Versailles - Antique in the Future (Chateau De Versailles DVD)

[TheStormferret]

i find it funny that almost everyone commented on the fact that kamijo flipped the fans off he said " I long for you pointing the sword in the direction of the moon" when he showed the middle finger ... common people whats the point in listening to a band if you dont understand what they are saying

[HydraStar01]

i love versailles :DD but i wonder why did kamijo rise that middle finger O.o i mean, if he was a noble vampire he should respect his fans more unless he didn't mean something offensive... i really wish to know why he did that ;-; maybe it means something else in japanese xD

[alessa0392]

XD i never thought i would like this... but God ._. they´re so fucking good D: i admit it, i LOVE THEM (L)

[zoshii1]

2:25 " Welcome to our piece of cake!" hahaha :P

[FLHBBV]

They are F***KING awesome~~~!!! Kamijo-sama can flip whatever whichever finger to me. I DON'T CARE!!!! You are the best and most beautiful person in the world!!!!

[RukiiiLover]

1 dislike? WTF?! Who was the stupid? :C

[weiss99]

@RukiiiLover Go get your sniper rifle. I'll get my machine gun to track down that idiot. LOL.

[nagarauchiha]

loverrrrrrrrrr

[arodar98]

2:22 XD ''fuck you''

[FLHBBV]

@arodar98 That's super cool right?!! XD XD XD I love it!!! ^o^

[no1q2w3e]

Acho q ninguem percebeu que o kamijo mostra o dedo pra plateia kkkkk Versailles 4ever<3

[HanatielHawk]

2:25 That is one difficult guitar solo that Hizaki is playing!

I love it!

[Tr3m0]

I love Versailles and it's for me one of the best Bands!

This is for sure the best Band at Rhythm-Change and Stuff!

Versailles for ever :))

oh, by the way..

@2:21 ... :D :D

[DiabolicHeart]

I think the middle finger was quite a good addition, since they are playing heavy metal anyway..

Besides, he's a good cheeky vampire

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

@DiabolicHeart

I agree. I mean many metal musicians in the States refer to their audiences as "crazy motherfuckers". Is it mean they are being disrespectful? That's like calling your own buddy "motherfucker". That is different way of showing bonding. I think showing middle finger in metal concert shouldn't be viewed in such negative perspective.

[FlyingBugels]

Where are all the guitar cords? o:

[Paulelele]

@FlyingBugels They use wireless transmitters, with dresses like those I'm sure they can easily hide one underneath xD

[FlyingBugels]

@Paulelele Oh! I never even thought of thattttt~ Haha. My bad.

[Saiyushu]

On guitar, HIZAKI!

[keixlemon]

Meat Loaf has passed the torch.

[williamindragunawan]

you know what I think? The keyboardist is missing. But yet, it plays a very important role. Is he/she not part of the band?

[weiss99]

@williamindragunawan That's also the usual thing that I notice in most Japanese music. Most of them are just behind-the-scene sessionists, but very, very, very brilliant ones, nevertheless...

[Paulelele]

@weiss99 IIRC, in an interview Kamijo said that he writes the piano parts himself using a music sequencer, and programs the piano that way. I'm not sure if on their albums they get actual people to play the piano parts though, or they just program the piano.

[weiss99]

@Paulelele Well, that's a good trivia my friend! :) Nice one.

Can you please provide us the link so we can check it as well?

[Paulelele]

@williamindragunawan I agree, I think keyboards play such an important part in many of their songs that they should get a keyboardist. I feels weird sometimes listening to such beautiful piano parts, yet not being able to put a face to all of that.

[weiss99]

@Paulelele Once, I thought that they had a keyboardist as I was imagining them being like Galneryus... Don't get me wrong with this one, I'm not comparing the two bands, I know that they have different styles of their own. It's just that in my opinion, it's much better if they have a keyboardist as well.

Well... It's still up to them though. They're still great no matter what. :)

[matakame]

I didn't even notice the hand gesture! Look, Versailles is all about elegance and being noble, and raising fingers delicately just like what Hizaki, Teru and Kamijo always does is so basic. It's being in consistent with the character of somebody who longs for something and sees it far away (which is so Kamijo and the whole rose story). Get it?

[ckrimsonkid]

jasmine seem so lively in this song compared other ones, the way he moves around is pretty cool

[datto240z]

He is not directing to the finger to the fans...it must be related to the lyrics...he wouldn't do that...fuckers

[UchihaBrotherz]

Yuki is so hot

[CherrySakuraSubs]

just for all the ppl that are wondering about the meaning of the middle finger in Japan:

in Japanese signlanguage the middle finger when the palm is facing outwards stands for the kanji 'se' which can be translated to 'we'

but in Kamijo's case I just think he's too busy to even notice the gestures he makes, because it must be damn hard to remember all those lyrics

[HankyuKun]

@CherrySakuraSubs also the line he's singing when he does it is rebellious, thusly it's appropriate for him to throw a one-fingered salute. It's not at the fans, it's him gestureing appropriately to what he's singing. Even if we was flipping the fans the bird, if you REALLY love the band, you won't be so hyper-sensitive to it, it's not like he's Trent Reznor going on record as hating his fans. Get over it.

[GriznagPernicious]

haha he flips em over @ 2:22 :P

[karlossapre]

[ajaj704]

At 4:46 Jasmine dances across the stage, it's so cute!

R.I.P. Jasmine, you will forever live on in your music!

[Thefilthyblood]

Lol, Kamijo's ROFLCOPTER is going SOI SOI SOI at 0:14.

I fucking love Versailles, they're just outstanding.

[Ikkin93107]

LOL!! Kamijo gives the finger @ 2:22 xD!! Poor audience XD

[vanillaeiri]

Versailles is something else beacause 1) they're not only gorgeous - but 2) They sound sooooo awesome LIVE. there are so many v-kei bands out there who looks good, but I wouldn't DARE watch them live. THEY ROCK~!

[PaigeClarkSavage]

In America, the middle finger doesnt really carry as much insult as it did many years ago. Its more of a joking thing now. Although I still use it when people piss me off on the roads :P

[kuroshitsujidarkart]

i love his little dance at 00:35 XD lol.

[DiabolicHeart]

Why did Kamijo stick up the middle finger in 2:22?

[foxinsocks506]

Amazing band, I really hope I can see them during their world tour next year.

Just another note on the finger though, I've noticed he actually does that quite often. To me, it doesn't seem like he means it the same way an American would, for instance, though I am curious as to any other possible meanings for it. Does the middle finger symbolize something different in Japan? Or is that move just a little quirk of Kamijo's?

Amazing song, nonetheless =)

[xNexasx]

Kamijo sounds like he's having fun XDDD

[DoktaTenma]

AWESOME

[jilliane23]

nice song!

love versailles

[vergil1989]

Can the music genre of Versailles be considered as a mixture of Neo Classical and Metal? I'm just curious... =)

[uruhahayay]

yep, versailles is mostly metal. there are neoclassical elements in some songs. they are a mix of symphonic/neoclassical/power metal

[PersistentResistance]

HeavyMetal Beethoven.

[Ares6106]

@PersistentResistance It's called: Symphonyc Metal :-)

[policiaX]

@PersistentResistance This is not classical metal you know

[raysoulhale]

It is Neo-Classical Metal :D

[vergil1989]

well, he died quite suddenly actually which left a lot of people dumbfounded. He was already ill from a certain illness and decided to take a break from the music scene.but he died instead... so sad...

[nofaceInvictus]

so good !! theyre unbeivable i want to see them live

[Littlefire100]

Simply amazing.

[KibaInuzuka2591]

the music kinda reminds me of "Sadistic Desire" by X Japan, I'm new to Versailles, and I really like them :D and I'm sorry to hear the passing of the Jasmine You :( RIP

[lzy257]

jasmine you death is so sudden....

RIP

[gabi326jjk]

I did not see jasmine you's death coming... rest in peace man

[JeannyLuo]

Well..i got the same feeling when i first saw it, but this meaning only applies in the U.S...in Japan, the finger actually symbolizes a completely different meaning ( even though im not sure what it symbolizes^^)...i dont think that the noble Kamijo would do something like that to the American fans ^_^

[rosemariofficial]

he did do it to his American fans.. in October... I was there, haha..

it's all good though, it's all part of his character; he's the vampire brat prince, like Lestat..

I really miss his Lareine personalities...

[JeannyLuo]

Seriously? Hmm..I didnt went to that show...but I guess people can accept that during different occasions (as long as they are not in a bad mood lolz)...Yeah i agree to that and Lareine was definitely awesome in a distinct way from Versailles...

[ILMC117]

Oh wow. I didn't even notice the finger until now, haha. But yeah, maybe it does have a different meaning or something. I don't think he would do it on purpose...

[KainMcDonnal]

His pose during doing that finger doesn't look like he meant it that way actually xD

[dwoverdose52]

@JeannyLuo Ive been to shows where the band calls the fans "fucking assholes" its in the spirit of the shows so I'd hardly be offended by it lol.

[pivotair]

@JeannyLuo Why whould they be in bad mood on a Versailles concert? Weird dude...

[Yumypop]

@JeannyLuo, yeah I don't think he means "fuck you" or something, I every country almost every hand gesture means someting else, like in my country the sign with your index finger and your middle finger strait up means "peace" but in the UK it means "fuck you"

[foxinsocks506]

@Yumypop It actually depends on how you old your hand. If your palm is facing outwards with your first two fingers like a V, then it means peace in both the US and the UK (and perhaps other places as well, I don't know). But if your palm is facing inwards and you give the same gesture, then that's "f*ck you," like the middle finger in the US. The origin deals with cutting enemy archer's fingers off during war times, but as far as I know it mostly exists in the west, not so much the east.

[Yumypop]

@foxinsocks506 yeah, I read an article about that in a history magazine, it was a habit of the French to cut the fingers of a English archer so he couldn't use his hands to hold a longbow. So the V sign facing inwards was a kind of challange sign like "come and get my fingers".

[vanillaeiri]

@JeannyLuo

In japan, the finger only symbolizes a "rock band personality". They all give fingers. Even Gakuto-sama does~ harharhar~ They think it's cool~ XD

[Hideisalegend]

@JeannyLuo it also applies in france ^^

[ancafelover100]

@FFchibi all j-rock people do the midle finger thing its natural and i like them doing it

[BillyHguitar]

@FFchibi i thing him giving the finger and being an overall git is pretty great tbh haha. i love that whole badass rock and roll thing, i mean he is a rock star, as far as im concerned he can do whatever the fuck he wants to lol, how boring would rock be if everyone was calm, he should drive a car into a swiming pool next and smash the stage up XD

[lysetsvokter]

@FFchibi

why disgusting? That's only part of his character, in a good way

[NeoNebula0Katana]

@lysetsvokter Part of his character? I hope not, because that's rude. And I've never seen him do this during a performance before. I think he acts really weird in that DVD. Doing that, yelling at random times . . . was he intoxicated or something?

[lysetsvokter]

@NeoNebula0Katana

why is that rude?? Did I say it in a bad way or something?? Why does he acts weird, maby only you think that. He is normal, and in that dvd he is so awesome, he has so much energy, and he really communicates with his/theirs fans.
