Versailles’ trailer revealed

versailles-trailer-revealed

Thanks to people who emailed us Dead Orchestra link and trailer for the drama we talked about over here. Now we can see what kind of adventure the band has gotten themselves in. Warner Music Japan has uploaded the trailer on their official youtube account.

I have to admit, even I want to see this now! It looks cheesy but kinda cute. What do you think about the drama after watching the trailer? Do you think their acting is ok, I believe Kamijo is probably the only one who has acted before…?

Versailles to act in a drama

versailles-to-act-in-a-drama

Not sure what to think of this, seems like the guys will not only act in this special but also provide the opening theme song.

The visual-kei band Versailles will act in a television show for the first time. “Onegai Kanaete Versailles” is a late-night mini-drama that will air in a 5-minute time slot on MBS and tvk, starting this month.

The show stars Rina Koike (17) as a poor but pure girl named Rina Fukurokoujo. One day a group of “princes” (played by Versailles) appear before her to grant her every wish, no matter how unreasonable. There will be an element of comedy in their various missions, including one where they must serve as babysitters.

Out of all the members of Versailles, only vocalist KAMIJO has acting experience.

Versailles will provide the show’s theme song “Philia,” which they plan to release as a single on March 16.

“Onegai Kanaete Versailles” will air on MBS on Monday nights at 2:20am, starting January 17. tvk will broadcast the show on Friday nights at 12:30am, starting January 21.

Would you like Versailles to be your prince to grant you every wish?

Versailles teaming up with Panasonic

versailles-teaming-up-with-panasonic

This is cool, I don’t think I have ever seen a visual band team up with electronic promotion before?!

Visual-kei band Versailles is teaming up with electronics maker Panasonic for a nationwide promotion. The band’s concert at Tokyo JCB Hall on April 30 of this year was filmed in 3D, and that footage will soon begin playing on Panasonic’s 3D television sets inside 8,000 retail stores throughout Japan.

The exposure will undoubtedly bring more attention to Versailles, who just released their newest single “DESTINY -THE LOVERS-” on October 27. At the same time, Panasonic is looking to highlight their 3D TVs.

Although the nationwide broadcasts are scheduled to start near the end of this month, the Panasonic Center in Ariake, Tokyo, is already playing the footage up until November 14 (no admission required).
