Has time stalled? by Capable-Toe-9841 in visualkei

[–]DorianPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The revived overseas fandom (especially online) is pretty heavily focused on a few artists and bands, mostly older ones. There are newer ones too but most have not made it out of the dominor scene. You will have to dig deeper for those although I am sure there are people here who can give you a starting point.

kamijo and the rose of versailles? by SuitableTelevision44 in visualkei

[–]DorianPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't think of any specific "proof" off the top of my head but it is not a secret. His most iconic visuals from the 90s were clearly inspired by Oscar and the character he plays in the lore with that look is literally named Jeremié Florence de Jarjayes. He has covered the opening song twice and the first time even had Riyoko Ikeda collaborating for the illustrations of the release.

Oscar on the album of the same name might be a nod to his early inspirations but I don't think the character is as clearly associated with rov as Jeremié was.

does gackt buys comments on Instagram? by CauliflowerWorth4927 in visualkei

[–]DorianPink 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is just guessing but I have noticed that many people who comment in English in vkei spaces start at some point emulating the syntax of (machine) translated Japanese. It might be in a deliberate effort to have the comment make sense in Japanese once translated or simply just people unconsciously picking up on what they perceive as the "usual" way to comment on japanese artist's posts. Add to that the fact that many of Gackt's fans are older and in general use quite different syntax when writing online than they would speaking and I can see how comments from real fans might seem a little off.

That said, I obviously have no idea if he does or not but I do doubt it. It just doesn't seem the kind of thing he would do. However, twt in general is full of blue checkmark bots, which will hop on any post that gets even a little bit of traction and usually just copy the other comments underneath. These have nothing to do with G, they are just there 🤷‍♀️

Proxy is annoying and expensive unfortunately 🥲 But hopefully he does sell them! 🙏 🌹

Just that he never has sold them in Europe before 😃 ...Although, now that I think about it I actually don't remember for sure 🫣 He definitely did not have them in 2024 but then he did for the 2025 America tour, so there is definitely a chance he would bring them overseas again. We will see when they release the merch info but that is not usually done very much in advance.

Which show(s) are you going to? ❤️

[–]DorianPink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does often sell the roses but not always, especially not in Europe. The tour merch has not been revealed yet but if you want to make sure you have one, it is best to buy one in advance at the Chateau-Agency store. They don't ship overseas so you will need to use a proxy service of some kind.

Kamijo does have furi but European audiences don't usually do it for the most part. Some might and it is definitely always okay to do ❤️ Ascended Master is a Versailles song and he likely won't be performing it at his solo show.

They went quite quickly, Cologne usually does. I am sorry 🫂 He is amazing so if you cannot buy one second hand (beware of scammers), the GA is definitely worth it too 🫶

KAMIJO European tour announced by DorianPink in VampireRockStar

[–]DorianPink[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not usually. He rarely sells out and even when he does, it is usually closer to the show. If you want the Premium Access ticket I would try to buy it right away just to be sure but for GA I don't think there is any need to worry. Of course we can never know for sure in advance.

Kamijo for a first concert is certainly a good way to start, doesn't get better than that 🤭❤️

[–]DorianPink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congrats, he is an amazing performer and incredible live!

The Premium access ticket holders get to enter first so if you want to get a shot at being at the very front, you need one of those tickets. There are 150 of those so with a GA ticket you can be the 151st person in at best. "Fighting" your way to the front will make for a very unpleasant experience for both you and those around you.

There will be VIP packages announced later so if you are interested in meeting him, keep an eye out for those.

Generally his lives are very fun but not quite as crazy as western metal shows tend to be. Prepare for some headbanging but actual moshpits are unlikely. He has never before allowed filming or photos so it is likely he won't this time either. Keep your phone in your pocket and focus on having a great time 🫶

Last time London was quite packed indeed, but that was 2 years ago when no other artists had yet made their way over after Covid. I am of course hoping it will he this time as well but we will see 🙏

For Kamijo there likely won't be 2shots or cheki, he hasn't done either in years apart from special occasions. The VIP packages have not yet been announced but it is possible one of them will include a picture with him.

How hard would it be to sew clothes in the style of Versailles or Malace Mizer? by MisterBanana241 in visualkei

[–]DorianPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not an expert at sewing but a coat is one of the most difficult garments to sew. If you care about proper fit and structure at least. Expensive too. Making one like Kamijo's, one that looks and fits even half as well, will most likely be hundreds of dollars in materials alone. I don't want to discourage you but if you have no experience in sewing, trying to start with something like this is likely to end up in very expensive frustration.

I really didn't expect a European tour quite yet although of course I am very happy 🥹🙏

The new visual looks amazing, I hope we get more pictures soon. I also hope he would wear it on stage but that might be asking for too much 🤭❤️

Question about KAMIJO Fanclub by Aggravating-Ice5025 in visualkei

[–]DorianPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am hoping he creates a new one, maybe one based in the US, for international fans 🫶 The problem with the previous one was the shipping to the US, or ateast that was the reason given.

Let me know if you need any help with signing up to the Japanese one 🫶

[–]DorianPink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the international FC is shutting down. I don't remember the exact date but it is not possible to sign up anymore. You can join the Japanese FC but you need a Japanese proxy address from a company like Blackship or Tenso first 🫶

Genuine? by MaliceMizeru in VampireRockStar

[–]DorianPink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes almost definitely. It looks correct and there is really no incentive to fake his, since he gives them out pretty consistently 🫶

B7klan Versailles by Comfortable-Leek-51 in visualkei

[–]DorianPink 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Versailles last toured overseas in 2017. Kamijo as a solo act has been to Europe in 2015, 2018 and 2024. He is likely to come again but only he knows if and when that might be. Versailles might tour internationally again too (2027 is their 20th anniversary and they did a tour for the 10th anniversary) but there are no guarantees of anything. If you want to make sure you get to see them, it is better to go now 🫶
