Urgent Announcement from Versailles

Aug, 2009
Unfortunately, I have some very bad news for fans of Versailles, and it’s extremely hard to post this. I translated the announcement directly from their homepage, but due to my own shock and state of mind, there might be some errors. However, I’m sure you all will get the general idea.

「Versailles」 Urgent AnnouncementThough Jasmine You had taken time off in order to rest because of poor physical condition, we received a report that early in the morning on August 9th, he died. Because of the extreme abruptness of this news, the members and staff are all dumbfounded and trying hard to accept this it.
As soon as his family has been notified and updated as to the details and we receive their permission, we will further report to all of the fans.
Moreover, with the current announcement, in regards to activity, please allow us to postpone it.

RIP jasmine you….. you will be missed
It’s not true.. it’s not. It can’t be.
But I know it is…
We’ve lost a truly caring and unique person
I can’t even begin to imagine how everyone who knew him must be feeling.
R.I.P. Jasmine
I’m sure people who weren’t even Versailles or Jakura fans will miss you
<3333
No.. I’m in shock.
Rest in Peace
I had to cry for the last hour.
My one favorite of Versailles, all gone.
This is saddening. I had to read that first line twice before I could comprehend this. This is the worst death since Hide’s death from X Japan.
I am totally shocked.
I can not believe this, I saw him live…
I don’t like versailles much but he was actually a nice guy .___.
…
I don’t believe it…
Rest In Peace, You will never be forgotten :[
I wish the very best for his family, his friends and all members of the band and the staff.
I wish I could soothe their pain…
Q___Q
We will always remeber him!
i am shaking and crying and i can’t even believe it.
i love you, jazzy. rest in peace, darling.
;_____________________;
I’m not crying.
Only because I’m still in denial.
Rest easy, Jasmine. You have great company up there.
I’m not at all a fan, but holy shit. RIP.
I’m shocked like everyone…
I try to be there for many people right now…
a friend said: now the date august 9th has a 2nd sad meaning…
I have to say, I 1st cried, when I read Juka’s mixi entry a friend translated:
“I’m alone again. I lost an important companion. I don’t know how to describe it in words. I got an e-mail from him when I was in Shibuya saying ‘I’m sorry I made you worry. I’m okay!’. I never dreamed those would be his last words to me.
I stood on the same stage (as him) and I was happy.”

I read this earlier today and I’m still in shock.
I wish Versailles and his family the best.
We all miss him.
@key -Thank you for posting thie translation.
This was so stopping. i just cried.
Rest in peace, Jasmine. we will not forget you.
R.I.P
I can’t handle this.
He was one of my idols.
I’m crying for the first time in months.
Rest in peace….
I cannot believe this. I’m still in shock. This was so sudden!!!!! Versailles is one of my favourite bands. I love Jasmine You and his weird personality. Like him basking in the corner during the New Years comment. And his prettyness. Versailles won’t be the same without our Jasmine T A T Rest in peace Jasmine <3 I hope we get the details soon. I feel the need to send mail now.
Rest in Peace Jasmine You!
OMFG!
I don’t believe this!! It was only like last week or so when he paused activities. This is just so sudden! Unbelievable! So shocking…My wishes go to everyone affected by this, his family, the band, and especially the fans.
I still can’t believe this!! jeez!!
Rest in Peace Jasmine, many will miss you!! TTATT
omfg cant believe this… it cant be true. I felt some kind of shock… Bye Jasmine You, we loved u.
My dear god…
I just went to a funeral yesterday. For my mother’s father, who I never knew, and never shed a tear for. And the very next day… my eyes become waterfalls, for I did meet this man, had his sympathy, heard his voice, shook his hand… It’s especially hard, knowing this wonderful, beautiful man, one of the few j-rockers I ever had the pleasure of meeting, has passed. And yet we know no details…
I hope Versailles can stay together after this. I know Jasmine You would want them to. But there can never be a replacement for our dear peacock, no never…
Rest in peace, and I thank the Lord for letting me have the pleasure of meeting you before you left us for eternity.
I’m in shock. I’ve loved him since grace project. The over the top look and quirky..I can’t believe he’s gone.
Versailles won’t be the same without him, sadly. ;A;
RIP Jasmine
No.
WHYYYYYYYY?
I love Yuu.
Exactly not the best news to read when you wake up.
wow.
so unexpected.
he was a damn good musician
WHAT THE HECK!?!?
O_________O
This is such utterly horrible, and unbelievable news. To know he has died, still escapes me. Really, who ever thinks about a member of a band you admire would die, and so suddenly?!
Death seems like such a surreal thing, yet it’s omnipresent, every single day.. And to be smacked in the face with such morality, with such a bigger-than-life guy.. is crazy!
I mean, I just heard he was tired etc.. etc.. and was taking a little time off to get better, but who the hell would’ve known he’d die!?!? ;___; I mean, so young too! this is just sooo shocking…truly….
RIP!!! T__T You will not be forgotten and many, many will miss you!!!!!! <3
Hope for the best for Versailles and all his family and friends!!!!!!!!!!!
Rest well.. We’ll always keep you in our memory..
Wow. While personally not a fan of Jasmine You himself, I did love the music for Versallies. This is very shocking for me.
O___O!!!! I. CAN’T. BELIEVE. THIS.
It’s so sudden. His poor family. Oh man. D8
yes, first, i can’t believe for this news..
but…….OMG T_____T
i’m sorry for hear that..
Rest In Peace, Jasmine..
i will miss you T_T
because you’re great bassist as always…
OMG…Versailles is my favorite band…and now I would never meet Jasmine You…hope he’s in a better place…R.I.P Jasmine You <3
“Where should I go to be able to forget? The flying crows
I’ll go to a future which can’t see these thoughts
If I fall down, will I finally reach your world?
He, who is attached to “death” so much that it’s stupid is still…inside of the framed picture”
When I received the note I really couldn’t believe what I was reading.
All along I was hoping for his recovery, I never imagined his illness to be lethal.
After the initial shock, I kept crying in waves.
This is not how it should’ve ended, far too early to take him away.
I will forever remember his blogs, how cheerful and sincere he always was.
A great talent, a great person, he will be missed and remembered.
My condolences go out to his family, close friends, and his bandmates.
I’m going to say this once again… …oushikuso!!! kusegoto!!!
This is ridiculous. But it was coincidental for me. I was talking about Jasmine You today and later started listening to Lyrical Sympathy. Once i logged into my multiply, it was like reality just punched me right in the face when I saw a post about his death.
I was brought to tears, crying my eyes out and yet, this is the first musician I have cried over since hide. I was just a kid when hide passed on but, this right here is hard for me to bare. Jasmine You was my favorite musician out of the rest of the band. To this day I haven’t changed my multiply layout of Versailles.
You are and will be deeply and truly missed, You-dono.
When I met Jasmine You, the first words he said to me was “It’s ok”,
my wish is that he would say the same words now, from where he rests.
Rest in peace, I will remember your talent and kindness.
I can’t believe this has happened. . I can’t really say anything that hasn’t already been said but I’d like to suggest that we wear purple for Jasmine. And if anybody had any accessories with feathers to wear those. I suggest purple since I think that was his last color theme and it is royal and befitting a respectful sendoff.
T_T
rest in peace jasmine..
Im crying so hard right now. I can’t even stop. This is so hard to believe. Rest in peace Jasmine. TT_TT
R.I.P Jasmine You
Dearest Jasmine You,
Upon hearing the news that you have passed away, I could feel my heart drop. I was very worried about your condition. (u.u)
This past week has been very hard for me. My Great Grandmother passed away and it’s very hard for me to let go. I know how hard it is to lose someone that you’ve known admired and loved. Even now, I didn’t know you at all, but my heart is aching.
I had a wish that I could meet you one day. Maybe that day will have to wait.
To the memory of Jasmine You, may you find peace among the starry sky.
***Will Versailles disband? I hope not! The same thing happened to Malice Mizer when Kami (R.I.P) passed away. (U.U) It makes me very worried!
I can’t stop crying, I was such a big fan of him, he always put a smile on my face, today I got tears..
I’ll always love him
Rest in Peace my Dear.
Oh my God, I just feel like it’s a joke but it isn’t. T__T
Rest In Peace, Yasmine You.
I’m so sorry, how did I write his name wrong. This is just so shocking. T__T
R.I.P Jasmine You
Waking up to this was terrible. Soon as I read it I screamed.
This is just, not real.
I’m in shock! I don’t believe yet… but…
R.I.P. Jasmi!
@ Kassie. I had a similar idea, too. Tomorrow I will be wearing a purple wardrobe with a peacock feather as a hair accessory in honor of him.
I’ll definitely miss him.
I cannot believe it, I haven’t realized it yet, I don’t think I will. It just feels so wrong. ;___;
R.I.P
Oh my god, this was so shocking TT___TT I haven’t cried in years but this really made me cry…
R.I.P Jasmine You
Today morning i have read the news in a flog on our community and i was shocked and then i begin to cry.
I’cant believe it .
Why?Why?
R.I.P
with love ShinShin

It’s just so sad and so sudden – I’m so shocked and my heart goes out to his family and friends
