuuuuper appreciate it! )
You and the Mint Neko designer will be discussing their new collaboration shirt~

reblogging in hopes of more people seeing it….

somehow…the feeling of this concert felt somewhat routine?
but maybe that’s just because I’ve mostly been to tour finals before this? Like all the built-up feelings were expressed at those tour finals, so they were especially fun/interesting (Kaya’s theatrical performance) and moving (Matenrou Opera’s long MC during the encore)
Don’t get me wrong, I still like Versailles. I think they are all so very talented—Hizaki and Teru’s beautiful harmonies, Yuki’s awesome drumming, Masashi’s bass-playing…(ok, I’ll be honest, I don’t have nearly as strong of an opinion about Masashi, but that’s just because I don’t really know him as well. Don’t worry! I don’t dislike him!)
Anyway, the synchronized spins were entertaining and all, though considering how small the venue was, I felt that the interaction with the crowd was lacking. When I first saw them perform, I thought, “wow, they’ve got some great stage presence,” and I still think so. They are surely interesting to watch on stage, but somehow…the overall feeling didn’t seem very unique or special or different from when I last saw them. Yeah, we’ll go through all the motions: headbang,fist pump, shout your names…but it sort of lacked in the feeling of a special time spent together with the band and with the other fans.
Although! I did really enjoy when people started shouting for an encore, they shouted, “We are Versailles.” Then, at the very end of the concert, everyone in the venue linked hands, held them up high, and jumped together with Versailles!
Even though they only changed their name for legal reasons in the US (and they haven’t even been there in 4 years), the feeling behind the reason for their name change is still very strong.
(On a side note, I felt that the audience of this concert was much louder compared to that of Matenrou’s show!)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3wym3gB971qhsfcto1_500.jpg)

4.28.2012 - YOHIO’s concert in Shinjuku Area Square. I just found out him recently because Tomo gave me a ticket to attend the show. He just made his debut here under Universal. No, I don’t know why the guitarist has a pig balloon.
