Visual-kei rock band Versailles held the last stage of their world tour at Shibuya C.C.Lemon Hall on the 4th. At the concert, they announced that MASASHI will be an official bassist member for Versailles.
MASASHI had helped the world tour as a support member after one of the members, jasmin You, passed away in August of 2009. The vocalist of the band, KAMIJO, told the audience during the concert, “We will welcome MASASHI who had been a support member for the past 6 months, into the band as our 6th official member.”
Although they have a new bassist, jasmin Du will always be a part of the band, as the group say that Versailles will consist of 6 members instead of the original 5 in jasmin You’s memory
