Thank You, Versailles

So, the day has finally come. Versailles' final live will be in a few hours. I am not good with expressing feelings through writing (or words for that matter), and now I feel as though my entire vocabulary has left me. I honestly cannot begin to thank you guys enough.

Early 2011, I became interested in the magical world of JRock. It started out with GACKT, and it kind of escalated from there. Through a Malice Mizer video, I found this:

I watched it, and my initial reaction was basically "meh".

I knew they were talented, and the song sounded really good to me, but it just didn't capture my interest very much. (mind you I was still super obsessed with JPop so that should explain it)

Not too long after, I came across another one of their videos:


Once again I liked it, but I was very skeptical about an eight minute song.

And then, I found it.
The one video that changed everything.
The song that changed my life.
I found it.



After listening to this song it was safe to say I was in love.
This contained everything I valued in a song at the time: a nice voice, short, catchy chorus. It was prefect!

So I did some exploring and fell deeper and deeper into this web of roses, and I loved every minute of it. I became attached to them, learnt their stories, admired them whole-heartedly. I slowly became a part of their fandom, and I was welcomed with open arms.

This fandom....wow. Yes, Roses have arguments and differences and fights and butthurt people, but the fact that we all adore these men so much just makes me so happy. Happy enough to forget just how stupid some people can really be.

Versailles have shown me the true meaning of beauty; they have shown me how to see the beauty that is all around me. They have given me a new interest in roses. I was introduced the Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice. They have also introduced me to many other talented bands/performers. I owe them so much.

They have become my role models. They have inspired me to work harder to achieve my dream. They help me sleep at night. They make my days a lot less sucky.

I can't imagine my life without you.

Yes, I will miss you greatly, but I will not lose faith. You said this is a hiatus, and so that is what I believe. I know you will come back to us one day. I will be patient. And when you do come back, I will welcome you with open arms. I trust in your judgement when it comes to decisions like these, and I know you want what's best for your fans.

So until we meet again, just know that I miss you, I'm thinking of you always, and I love you. I can't wait to see you again. Maybe then I can finally meet you all in person to show you my gratitude? I look forward to the day.

Like I said, I'm not good with words, but
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
for everything.
