Congratulations Versailles.

inb4 JASMEEN YUU CANT BE REPLACED

[Takatori Reiji 8]

I'm really glad he was made official member, from what I experienced of London live and what I read from all the other live reports he really deserves this. And his looks fit the band as well imo ;D

[LIDL 692]

congrats for having full time Bassist.

Looking forward to see him on CD booklet xD

and..., desert apple, a NOM instrumental it seems~

[Licio123 181]

I am glad Masashi is offcial, liked him a lot when I saw them live here in Brazil. Can't wait for the single, it feels like Jubilee was released 2 years ago XD

[Heartless_kiD 1]

[Trombe 22025]

My best wishes to Masashi! I can't wait to hear the new single and to see him in the booklet XD

And people who's attended the concert say HIZAKI wears red again and Masashi's colours are black and red.

Still can't get over "Desert Apple." What a random title, haha.

And congrats to Masashi! I was kinda hoping he'd finally become an official member.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

I'm so happy for Masashi! Finally he can step out of the shadows, so to speak.

[anieresus 270]

Finally! Masashi is an incredible bassist and he proved that live. I'm glad they're a Quintet again.

Also, looking forward to their new single, with each release they just get better and better and, I'm really anxious to listen to Desert Apple, I really hope it's as amazing as Silent Knight!

Not gonna be bitchin' about he can't be as good as Jasmine You. True, he can't be replaced, he was unique. Every musician is unique, and it was a true loss for the VK world when he passed away. I've been to a concert of theirs and saw Masashi play. I thought he was very talented and really fitted the band, so I don't mind him filling in the bass position. I prefer him over any other bassist that could've taken that position, he's the best choice. Ofcourse Jasmine would still be pick number 1, and I will always see Jasmine as Versailles' bassist, but I'll welcome Masashi as much as every other band member.

And YAY! The rumors were true! <3 A new single!! Lol @ the title. Even more lol @ Desert Apple. What kinda name is that?!

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Thrilled to hear the title of the new single. It's... not what I was expecting, but I do like it. Desert Apple is a very weird title as well, but I bet it's going to be fucking amazing.

As far as Masashi goes: Good for him, he really deserves it after all he's done... Of course, Jasmine will never be "replaced" so to say.

[Karma’s Hat 3107]

Well about time, even if barely care about them anymore. Though i'm exited about the new single, as i really wonder which direction they are going to take.

[tosinn 3]

Congratulations to them! And hopefully their upcoming single will be as good as their ASCENDEAD MASTER single.

[anieresus 270]

Warner Music Japan uploaded a CM containing the Introduction for DESTINY-The Lovers- in which you can see the 5 members with their new costumes. I'm so fucking anxious right now.

[LIDL 692]

Oh Whoa! Any links?

[anieresus 270]

Yeah sorry Chianti I forgot to post it because of the excitement.

It reminds me of a Super Smash bros. song or something LOL

[LIDL 692]

wah... this sounds really elegant.

And Masashi is a tall guy (or is it his boots?)

[anieresus 270]

Well from what I noticed at the live he really is tall. (:

[Zeus 7997]

So the song playing in the background was part of DESTINY-The Lovers- or Desert Apple or neither?

Either way, they are one of the few bands I can truly say got better over time.

[anieresus 270]

It's either the beginning of DESTINY-The Lovers/ or an instrumental track like DESCENDANT OF THE ROSE or COVENANT etc.

[Champ213 1858]

Kamijo looks like a pimp, lol.

I kinda like Masashi in there. Conceptually, he seems to make a good dark prince/villain kind of type, which is pretty cool.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

Sounds really pretty, almost Lareine like, I'm hoping that if it's a ballad, it won't be a ballad like Serenade, I don't need another tear-jerker, I want another Prince, and I hope Desert Apple will be another Silent Knight, I'm really excited... I'm thinking about preordering it ASAP.

[fitear1590 2414]

Wow, thanks for getting to this video so fast jono!

AND IT TOTALLY DOES sound like super smash bros by the end.

Not a bad thing at all, might I add.

I approve!
