DNR, DREAMS NOT REALITY & VERSAILLES: CAVACON JROCK VISUAL KEI CONCERT, ITALY. SEBA, KIRA, AXIA, SIEG, ASH BAND PHOTOS.
A fantasy came true: Seba’s band DNR — Dreams Not Reality was the first in history to open for Versailles, the Japanese Visual Kei legends!
Dying to hear what happened behind-the-scenes with DNR and Versailles, at the Cavacon Italy concert? Keep reading for the juicy details.
As you may recall, Seba recently joined DNR, the Euro-Visual rock band, as vocals and keyboards. Incredible: his very first live performance… was right before Versailles! (Here’s how he looked before and after becoming a Dreamer.)
The five members took a road trip to Salerno, close to Naples. There was lots of joking and fun along the way. DNR laughed when they saw this billboard for a child’s Communion, erected by an over-bearing papa and mamma.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel, the rockers took off their clothes and jumped into the swimming pool. (Wish you were there?)
Seba was also Versailles’ translator, so he stayed with the Jrock giants for most of the time. We can’t post the snap photos with Versailles, for privacy reasons. But Seba can assure you that Hizaki, Kamijo, Teru, Yuki and Masashi were sweet and gracious in person. He and Versailles also knew many of the same people in the Japanese music industry.
Time to get Visual, and dress up for the concert. Do you think Seba’s pants are sufficiently tight?
As always, DNR’s performance was full of passion and energy. The band played seven songs and won over the crowd, many of whom had lined up for hours.
Exhausted but euphoric, Seba poses with Axia (vocals) and Kira (bass) afterwards.
When the event was over, Seba’s band spent time talking to fans, and then shared pizza with Versailles. The Japanese V-rockers told them they love Italy, and are psyched to embark on a world tour this year.
Elephant-sized news: DNR and I are collaborating on a top secret musical project, taking place in Rome this month! Stay tuned for more info — we’re doing something unexpected and exciting, I promise.
What do you think DNR and La Carmina are planning? Got any questions about Versailles, or the historic concert? I welcome you to leave a comment, and share/Like this blog post.

ROOMORAMA REVIEW: HONG KONG SHORT TERM APARTMENT RENTAL, APARTMENTS FOR RENT, FURNISHED HOTEL ROOMS.
If you’re a young traveler like Seba and me, you’re probably in that Twilight Zone when it comes to accommodations. Where you can’t afford the nice hotel, but are reluctant to “rough it” in a hostel. Or worse, on someone’s tea-stained couch. Ick.
Guess what — there’s a happy medium! Roomorama lets you book short term apartment rentals, in cities all around the world. Meaning you can stay in stylish digs and experience the life of a local, with enough left over for shopping.
The Roomorama team set us up with a Hong Kong flat for three weeks. Shall we give you a tour-o-rama?
As you can see, our apartment has a sleek, modern design. Like a hotel, the room was clean and furnished — no need to pack towels or toothbrushes.
To our delight, there was near-endless storage space, making it easy to put away luggage and purchases. (My rose hoodie is gifted by Iron Fist.)
Do you like Seba’s Lady Gaga look? (Crown headband and fringe dress gifted from gla.MAR.ous)
Roomorama chooses its landlords carefully, so we were in good hands. The building had a doorperson and considerate staff (they lent us adapter plugs, and gave info about the neighborhood). There was even maid service eight times a month!
Our air-conditioned apartment had broadband internet, a DVD player, flat screen TV, and kitchen equipment.
We got to watch local TV, and funny Chinese music videos (like Touch My Heart).
Who can argue with the view of Hong Kong’s harbor?
The bed was comfortable. And that’s all we’re going to say about that.
It was fun to live like a local, in a chic apartment full of character. Seba and I can’t thank Roomorama enough for the experience. Coming up next, we’ll take you around our Causeway Bay neighborhood.
Roomorama’s site is secure and easy to use. There’s a wide range of quality rentals (for example, I found a Hollywood studio for $55 a day), with photos and customer feedback for each listing. A gem for mid-range and business travelers: I hope you remember Roomorama the next time you need a place to stay!
(As Teknicolor Dahlia commented, “For around the same price as a 3-night stay in some places we could stay for a whole week! Extra days of exploring cities and shopping? I’m all for that.”)
Have you ever stayed in a furnished apartment, or short-term rental? Did you enjoy it more than a hotel? What do you think of Roomorama’s services and rates?
