Dead Orchestra could be a good name

Is that some sort of a joke or inside thing of the band that I don't know of..?

Matthias · **Reply #121 on:** September 01, 2008, 07:51:49 AM

That's some part of the title of one of their songs.

EDIT: And just in case you haven't heard it yet, here's a sligthly longer version of the hide memorial concert than the one I have seen till now:

new band name and new song
Versailles is going to be temporarily called Versailles Philharmonic Quintet during its activities in the United States. The news has been officially announced at midnight at their official site (you can read the full announcement in Japanese here).

In addition, a brand new track has been distributed for free at the twoman concert with chariots in Osaka. The song is titled PRINCE and has been composed by HIZAKI and KAMIJO.

You can download the full song at Versailles' official website:

So I'm curious if that's only the name during their US stint (how it sounds to me) or if they decide to keep it.

Woohoo, that's for the news, matthias!

I hope they won't keep the name....it's WAY too long >_<

Okay, and I can listen to the song...but how is it downloadable? x.x;

Hurley · **Reply #128 on:** September 13, 2008, 08:13:22 PM

Haha, the crappiest band name ever

And I'm sure it's kinda meant to be crappy since it seems to be only temporary

Yzaleen · **Reply #129 on:** September 13, 2008, 10:10:12 PM

temporary is good !!!
They need to find something else....

and you can download PRINCE over there : http://marumusic.com/free_download_1.php

Matthias · **Reply #130 on:** September 15, 2008, 12:53:02 PM

Prince sounds okay for me, but for now I don't think it's one of their best songs. *Let Teru write more songs *g**

BTW:
Versailles announced three releases for October:
►Versailles' first photobook: featuring photos from Versailles' first European and American tour. It will cost 4,000 yen and will be released in early October. An overseas release is also planned.
►NOBLE (second press): due October 22, it will come with the bonus track "PRINCE". However, the bonus DVD and deluxe package of the first press won't be included.
►Lyrical Sympathy (second press): due October 22, it will come without postcard and but will have a different cover art.

Thanks for that

From the message on that page (lol at BEARUTIFUL ROSES mispelling

), Versailles Philharmonic Quintet doesn't sound very temporary

I wonder if they'll just adopt that for the rest of the world.

Edit: Just from one listen, Prince sounds really good to me. I love the guiter solo section.

Maybe. But honestly I really don't mind that much, at first I wasn't that happy about the name (and still could think about a lot of better names *g*), but at the end of the day it's only a name and Versailles is still in it, so I'm just gonna call them Versailles *g*

Versailles Shashinshu Philharmonc Quintet arrived today and there are some really cool pics in it, also from the munich concert and even two small pics of the meet & greet but you can't see me damn it

On 10th december their new single Prince & Princess is gonna be released and there are different versions for each bandmember, so I guess I'm gonna order the Teru one.

Posting it here, as some of you may know Jasmine You passed away last year and for the upcoming tour they recruited Masashi as their new (support) man at the bass. Here a link to his blog: http://ameblo.jp/masashix/

It seems like Versailles has a new bass player!
^_^
His name is Masashi.

Although they have a new bassist, Jasmine You will always be a part of the band, as the group say that Versailles will consist of 6 members instead of the original 5 in Jasmine You’s memory.

sounds familiar, doubt they'll do any more "hide" on Jasmine You" than that though
