"After Cloudia" for the Soul

[creative_kiss]

Emotional meltdown last night; had long, 2am conversation with my actual sister. So I was emotionally and phyiscally drained, slept till eleven (God, I hate that) and am now suffering dead-brain. I believe I told aerysa that there was a difference between stupid-braid and dead-brain. Stupid-brain is much more of a delirium, like what happens when you

I experienced the same devastating feeling when they skipped out on the UK when they toured Europe in 2008. Especially as they did fan meetings/signing sessions then, too. I would have travelled to Sweden if only I had a passport at the time. ...Oh well. No signing session, & the opportunity to touch Kamijo's flesh never presented itself.. he simply stood before me with a gaze that pierced my soul, like the tantalising bastard that he is. But I at least have one of their personalised guitar picks & the right to say "I touched Hizaki's wood (of his guitar)." Which more than makes up for Kamijo's inconsiderate behavior.

Ahahaa.. oh. >_> Well you should. I think it's awesome. I did like the Noble outfits, just not as much as the previous set. Maybe with the exception of Hizaki's dress. Technically Kamijo's is better (& I do think it's gorgeous). Much more regal & princely. It was a relief to see that he disowned the Shout & Bites hair, too.

Teru's jail bait attire makes me feel wrong when I look at him dressed like that. D: I think I'm one of the (probably few) people who is glad that Teru's most recent change has his stomach & legs completely covered up. XD I was never a fan of him sporting spikey hair either, but that all boils down to personal preference. Next I'll start talking about how Yuki should still have black hair, but I won't. I'll end up coming across as some kind of elitest snob. XD

Bahaha, pimp cloak! XD Reminds me of the first time I watched Chateau de Versailles, & Kamijo started out wearing that long coat of his (though I have to ask why with his Ascendead Master outfit). I love that coat. I especially love how it sparkles. Then after Silent Knight he disappears, & returns for the next song without it. I was like 'NUUUU, the sparkly cape-like cloak is GONE! D:'. Then later, for the encore, he was wearing the P&P outfit with the most magnificent cloak ever. That made me happy. Anyway, the v-neck I was referring to is the super v-neck. ;D This one:

It's loose, so when he leans over...
*Totally not innocent.*
Videos like the one where Kamijo pushes Teru over are victim of my wandering eyes. It amazes other people that I even notice these things. It amazes me that they don't. And if you haven't seen the video/need reminding:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnj32KTzu_Q

Oh my.. I am surprised someone feels that way. XD

[creative_kiss]

Right well, you got your second chance, so I'm expecting mine. You should write Kamijo an angry letter. "You're too sexy for your own damn good and you're so inconsiderate of the effect you have on me!!!" Or something like that. I don't know if that would help, or if it would stroke his ego.

I'm glad he lost the long hair. Like, it's nice as it fits the "Mister Pimptastic" mold that I use to tease him with. (ie pimp-cloak/my icon). But it's not enough eye-candy. Saw the picture, do love that shirt. Yum :)

Apart from his being exploited in a sense, Teru's "jail-bait" is really very cute and innocent. Apart from the jail-bait aspect. I just think it's cute, especially with his large eyes and his dimples (face) - all around adorableness. I'm okay with him wearing actual pants too... still miss his belly though. Like, what is that about anyway?

Black hair! Nooooo! I love his hair just the way it is right now. Or rather, the style it's in. I wouldn't mind if it was black, I just didn't like when they tried to make him look feminine because to me, Yuki is the ultimate man, the knight. Yeah.

And I've definitely seen that video. I actually have an icon of it, it's just not uploaded to LJ right now. But yeah, Kamijo is kind of a boss. I'll bet you the jail-bait look was his idea....

[rosen_schwert]

I'm sure you'll get that second chance. A lot of people state side got pretty angry about it, right? They won't be able to avoid it forever. I've been considering sending him angry letters about certain things for the past few years. Pretty much every time something goes wrong for me involving Versailles I go ahead & blame him. Even though I know it's usually not his fault.

I honestly don't know what my favourite Kamijo hair is. I love it long, short (by Kamijo standards), dark, light, WHATEVER. As long as he doesn't shave it all off or put it back into a lol-tastic style featured in a Kamijo mobile photoset I am satisfied. But I think your icon is more pimp-fluffy-bed-throw than pimp-cloak. XD There is a small amount of better Kamijo eye candy scattered around the internet.

Aww, I don't want Yuki to look female or change the style altogether! I just think it would have been cool if he's kept the black hair, instead of being like the mass majority of Japanese artists that dye their hair. Not that there's anything wrong with that, either. If Masashi becomes one of their number, his hair better not go through any drastic changes. If it does, I am blaming Kamijo. I bet he'd be like: "No, Masashi. This hair is too sexy on you. You have to change it. I will not tolerate competition."
(Even though Yuki's actually pretty damn hot as well, but I don't think he's as comfortable in front of a camera as the others so it doesn't reflect in his pictures quite as often.)

I just wish there was a hige quality zoom feature on youtube because that is a hell of a lot of flesh Kamijo exposes when he bows/leans down. ): ): ):

[creative_kiss]

A lot of people were angry. I was sad, but I think I understand what happened, so then I was okay with it. I'm pretty sure they chose to tour Latin America this year instead of North America. I don't think that Latin America gets a lot of tours, plus Versailles had never been there before, and as they had already been here, they made a choice. I think they're trying to make sure everyone got to see them at least once, I respect that. Just expect them to visit soon. Must say, I think Kamijo would be flattered to see the effect he has on you, haha

I wasn't crazy about the super long. Whatever length he's hand ongoing, I like it. This shorter, almost shoulder-length look works for him (for me). That icon simply ties along with "Mister Pimptastic" which is my nickname for him. It's that in combination with the P&P pimp-cloak that solidifies the joke, ya know? And trust me, I have my stash of Kamijo photography, haha. Gotta love google :)

Right, I think he would look great with black hair. Japanese people have been trying out this "western look" thing for years. It's all blonde hair and wider eyes. But Many of them look great with standard black hair. I hope Masashi's hair stays the way it is. There are already enough fangirls that hate him simply because he could be the new bassist, I don't think he will present any competition for Kamijo, not for a while...

I think Yuki's too relaxed to be much of a camera guy. Possibly shy. But you know, as soon as you put him behind his drum kit, he's like a totally different guy. He has this new energy about him, and the brightest, cutest smile.

Zoom, huh? Just to look at Kamijo's chest? Maybe you SHOULD send him a letter, tell him to take his shirt off every once in a while ;)

[creative_kiss]

Oh, while I remember... Watched the History of the Other Side performance of "Beast of Desire". You only like it because Kamijo keeps touching himself, right? And because of the way he was playing with Teru's face! I'm on to you....

Was a good performance, but it was kind of trippy too. They did a good job of combining the footage from different nights, but it was obvious that their clothes and the venue kept changing throughout the video, haha :) Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I watched it.

[rosen_schwert]

At first I had no idea why England was skipped back in 2008. But after reading something from Teru's blog recently, I started to think maybe it was because they had concerns about how they would be received here. Teru said that they were all anxious about playing in the 'country of rock'. I'm so pleased that their fears were cast aside as soon as they started playing & experienced our reaction. I don't know about North America though, since technically they never toured there. Perhaps they're still feeling butthurt about the incident that occured the last time they were there. >_>

Hmm.. I am somewhat confused now. XD Do you mean Kamijo's fluffy blanket looks like the P&P pimp-cloak or..? o.o I can definitely picture him looking supremely pimptastic if he were to combine that outfit with long extentions. And a cane.

I know Masashi won't ever be more popular than Kamijo purely because of the place he's been filling. But he is still SO good looking. I admire him for stepping up to the task of filling in the place for someone who's passed away. That's gotta take a lot of guts. If it were me, I don't think I'd be able to do it. I'd constantly worry that I would be failing the expectations of the other members.. &, of course, the fans. Knowing how fussy & snobbish some of them can be really would not help.

As for Beast of Desire live...
...Yeah, that's pretty much it. But I still loved that song before I ever saw that footage! Hell, before that footage even existed. What can I say, I enjoy perving on Kamijo's moist, glistening neck whenever given the opportunity. And when he goes & runs his hands all over it to THOSE lyrics it's just... jhejksfhj. :( :( :( Teru's face & hair look rather sticky too. And if my memory serves me correctly, he pulls quite a few serious pouts when playing near Kamijo.~
I think The Revenant Choir footage from History of the Other Side was far more trippy. Just because it kept flicking between Yuki being half naked & then not again. o_o Had me confused for a moment.

[creative_kiss]

Right, there's logic to it all. But it's just hard for the rest of us to be patient, especially aftering hearing everybody's stories about the tour. Even so, it's got me twice as excited for what can happen once they do get here... And... incident? What incident?

Either/or. The joke mostly stemmed from his P&P pimp-cloak, but I use his fluffy blanket look too as part of the joke. They all go together. But haha, I like your idea! :)

Masashi has been a real trooper. Especially amidst all of the fangirls that have resented him so much for doing a job that Versailles ASKED HIM TO DO. I don't understand how they could be so selfish... Still, sounds like he's doing a great job, and after this long year together, I'm sure they will keep him. Or else pick somebody real soon.

It's definitely a good song. And the very cool thing about Versailles fanservice is that they don't have to totally start humping each other to make people happy. They can be mild and "professional" and still get the crowd excited; that's skill. I don't think I'd respect Versailles as much if their act was sustained by pseudo-sexual activities.... And that performance totally solidified my point! Teru = jailbait! Of course, I'm only teasing. And besides, it's nobody's fault that he was born with such adorable genes :)

[rosen_schwert]

Ohh, the incident where they were forced to add Philharmonic Quintet to the end of their name after a clash with the American band Versailles. D: Suck.

Since they're recording new material right now, I think that the decision has already been made. Kamijo has recorded the vocals for one of the songs, & surely that's one of the final stages? I'm not sure, because I don't know a great deal about that kind of thing. However, if that IS the case then the bass will have already been recorded. If Masashi is staying, I think he'll be included in the single & will probably have been the one to play the bass. But I could be completely wrong. @_@;

Hmm.. well in France there was an incident involving Hizaki's guitar going totally dead for 20 minutes. So Kamijo had to attempt to entertain the crowd until they fixed the problem. During this I believe he said that he likes the way the French kiss. Then totally frenchied Teru. So, uh... >_> Since I saw Teru in his P&P outfit I've always felt like a child molester just for looking at him. D:

I just have to say that my friend is in the process of painting her face right now in preparation to be a zombie. The paint is meant to be grey, but it's got a blue-ish tint. She looks like a clay woman, & for some reason it's really making me laugh.

[creative_kiss]

Oh, that thing. I don't think they'd still be dwelling on that. The whole reason they tacked on "Philharmonic Quintet" is so that they could tour here without trouble. What's the point of making the effort if they're just going to stay sour. I really think they just chose Latin America over us. And I tried looking for some music by this American Versailles. Nothing. So I don't really know who they are...

I'm pretty sure it's already been made. I just assumed that they were going to wait until after Jasmine's anniversary so that they could make a clean announcement for the new year. And well, they could just have Hizaki on bass too, we just have to wait and see...

Nooooo! Don't say that! You ruined it! You ruined my total respect for them. :P And I thought they could be talented and clever without fanservice.... Mister Pimptastic is right... Kamijo's on his way to making Teru his whore. I'm saaaaadddd.

Oh yeah! Did you say what your zombie outfit is going to look like?? I'm sure it will look awesome regardless, but I was just thinking about that today when I noticed what day it was...

[rosen_schwert]

I don't think so either. I was just coming up with random alternatives for the sake of it. >_> I never even bothered with looking the music by the American Versailles. I was too busy feeling sorry for poor Hizaki to care.

I just thought that if they're to release a new single & Masashi were to officially join them later, he would have to be included in the new single when it's released as well. I think it would be unfair on Masashi's part if he joined, then they released a single that he was not involved in. Whatever happens, I hope there is a PV to go with this new single when it's released.~ I also hope it's released sometime around Christmas with about 12 different versions so my family can buy them for me as Christmas presents. >8D

...Oops. D: In that case.. I lied. I apologise. I was not there. I saw nothing. There is no reason for you to believe I word I say. >_> But IF that was the case, I bet Kamijo would be a mean, abusive master.

I also apologise for deciding to become a zombie pirate. XD The siren/mermaid idea was so much better, but I just did not have the time/funds to go through with it. D: Thanks to those contact lenses I looked more like a vampire anyway.

[creative_kiss]

Haha, they'll get here eventually. Not worried about it. Just anxious. I just wanna know now so I can make preps for my costume. I already have a vision; it will be epic! :)

That makes sense. It would be awful to release a single after he's made official and for him to have made no contribution. I know, I want a new PV too. It's been ages. Actually, I've always wanted them to do a PV for "Princess" because it's my favorite, and now that it's on a full-length album, my hopes have been restored. Got my fingers crossed; I want to be that princess!

It's too late! You've scarred my innocent mind! Waaaaahhhh! But it's okay, I guess. It's not your fault, it's Kamijo's fault for manhandling Teru. :( Meanie!

It's okay, you're forgiven. Still want to see a picture though. As for the contacts, vampire, zombie; they're both the living dead (but... are vampires dead?) Anyway, it's more important that you had fun anyway...

[rosen_schwert]

I was anxious. too. D: And so very ill prepared even though I had ages to sort everything out. The costume I wore was dark blue with black lace details. For no reason whatsoever. Anything it could relate to is a total coincidence.

Apparently there's three versions to it. Regular, & two limited edition types. Which is better than the 12 I was originally expecting. Probably means that there will be a PV with one of them, too.~ I wanted a PV for Princess, too. It's one of my absolute favourites, as well. It sucked that they released 6 different versions of that but not a single PV. >:\ *sulk*

Nuuu, don't blame Kamijo! Blame the French vibes that are seriously not good for that man! Or Hizaki's guitar for dying completely so Kamijo had the job of amusing the crowd for 15 minutes while the issue was fixed.

Gaaah! D': And I wasn't lying when I said all the photos are atrocious. It would be reeaaallllly inconsiderate of me to post any of them online. >__>

[creative_kiss]

AT least you got to go. Costume is such a small part of the festivities. Only thing I can't think of are shoes. You can never see Hizaki's feet, so you never know what's going on under there... He probably has sneakers, lol Hmm... Maybe I should just wear boots for the hell of it. But could I stand to wear them all night long?! The agony!

Really? And where are you getting this information? Actually, nevermind! If they do do a PV for "Princess", Hizaki better not be said princess and I will audition! Yep yep! Hahahaha, not that I'd really be any good, but just because :)

It's all his fault! That douchy pimp-lord! Noooooooooo! And I can't blame the French. It will sound racist for one reason or another. And I can't blame the guitar because it's a piece of machinery; those have glitches all the time. I just blame Kamijo! *wails~* :( AND Teru for not defending himself!!! (maybe I could get that role for "Princess" - Don't you just love my melodramatic skills?!)

Fiiinnee. I give up.

[rosen_schwert]

From what I've seen I'm pretty sure Hizaki wears regular flat shoes with the long dresses. Whereas the rest wear chimney stacks & tower above that dainty princess. I wore boots all night. The agony did at least disappear while they played. But when they left me it came back so bad I could hardly stand up. Luckily I was still intoxicated by breathing air tainted (in a good way) by Versailles so I managed to endure it better than I normally would. Otherwise I might have cried.

From karasu, who apparently found out from the BH forum. I am pissed because they are released on 27th October, which isn't close to Christmas. That means I have to pay for them all myself, sdjhakjd. D: I'll bet the PV is probably for one of the new songs, though. If there was going to be one for Princess it probably would have happened already.

KyAaaH!~ Well.. I will take all the blame on Kamijo's part! Unleash your anger upon me & not him!
..Yes, you may by the princess. I shall be one of Kamijo the evil vampire's many minions/slaves, that is secretly in love with him & would do anything for him.. even though he doesn't even know my name.

[creative_kiss]

I know they wear those epic boots; I love them! I just figured Hizaki didn't because I'm pretty sure he already trips over his dress as it is; don't need to put him in platform boots, haha :) I'm actually pretty good with heels, but I don't know if I could hadn't standing in them continuous for 5 hours or whatever.

I never buy singles because I just cannot afford it. So expensive for a song or two, ya know? *sigh* I know it will be for a new song... If not "Princess" maybe... "Ai to Kanashimi no Nocturne"? That seems to be popular. Or... "The Umbrella of Glass". Whatever, guess we'll just wait. We should make a petition for "Princess" though. I mean, I like writing stories, I could even write the storyline for them! Hahaha, and while I'm thinking about this, I'm laughing because technically I'm already writing a story for this. A fan fiction (that isn't yaoi, go figure) - five chapters up already. I should just send them what I've written so far.

It's not anger. It's devastation! I'll never look at them the same way again... :( What do I doooo?!

Yay! Except, I can't decide who I'd want to fall in love with. Hmm... You can have Kamijo. He makes me saaaddd.

[rosen_schwert]

Mmhmm. You can pretty much wear whatever you want if cosplaying Hizaki with a long dress. I'm also pretty good with heels, but standing around in them continous for sooo many hours was another thing altogether. Ouch.

I was scared away from fanfiction because my ex-best friend forced me to read one she wrote like 4 years ago. It involved Kamijo & Juka.. & that WAS yaoi. Oh god. x_x But if yours definitely isn't yaoi, perhaps I will dare to take a look. >_>

You could... view it was a one off, & hope that it never happens again. There was no manhandling of the Teru here. Only kind of sort of Hizaki, when Kamijo bit his neck & pretended to drink from his during 'Shout & Bites'. I don't know if he ACTUALLY bit him, because the view wasn't too good from where I was stood.

How about Yuki, your knight & sworn protector. Or Masashi; the broody younger brother of Kamijo who is forced to live in his shadow. Or Teru, the peasant messenger boy that delivers mail to the castle in exchange for bread & cheese to feed his family.
..I'M FEELING CREATIVE. WHERE IS MY PEN.
