Versailles members HIZAKI (G), TERU (G), MASASHI (B), and YUKI (Dr) have welcomed a new vocalist ZIN to the ranks and they’ve created a new band called Jupiter.

This summer, Jupiter will release their debut single, “Blessing of the Future“, under Universal International’s rock label Thunderball667. The band plans to release songs and hold lives taking into consideration of activities across the world.

In related news, Versailles member KAMIJO (Vo) is currently recording for his solo debut this summer.

"We are creatively drained" --> Form new band in almost the exact same line-up with the exact same sound/style.

"There were internal tensions" --> Kamijo's ego got too big?

Anyway, I'm glad they're continuing in this line-up. The little sample sounded exactly the same as their usual work, but why change what works.
Not too big on the new vocalist so far. Kamijo definitely added something unique to their sound. This new one sounds as crappy the most VK vocalists

Zin's better than expected, but not quite Kamijo level. Reminds me a bit of the Hizaki Grace era, but more refined.

Hmm... Not what I was hoping for so far, but there's still hope.

Let's get some stats up in here!

Jupiter's 1st single sold: 2,006 copies and ranked #38
Kamijo s 1st single sold: 6,565 copies and ranked #19

Usually, the band's single would sell less when there is an upcoming album. However!

Jupiter's album sold 3,646 copies and ranked #31.

At Versailles popularity peak they sold roughly 7k~9K of their albums and singles.
However, the last single and album were also at the 3~4K mark.

What does this all mean? Are the fans done with them? More support for Kamijo?

Hizaki looking a bit strange lately.

Was the uStream today? Damn, I missed it.

Kamijo's Symphony entered the charts at #20...

^entered the charts at #26.

They should stop doing those SHM-CDs, because they make the singles crazy expensive.
The only reason to order this single is for the bonus poster with the hand signed autographs tbh. (first press only at certain stores)

Kamijo's Symphony of the Vampire had a weekly ranking of #47 with 2.415 copies sold, which is less than Jupiter's album at the time:

edit:

Jupiter's LAST MOMENT sold 1,792 copies and ranked #37 on the weekly charts.

Really poor sales from all of them tbh. I prefer Kamijo's album over Jupiter's latest single tho, but they *really* need to forget these new projects and get back together. It's obvious they need each other.

Hizaki wants to live like a man!
