But what about EMPEROR tho?
Will be cool to hear them play these old songs again.
Insta-buy for me. I am surprised Princess isn’t on this one, I thought they did play it during their NOBLE era
Hm wonder if these are re-recodings? Sometimes they like to throw in that stuff with notice O-o
it’s a live CD, so technically yeah
Oh its a live cd. My bad ![]()
They sound as great as ever. Wish we could get a new album and MV’s again.
Man, they sound and look stellar!
One of my favorite Versailles tunes! They’ve still got that magic.
Yuki will pause activities in 2024 to focus on recovery as he has been battling chronic dystonia since 2020.
Crazy since dystonia can ruin your method and absolutely kill your playing career regardless of instrument and it’s nearly impossible to come back from.
Wow that’s really sad to hear - Dystonia is wildly uncomfortable at best and totally debilitating at worst. I hope he feels well enough to return eventually, but moreover I hope he can make it through this year without anything getting worse for him.
Damn, I hope he’ll be alright…
On a happier note, the band announced a new nationwide tour, where they’ll play NEW SONGS!
Versailles Live Tour “Varoque” 2023 〜華麗なる様式美の逆鱗〜
It was announced today via Versailles’ official website that their drummer Yuki will be pausing activities in 2024 due to difficulties from dystonia, a movement disorder he was diagnosed with in February 2020. The four remaining members will continue activities during this time though Yuki plans to return in the future.
Really sad news to hear and I hope all goes well with treatment. Matenrou Opera drummer Yu retired in 2018 due to the same condition.

Unfortunate News…
Legit one of the best drummers in the scene. I hope he recovers and quickly.
"As various things piled up,
it became painful and painful, and
I thought that I couldn’t do my best with the band with the same motivation as the members.
But I feel sorry for the members who have been with me for so long. Sorry to all the fans."
No need to be sorry
"And when I reached my limit, I told the members.
The members told me, “I can’t think of anyone other than YUKI, so I’ll be waiting for you.”"
Mixed feelings on this. Not sure how accurate the translations are but it feels like they are sort of putting pressure on Yuki to recover otherwise Versailles can’t continue
