1) A Japanese visual kei band

A Japanese symphonic metal band formed in 2007. Versailles' key characteristics are their rococo-esque costumes, dueling guitar sounds and heavy but melodic arrangements. The concept is a formula of "absolute beauty and extreme aestheticism". The duel guitars sound like rose vines grown riot over an agitated rhythm. Those sounds sketch the story of "The Descendants of the Rose". In August 2008, the band had to change their name because of a trademark issue in the USA. Another artist there called themselves Versailles, and warned the band through their lawyer not to use the name in American territory. So the band added "Philharmonic Quintet" after the name Versailles. Versailles was formed by KAMIJO (vocals), HIZAKI and TERU (guitars), Jasmine You (bass) and YUKI (drums). On August 9th, 2009, bassist Jasmine You suddenly passed away, only 30 years old. Due to this tragic event, the planned major debut on Warner Music Japan was delayed to January 2010. In September 2010, Versailles announced that their temporary support bassist Masashi (ex- ＡＬＰＨＡ and Ａｓｈ) will be the 6th member of the band, while Jasmine You will remain an "Eternal Member" of Versailles.

2) Dianna Marie St.Hilaire, singer, songwriter and piano player.

A emotional rollercoaster of piano keys, and a devious childlike outlook, Versailles little girls all mold together to form one unique artist.

The pain and torment of a sad child come at you with each delicate racing note. Versailles is darkwave that blends the vocals and playing of Tori Amos with an 80s new wave feel. Forming a rich catacomb of deep running emotions.

Following the release of her first EP Believe in 2005 she has had 3 songs released on Cleopatra Records in 2005,2006 and 2007. Versailles is on A Gothic Acoustic Tribute To NIN, A Tribute to She Wants Revenge , Stop Me If You Think Youve Heard This One Before (Tribute to The Smiths), and Gothic Divas. Two of these songs were produced by Gregory Butler who has also produced Switchblade Symphony.

Currently Versailles just got done with new album Broken Dolls released in late 2008. This album holds 15 songs very dear to Versailles based around the emotional side of abuse in many different forms. Following this release is a book of short stories written by Versailles. These stories "Wendy's Razor Blades", "Fade", "Mars", "Broken Dolls", "Pages", and "Legion" all show a girls struggle through different types of abuse and destruction.
Versailles went on a 3 week tour through the south, southwestern and northeastern United States for the "Broken Dolls Tour". Shortly after she went on a month tour with artists Bella Morte and Ego Likeness across the United States. Versailles is currently working on a new EP to be released in 2010 with producer Eric Greedy. Also Versailles is going to be in the newly anticipated film Black Room Doom by legendary producer Kim Fowley.

Versailles Lyrics

Ah... 確かに望んだ
"永久に生きる事"を
私のこの躯が闇に侵されてでも
Ah... 最期の願いは
"共に死に逝く事"と
彼女は望んでいた同じ神と信じて
鏡は蜘蛛の巣となって
消えてゆく灯を

Ah... 派閥に別れた微睡む時代の中
争う人々を神々が嘲笑う
鏡は蜘蛛の巣となって
消えてゆく灯を
紅いベッドの上貴女の首筋に
溢れ出す命を私に注ぐ
もっと側にいてと貴女を抱きしめて
どうして人は神を信じるのだろう?

紅いこの床を這うように

The Red Carpet Day...
The Red Carpet Day...
The Red Carpet Day...
The Red Carpet Day...
私のこの躯が闇に侵されてでも
甘いその香りに包まれて

The Red Carpet Day...
The Red Carpet Day...
The Red Carpet Day...
The Red Carpet Day...
争う人々を
The Red Carpet Day...
The Red Carpet Day...
紅いベッドの上貴女の首筋に
溢れ出す命を私に注ぐ

もっと側にいてと貴女を抱きしめて
どうして人は神を信じるのだろう?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Versailles's song "The Red Carpet Day" begin with the assertion that the singer has longed to "live forever" - a desire that remains even if their body is consumed by darkness. The last wish of their beloved was to "die together," believing in the same god as the singer. The lyrics then turn to a time of factions and division, where bickering people are ridiculed by the gods. The image of a mirror becomes a spider's web, with the light disappearing. The singer is pictured pouring out their life for their beloved on a red bed, lamenting why humans believe in gods. The song ends with the refrain of "The Red Carpet Day" and the repetition of the conflicting desires to live forever and die together.

The lyrics of "The Red Carpet Day" evoke a sense of longing for immortality and a devotion that transcends the physical body. The singer is struggling to understand why humans have faith in gods while questioning the motives of the divine beings they believe in. The image of a spider's web is used to symbolize the decay and disappearance of light, adding to the sense of desolation and loss in the song.
