Damn.... that's sad...
I was never really into Versailles because I hated the vocals, but besides that, it's a great band.

R.I.P. Jasmine You. :(

Woa, I don’t really know what to say…… big shock.

I like Versailles, just starting to get into the band and have been listening to Noble a lot over the past few weeks, really good album, so sad for this to happen. I knew he was ill but never expected this.....

RIP Jasmine You

My thoughts and condolences are with his friends and family, the rest of Versailles and fans during this difficult time.

These news are truly saddening. At first I didn't like Versailles, but then the vocals grew on me and now they are in my top 10 for sure! My condolences to the family, friends and fans.

I was only peripherally aware of Versailles for a long time, hadn't got around to exploring them. So I'm a little surprised at how hard this hit me. Good luck to him now, wherever he is.

What? Are you serious? I can't even believe it, I'm just.. shocked, to say the least. I'm sure the tears will start later, but right now I'm just completely dumbfounded. He was very young, wasn't he?

Now, I know I'm the odd one out, but what exactly was he ill with? Do we even know?

Jeez.. I really hope for the best for his family, friends and fans.


GARBAGE DAY!

yesterday morning, about 04.50 AM, when I was still sleeping, I've got an sms from my friend ... she told me this news, but I didn't believe it at first n get back to sleep ... I did NOT believe this news AT ALL ...


Later, at about 07.30 AM, I log in to my facebook and saw most of my friends status saying 'Good bye Jasmine You, R.I.P' ... I asked my friend about this n she said it's from the OHP ...


I was SHOCKED



I've been a fans of Versailles since their debut in 2007, I still can't believe Jasmine has passes away now ...

R.I.P. Jasmine You, Our clan's blood will not stop forever ...

none of your business ...

The rumour is that his cause of death was suicide, and his medical reasons for taking a break for Versailles were down to depression.

I hope it isn't true - not that any cause of death is better than the other, but not suicide - please not that :/

I heard about this band a few months ago and enjoyed their music. So sad to die at such a young age. Life is too short isn't it. RIP

I already liked Jasmine in HGP (Hizaki Grace Project) and later in Versailles.
He was one of my favourites. RIP Jasmine You

I really hope people won't spread rumours like that, that's just disrespectful to the artist.

Hypno
I'll be at the NYC one <3
Would kinda be nice to finally meet you!
Despite the fact its under the most unplesant circumstances. I will be there none the less. Chances are I will be near Roger, or Kuri during the event, if not try calling me.
PM for my cell kk.

Everyone here at Tainted Reality is crushed.
I haven't spoken to anyone one staff that is not truely cushed by the news.
Alot of us, myself included, are still unsure how to handle it.
:/

As for any rumours of suicide, please disregard those rumours. That is a horrid thing, ppl spreading things like that is an absolute disgrace and is utterly disgusting.
No news has been released from the family aside from "He died peacefully with a smile on his face."
Paraphrased that is, I don't remember the exact words.

Also ppl, Jasmine was in another good late 90's VK band called Jakura.
Not a bad band, Im not a huge fan, only got into them when I got ito HGP but they are pretty good.

<3 HearJapan is actually selling MP3's of theirs under the label Marder Suitcase. You can go to their site and get a song for 100 yen, check em out, not a bad band. If you don't wanna shell out, YT is another way to give em a listen.


 He lives on with each smile that his music brings to each childs and adults face
