    not only that, they also say they don't like his voice and should stay away in any type of metal

     

    That's what I mean. Which is weird because a softer voice is common in symphonic metal, lol.

     

    Also I hate how fans are 'taking sides' now. Like, either Jupiter or Kamijo.

    That's just dumb since their working together anyway.

    Which members exactly?^-^

     

    I thought Kamijo was 40 or a bit more.

     

    He just said he will be working with Lareine and Versailles members but on Twitter he said he met up with Machi and Emiru as far as I remember so I would guess they could have to do with it. (:

     

    Haha, I don't think he looks thaaat old lol. xD

    I think Kamijo will release very romantic stuff...

     

    The photo on his website reminds me very much of Baiser and Yukari.^^

     

    By the way, does anybody know how old Kamijo is?

     

    I think so too, since he's working with his Lareine members again, too.

     

    Also since he's born in 1975 from what we know / are able to find out, it is his 38th birthday in 2013.

     

    is it his 2013-th birthday than?

     

    In what way do you mean that?

    It's the 2013 birthday event and his 38th birthday. (:

    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.

     

     

    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.)

    I don't think anyone said ZIN is trying to be like Kamijo.

     

    Also what do you expect, Jupiter is pretty much a Versailles reboot with a new singer so of course people are going to compare him to Kamijo. Though right now it's silly since we only heard not even a few seconds of his singing but it's going to happen and it's going to happen forever and ever as long as Jupiter exists with the former Versailles line up. 

     

    But that is what I've read (not only here but also on YT etc.).

     

    And Versailles still excists. Jupiter is a side band and so is Kamijo's solo project. They want to try out something new and they shouldn't be blamed for that. And how does the comparism has anything to do with their line-up? Of course, we know these four as Versailles members, but if they can play well together then it's just good. We should more see it like this: Versailles - with Kamijo and Jupiter - with Zin. No problem. This is a way they can have songs in different styles. And Kamijo can try out more with his voice that is more his Lareine style and that probably wouldn't fit with Versailles. They still are all connected. How is there a problem? 

     

    And really, if anyone here doesn't like Kamijo - why did they even click on the thread?

    I actually liked Justice a bit more but maybe that is because I've already listened to Gloria and Innovational Symphonia too much, I don't know. Anyway, the album is great! I loved the two singles from which some songs are on the new album (those mentioned before of course) so of course I love the new songs as well! MO never disappoints. The only thing I can complain about is that I miss my favorite MO song, あの日のままの世界線に向かって, I was hoping it would be on the album but sadly it isn't. But still, I love every MO song and there's nothing bad I could think of!

    I agree with Gizorz and ゆうぎ. 

    The Japanese are maybe used to see people walking around in whoknowswhat kei - but that's just in areas like Tokyo and maybe some bigger cities. 

    If anyone in Japan loves Gazette for example, learns guitar and then goes telling their grandma 'hey, gran, I want to form a band and go Visual Kei. What do think?' - She'd problably ask what that is (-> because it's not her time!) and then ask a bunch of questions and to be said in the worst possible situation not accept her grandchild going to form a band. Because older people are often still very conservative and don't want to accept things like guys walking around in dresses.

    But I don't think that's actually that different here. People here think 'wth is that?' when you start talking about some VK band - I don't think it's that different in Japan, not everyone there likes VK, okay? It's also not mainstream there. We're a community for those 'few' of us who like it, okay, but we're not a majority. 

    In Japan, VK and other styles are for young people sometimes really something to get out of their tiring daily routine. Because it is exhausting to have school work every day. And as everyone says it's a lot more than what students have to do here. Their parents tell them 'do this, that, oh, and there's that, why don't you start learning this?'. That's why they come up with things like that. Because they like to have something that's their creation and nothing someone forces them to do.
