VIDEO OF VERSAILLES J-ROCK BAND: LIVE CONCERT IN TOKYO JCB HALL, APRIL 2010. VISUAL KEI GROUP PERFORMANCE, HIZAKI, KAMIJO.
I’m glad you enjoyed my photos of Gothic Lolitas and Aristocrats at the Versailles live. Now, would you like to see exclusive footage of the Versailles concert? Your wish is granted! I uploaded a video here and below…
La Carmina and Yukiro Dravarious report on the Visual Kei concert at Tokyo’s JCB Hall on April 30th, 2010. The video includes…
† Live footage of Teru, Kamijo, Hizaki and Yuki perfoming Princess and other new J-rock songs from Versailles’ Jubilee album. (Sorry about the shakiness; I did my best…)
† Photos of the EGL Gothic Lolitas and Aristocrat fashion outside the venue
† We abuse a Japanese Goth boy! What else is new?
Here are more photos from inside the venue. This is my Japanese Adventure Team; gotta have one in every city. (Just kidding. These are random, confused boys…)
Poor Amiyu got molested by us in the video. Just a day in the life…
Everyone had to pay an extra 500 yen at the door for a drink ticket. I took photos of these boys in front of one of the bars.
More Gothic Lolitas, of all ages and sizes.
How awesome is this: Gackt sent Versailles congratulatory flowers! (I saw the ex-Malice Mizer singer perform last year; you can read my reports here and here, and see a video here.) After the show, we ran into Gothic Prince Ken from the Visual Kei band GPKISM. We went to their concert shortly after; yes, there will be photos and a video…
To recap the video: the Versailles concert was magnificent. A beautiful set draped in roses; the curtains parted, revealing a white-hooded choir. (I thought they were mannequins — no, they were actual singers!) The performance lasted longer than usual, with no opening acts. Everyone had seats, so we could sit in the balcony “like a king and queen” instead of fighting the crowd.
Singer Kamijo didn’t introduce the session bassist, who dressed in black and hid in the shadows. Nobody can replace the departed Jasmine You… but thankfully, the Visual Kei rockers are in great spirits. Hizaki spun around; Kamijo danced in a hot, tight black outfit. In the end, the four sat together on stage and then bowed holding hands, and the audience died from the cuteness.

TOKYO EVIL QUEEN VIDEO! SUGARPILL MAKEUP TUTORIAL, FEATHERED EYELASHES, GOTH BLACK LIPSTICK & MINIONS.
We’ve yielded to your pleads… and created a SECOND Evil Queen makeup tutorial video! Muahahaha!
In the last episode, La Carmina was transformed into an Evil Queen by the Queen Bitch herself (Yukiro Dravarious). Now, the two witches capture a random victim from an elevator and each beautify half her face with Shrinkle’s Sugarpill eyeshadows and glitters.
Meanwhile, Japanese orgy “pron” blares in the background — serving as their Inspiration — and their Minion gets brutally punished for her incompetence…
Come watch the madness above and here. If you couldn’t stop laughing, please subscribe to my YouTube channel. More video adventures to come!
Everyone bow down to Geisha Queen Yukiro, master of Satanic makeup.
I did the left side of the random victim’s face; my partner did the other. It strangely works. Amazonian Cyber queen, maybe?
MINION! Kanae is single-handedly the most incompetent slave we’ve ever flushed down the toilet.
Gothic Lolita dress: Innocent World. Can’t believe I found it in Closet Child Harajuku.
Necklace: I found an old Heart of the Ocean Titanic pendant (remember those?) and strung it up.
Feathered eyelashes: Simply amazing; they match my orange hair. From Odakaya in Shinjuku.
Black lipstick: Lime Crime makeup
Glittery Goth crucifix stickers: We all wore one that night to Midnight Mess. From a Japanese dollar store.
What were your favorite moments in the scandalous video? Who made you laugh the most? You can also watch the first Evil Queen video here.
