VERSAILLES JAPAN VISUAL KEI CONCERT, TOKYO JCB HALL, APRIL 2010. CUTE JAPANESE GOTHIC & SWEET LOLITAS, ELEGANT GOTH ARISTOCRAT BOYS, COSPLAYERS.
We are VERSAILLES! I first saw the aristocratic Visual Kei band perform in Shibuya in 2008, in the glorious purple days of Jasmine You. Yukiro has seen them multiple times, most recently at V-Rock (read his review here). But we can never get enough of Versailles Philharmonic Quintet… so we headed to Tokyo’s JCB Hall on April 30th for yet another live. (How cute is the Hizaki cosplayer?)
This, my friends, is why I had to buy a new camera (a Canon Powershot S9). The quality of my old Sony Cybershot has simply become unacceptable. You’ll have to wait a little longer for better pics of these new (used) clothes…
Lolita dress: Alice and the Pirates, from Closet Child Shinjuku
Lacy short cardigan: Moi-meme-Moitie, from Closet Child Shinjuku
Velvet Alice in Wonderland headband: Spank, from Marui One Shinjuku
Quality issues aside, I was able to get some decent shots of the beautifully dressed EGL and EGA fans outside the concert hall. The girl on the left is wearing nearly the same outfit as me!
Three typical Japanese hand poses: heavy metal, V-fingers, and cutely clutched in front.
This girl made the black veil with blue Mana-sama flowers herself. I adore the Lolita dress on the right.
Sweet meets spooky. Yukiro got a lot of attention and photo requests, as always.
What are your favorite Lolita styles? I’m personally not a fan of pink/Sweet, or black with white lace. But I love the bows and fabric on the middle girl. On the right: a young Versailles fanatic!
Coming up next… more photos and a hilarious video report that involves torturing a clueless Japanese boy, and footage from the Versailles concert itself. You know you want to see it!
Which outfits from the Versailles concert do you like best?
Japanese Word of the Day: Theme park = Yuenchi (learned this word today as we passed by Tokyo Dome)
Song of the Day: Vanished Empire – Ghost (video from DJ Chihiro’s Club Theatric show. Now off to his Gothic Bar Heaven all-night party with my spooky spooks…)

Hm, I’m not terribly enamoured of too many of the outfits here… except the first Hizaki cosplay.
I’m more of an EGL fan myself, with some punk thrown in, but lately, a lot of the outfits I’ve seen are starting to look the same, that is, all unique… in the same way, if you know what I mean. Always the same frills, bows, brown/blonde bleached curls, Alice-inspired, etc.
I like it when people start making up their own shit, really. XD
I know what you mean, for sure… I think you’ll like the Osaka Black Veil goth party photos, coming up. Lots of outside the box creativity there.

Is there a word stronger than jealousy?
Oh my… I want to see Versailles live so badly! I could still kick my ass that I missed them when they were in Germany D:
oh it was so nice seeing them again!! what gracious energy and flawless passion!!
i love la carmina!!!! <3
Lovely! I love your usage of contacts… I still haven’t worn my pink ones out. I need to get used to them. They huuuurt. I’m used to my super-soft disposable contacts. My eyes are fail.

How cute is the Hizaki cosplayer?
The young lady in that bustled red dress is my favorite on this whole page. Her elegant but classic Victorian dress, IMHO, is far superior than what I’ve seen (limited albeit) on Hizaki.
Hahah Hizaki always wears the same thing… :)
I thought so, but was unsure. So, I think the cosplayer is far superior.

ah tiens ! Versailles !!!
merci
ce qui est bien avec le visual K c’est qu’ils n’hésitent pas a mettre le paquet !
heeee.. pas mal du tout.. Louis XIV peut etre fièr de toi :)
Love the blue hearts jumper simply fantabulous!
Youpiiiiiiiiiii <3 o/
cool! ♥ .♥
Oh la la la carmina, always crossing the yellow line in every aspect of your life! Looking fantastic, especially the wild Leeloo-Clementine red hair! Keep the awesome photos coming.
Ohhh lucky lucky! I would LOVE to see Versailles live!
And OMG the girl with the blue roses? Her dress has been my dream dress ever since I saw it last year. Metamorphose’s Princess Crown Bouquet OP in black x blue. I have this in white x pink but it’s not the same. It’s just not the same ;__;
You’re lucky to have the dress – it’s gorgeous! Though I know what you mean about the Mana-sama colors…
Maybe you can make a rose veil like hers!
Put Mana-sama-blue on anything and it’s instant win in my opinion!
