Our clan blood will not stop forever

WARNING: LONG POST. VERY LONG POST.

I was searching for my thumbdrive with my blanket around my neck. I initially refused to climb out of my warm and comforting bed, but i've decided to be nice and find pictures for all of you. But all the pictures are in my thumbdrive. So see, i'm nice. Contrary to what others were saying.

Anyway, i was so bored just now that i went to search the long and short about Versailles. A very nice band in which i lost all their songs when i reformatted my desktop.

I love one of their songs, "The Revenant Choir". Revenant means a dead person returning from death. In this song, it refers to vampires.

This is Versailles. I thought all of them looks HAWT!!! Or at least, most of them though.

Kamijo

I've not found any web version of the story behind this song, "The Revenant Choir". So the next best bet is to watch the video and lyrics until i can memorize their every twitch of eyebrows.

Aristocrats beautifully attired in a world filled with the smell of roses
There lived two clans...
One who believed that death brings everlasting happiness.
The others seek eternal life.
One day both dreams become
reality, the others will never be destroyed.
They were forced to live in loneliness like a never ending punishment.

June 2007.
The others' time had come.
Descendants of the rose appeared.
With their meeting, the memories of that day came flooding back.
And.. the story begins... "

I'm proud of them.
Pleasure like fear.
It's a night when the moon laughs at lover.
The time has came for you.
I will resurge and shouts and bites.
Stay away! Do you want to go with me?

They called it...
"The red carpet day"
The floor covered by delicious looking roses.
The time has came for me.
I will resurge. No control!
Poured crimson adomiration into...

Our clan's blood will not stop forever.
If you wish, I would become a rose.
Our clan's blood is a lifetime lover.
Stay, choir of sorrow and pains.

My dearest descendant,Please stab my belly.
Oh so again
Please stab my heart.
The time has came for me.
I will resurge. No control!
Poured crimson adomiration into Holy Grail.

Our clan's blood will not stop forever.
If you wish, I would become a rose.
Our clan's blood is a lifetime lover.
Stay, choir of sorrow and pains.

Kioku no naka no akai chi wo bara ni kaete ita
Hibiku - Her shout and Choir

Our clan's blood will not stop forever.
If you wish, I would become a rose.
Crimson adomiration into Holy Grail.
Stay, choir of sorrow and pains.

Kioku no naka no akai chi wo bara ni kaete ita
Hibiku - Her shout and Choir

The time has came for us.
Long time sleep passed.
The world turns in hand of descendant of the rose.
Our clan's blood will not stop forever.
Stay,choir of sorrow and pains.
Our clan's blood is a lifetime lover.
Without you, would be gone
Far away...

The descendants joined their ansectors in eternity of loneliness. She was the one that believed in death.

Alright. That was the lyrics. So the story of this song goes somehow what like this.

There's two clans. One believed in everlasting life and the other believed in death. And Kamijo was supposedly in one clan, which believed in everlasting life. And the others in the other clan, who believed in death. And so, the people who believed in death all wanted to kill Kamijo. But in the end, they realized they he was also part of them.

As much as i love this song, i got to talk about this awesome band. If you have heard the song, you would have known that they belong to symphonic metal/rock, speed metal/rock and hard metal/rock.

Look at Hizaki fingers. Although i'm not a electric guitarist and therefore i do not know the name of that technique, but i do know that not a lot of bands can do this. Not even a lot of Jrock bands can achieve that.

Verdict? He's an awesome guitarist.

Normally i would have done a brief introduction of the band in front. But i was too captivated by the song and the meaning that i had forgotten.

Anyway, here goes.

The concept of Versailles “The absolute Youshikibi (beauty of form) sound and extremes of aestheticism” came out in Autumn 2006 and the band on May 2007. Versailles is also a city in France, therefore their appearance lean heavily towards aristocratic French.

Their members were actually were all quite renowned figures in the Visual Kei scene. The vocalist were once part of Malice Mizer. HELLO. IT'S MALICE MIZER, YOU KNOW!!!! MALICE MIZER!!!

And don't you think their outfit fits their songs very well?

Alright. I think i should stop talking about Versailles. Lest you guys think that they are my favourite band. Though they are wonderful and awesome, but i thought i should have stood alongside with my all time favourite, 12012!!!

But high chance is that i might add Versailles to the same ranking as 12012 on my personal favourite list.

Anyway, i wasn't listening to a lot of Visual Kei Jrock songs lately. Though i still hear a little here and there. Vidolls, 12012, Versailles are the few i kept on listening to. But i mainly listened to Xuan's demo nowadays. It wasn't good, but i still listened. =X

YES. To hypnotize all of you to live my favourite band, 12012, here are some pictures of them.

I realized that i did not have a lot of their group photos. Most of my photos were Tooru and Tooru alone with an occasional duo photo with Wataru. Or around 5 photos of Wataru alone. The rest of the band? Don't even ask.

Yes. This is Wataru. Why is he doing that in winter on the road WITHOUT shoes?

Doesn't Wataru looks very Final Fantasy over here? I think he does. ^^

Since i'm putting Wataru's picture. Might as well put another one.

Before you think the one i like in 12012 is Wataru, let me put my lappie's background for all of you.

TOORU!! I love drummers. (:

If i have a dog, the male one would be called Raido. Female would be Heart. Why? Because that's the names for Tooru and Wataru's dogs.

P/s: I insist i have NO weird obsession over vampires.

P/p/s: Alright, maybe just a little.

P/p/p/s: Fine. Me IS vampire. *ssshhh, that's a secret between you and me*

P/p/p/p/s: I think i'm burning my lap up from the heat from my lappie. And it's already 6am now. In another 3 hours, the guy that is fixing my lappie would be here. So should i catch some sleep or just laze around while waiting for him?

P/p/p/p/p/s: I guess i got to sleep, Dada just woke up and scolded me.
