    I'd like to ask AltermaliceNero to use the MultiQuote option in the future. It'll let you reply to multiple quotes in one post, that avoids double/triple posts.

     

    Also: I guess it's inevitable that people are comparing the two bands. What did you expect with 4/5 members coming from Versailles and them playing pretty much the same style that Versailles played too?

    Sorry i wasn't aware of it thanks.

    Yeah, Jupiter sounds quite much like Versailles. Not 100%, but almost close.

     

    However, my main problem with Jupiter is the monotonous sound metal music tends to be bound to. I mean I am tired of the same old riffs I hear everytime in Versailles and other metal bands. There is nothing new about Jupiter apart from the new vocalist. Hizaki should blend more musical styles, take something from the 90's Visual Kei sound, etc etc etc.

     

    Sorry about my poor English. I cannot express myself properly...

    I agree with you and i love old school visual kei too ^^

    Sorry, I said it wrong. I just don't understand why is it essential to compare them, meaning when they'll release something, everyone will be like "Yeah this CD from Versailles was waaaay better than this" or "I prefer this release than any of Versailles' ". They're trying so hard to tell us they want to go from 0, that they were jailed in the concept of Versailles. Can't people just give them a chance as a brand new band that wants to show us how much they can do, not how much they can do compared to Versailles ?

    If they wanted to be free from the concepts of Versailles why does the music sound almost exactly the same? anyway all I'm saying is you can get upset about it if you want but people naturally will compare them to Versailles there's no denying that especially when they sound so much alike.

    Thanks, I totally agree to you.

     

    Also, why should they want to have a "new" Verailles if Versailles isn't even disbanded?

    Versailles and Jupiter are two projects and they excist both. 

    It seriously unnecessary to compare them because you can't comepare a person with him / herself.

    The only thing that is different is the cencept and the vocalists but isn't that what makes these two bands two unique projects?

     

    So to conclude: I will support these guys no matter what they do.

     

    Oh, and I think Kamijo has the perfect voice for Versailles. It wouldn't have had the 'Lestat' feeling that belonged in the story Versailles is based on if there wouldn't be Kamijo. (Btw don't forget that in a symphonic metal band vocalists often don't have powerful voices, often even really soft ones like Kamijo has one.)

    Its totally necessary to compare the two bands especially when they're the same band except for a different band name and vocalist how can you not expect people to compare the two bands?

    So.

    I'll sum it up.

    IMO, we have to stop seeing it as a "Versailles with new vocalist." We need to see 4 awesome musicians that found each other, know how to play with each other. They ceased activity as their previous band, and needed to stay close for their future activities. Now, they needed a vocalist, they found one. Why do we keep comparing him to Kamijo ? It's not like he succeeds to him. Jupiter is a freaking new band. Get over the fact that 80% of the band is from Versailles.

    Also, as all of you, I heard the Versailles-ish sound here. Let's all remember that HIZAKI was in studio with the rest of Jupiter the VERY NEXT DAY of the live @ NHK Hall, so yeah, of course, he composed these songs during Versailles. This is why I will, and lots of you should too, wait for the full album they are preparing to make a musical opinion on what they aim for. They were very clear in their interview about the fact that Versailles' concept actually kept them closed in a story they didn't want to continue. They were also clear about the fact that they want to be free in Jupiter, and that each member wants to make his songs in the band, without any "story".

    Now, about vocals. They were also saying that ZIN has trained a lot since he was chosen to be the Vocalist. I think it's an opportunity for him to go major and to be with such musicians, that's why I think he'll put all his soul into his work. And if he's asked to scream, or growl, he'll fucking train for it until he can make it. I'm definitely certain about it.

    So I'll just stay on a big "Wait & See" even though I already really like the preview.

     

    Sorry but it is Versailles with an new vocalist essentially there's no denying that fact dude

    So as KAMIJO. 

    Hope he will never try to sing power metal, or any kind of metal again, ew. 

    Cant really tell by just one minute but this other guy seems to be more versatile and that is a nice thing. 

    But the music still the same so, for now, I'll pass. 

     

    Why do people think kamijo can't be a metal vocalist at all? because he doesn't sound like any other metal vocalist? i think he did a dam good job at it with god palace, aristocrat's symphony, the love from a dead orchestra, etc. anyway i like zin's vocals although this is some of the worst I've heard from the others music-wise. 

     

    This sounds like a lazy form of pop metal i just don't think they care anymore and i know and have heard them do much better so i don't know what's up.

    JPopAsia reported that they're working on an English language album though, like coming out this year. Like they're rerecording old songs and writing new ones in English to be released worldwide. Idk how accurate it is though, and the world tour isn't coming to America so idgaf. I'm still totally let down by this.

     

    If they only release a ten track album full of old songs converted into English i would have lost any respect i had for this band, pathetic!

    I don't think he is a terrible singer, I mean in a different style of music he would be fine. However in this style of power metal, especially their later releases he just didn't have that power in his voice that this kinda music needs. Yeah Rhapsody of Fire is cheesy cornball band but at least Fabio fucking owns it like a boss, even if he's going on about slaying dragons and boning princesses he still just pushes that song making it an epic bombastic experience. Kamijo those moments in a song were it really need that OOMPH just ended up falling flat. I think he was just out of his element and will probably do fine in softer rock music.

    I honestly think aristocrat's symphony and god palace were fantastic vocal performances by kamijo though and in my opinion his best.

    He wasn't so bad, but in Lyrical sympathy or in Noble he was singing like... oh, god, my english... as he had a lump in his throat. Hope you get whatta mean... xD Then this maniere disappeared and was good. 

    are you kidding? i adored his voice more than ever on those releases and showcases his talents best in my opinion... i don't understand why he stopped singing that way.
