Go To

The band:

  • Died During Production: Jasmine's sudden death in 2009, just as Versailles' musical career was really kicking off.
  • Fan Community Nickname: "Descendants of the Rose", or simply "Roses" or "Descendants".
  • No Export for You: Not as bad a case as most Visual Kei bands, but non-Japanese fans will still find it a bit challenging to get a hold of their releases. (And, because of the trademark issue mentioned above, American fans can't legally view the band's music videos on YouTube.)
  • Promoted Fanboy: Teru's main influence as a guitarist was Chris Impellitteri, and he eventually became a dedicated live session guitarist for his band and designed the cover art for his 2015 release Venom.
