Red [The Gazette]
Translation
The deeper I know youThe more I end up not understanding you at all
And yet I cannot see something like "a red string"
Because I cannot undo my faith for you
Hold me Although I knew it's a lie I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips, I will be satisfied by your warmth I can't go back even now
I'm shivering in the rain that began to fall
Without holding an umbrella
Because I'm afraid of knowing loneliness
I wanted you
And yet I cannot see something like "a red string"
Because I cannot undo my longing for you
Hold me Although I knew it's a lie I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips, I will be satisfied by your warmth I can't go back even now
I nodded to your words that were mingled with a sigh
"We will be able to laugh together at our disagreements again"
I want to believe it
And yet I cannot see something like "a red string"
Because I cannot undo my faith for you
If it's a given that everything will have an end
We will certainly for eternity ...
If it is said there is nothing that is certain
We can swear by our tomorrow
Hold me Although I knew it's a lie I won't hide my drowning heart
I drown in your lips, I will be satisfied by your warmth I can't go back even now

あなたを深く知る程に
あなたがわからなくなる
「赤い糸」など見えないくせに
信じてたのは戻れないから
抱きしめて 嘘を知っていたのに溺れる心隠せない
唇に沈むあなたの熱に満たされてゆく 戻れない 今更
降り出した雨の中で
傘も差せずに震えてる
孤独を知るのが怖いから
あなた求めてた
「赤い糸」など見えないくせに
求め合うのは戻れないから
抱きしめて 嘘を知っていたのに溺れる心隠せない
唇に沈むあなたの熱に満たされてゆく 戻れないの今更
溜め息混じりの言葉に頷き返す
「掛け違う事でまた二人は笑い合えるさ」
I want to believe it
「赤い糸」など見えないくせに
信じてたのは戻れないから
全てに終わりがあるとするなら
二人はきっと永遠で...
確かなものなど無いと言うなら
二人の明日を誓えるよ
抱きしめて 嘘を知っていたのに溺れる心隠せない
唇に沈むあなたの熱に満たされてゆく 戻れない 今更

i guess many of you will be shocked about this suddenly announcement
i’m really sorry because the result is going like this
i think, i can’t think about deluhi without this four members
myself also can’t take this as reality
please understand and think positively about deluhi’s breakup
during the hiatus, my throat condition is getting better
and i’m concentrating about getting back after the hiatus
and that’s not change even now
ntil the summer tour final, i’ll fight with all might as deluhi’s juri
and i’ll be really happy if you support me/us until the end
(source: twitlonger.com
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-LEDA-
first, i apologize for can’t keep my promise
i said, “we’ll be back”
but i’m really sorry for it’s happen like this
the thinking “from now on, we’ll going to take bigger step” on our hiatus, i always thinking about deluhi
as for the value, i tought we’re growing up and must be coming back
i always see that vision
i honestly don’t think about the break up
we discuss about the member retirement many times
we respect ‘his’ decision
and what can we do is to reach this decision
and what will i do about deluhi?
when i think about the remaining members„,
in this 3 years, we experience many things as four of us, we experience happiness and sadness together
though we come back with the remaining 3 members
though we come back with new member
that’s not deluhi
i don’t think that at first and don’t want to show it to you
i believe this is the best solution
i think the break up is the most betraying (news) all of you who waiting for us
i’m terrible sorry
on last tour, we got many happniess and joy from all of you
this time, we will return it
and together, send out the beloved member to new path he choose
i’m really thankful for the support we got
it’s a huge supply for us
(source: twitlonger.com

-sujk-
i’m sorry for sudden news
i’m really sorry for the fans who feels really betrayed because believe deluhi will come back
the members and staffs have a heavy discussion, not only the conclusion from 4 members of deluhi
though the band want to continue again after the hiatus
but can’t be like that
for me, deluhi is a huge existence
i also live my life with deluhi
that’s why i never think of breakup
i’m really regret this
as for me, the members is feels like family
it’s the best about four of us doing live
i love the present members from bottom of my heart
that’s why, it’s good with the four of us
because of this four members of deluhi
plus or minus isn’t necessary
with this four members of deluhi, we begin
so, when it comes to end, it should be end with this four people
with deluhi, i can realize many things, and i can really grow
i’m really glad for being able to playing music with deluhi
and i’m really glad for being able to meet all of you
not only for deluhi’s present members
but also the fans and many people there

the fans who supports, staffs, and related people
i thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your cooperation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-aGGY-
i want to talk honestly
it’s me who want to retire
during the hiatus, i’m moved by the music and arts with flat condition
and i’m begin to understand to change what kind of things i wish for
and, because of that, as the result of thinking a lot for what am i obtain…
i have this answer
as deluhi, working with the members and staff, also, the most important, the fans
i want to thank you
i’m growing up with you
though it’s illogical about saying this retirement, it’s closing with the two words: break up
i have complication with myself
but, for the final tour,
i want to enjoy my precious time with you
though i’m alone when facing the terminal station
though it’s only a while, as aggy from deluhi
though it’s sad or happy, i want to receive it happily
that’s what i’m thinking

lets know about versailles
Versailles is a Japanese rock band formed in 2007. It is comprised of several notable figures in the visual kei scene.
In March 2007, Versailles was formed by Kamijo (Lareine), Hizaki (Sulfuric Acid) and Jasmine You (Jyakura). Later, Teru (Aikaryu) and Yuki (Sugar Trip), who were recommended by the "Rock May Kan", a venue in Tokyo, joined the band.
Kamijo and Hizaki created the concept of Versailles in the autumn of 2006 and spent six months gathering members to express it. Their concept is “The absolute Youshikibi (beauty of form) sound and extremes of aestheticism”.
In March 2007, the details of the band were announced. They released promotional material through the Internet, set up an English language page on MySpace and have made several interviews with foreign press.
Versailles made their first appearance with a showcase on June 23, followed by their first performance on June 24. On these dates they also distributed their very first single and DVD single, The Revenant Choir.
The band signed a contract with the German CLJ Records label and released its first album, Lyrical Sympathy on October 31, both in Japan and Europe. Their song, The Love From A Dead Orchestra also appears on the compilation album, released by Sony BMG in Germany on the November 9, called Tokyo Rock City.
In 2008, Versailles will make its debut performing in America. On 30 May at Project A-Kon in Dallas, TX, and on 3 June at the Knitting Factory in Los Angeles, California.
Upon finding out that there were other bands with the same name as them in America, the band extended their name. With help from fans the name of the band is now Versailles-Philharmonic Quintet.
The expanded name’s specific meaning; Philharmonic means, lover of harmony and symphonic music. Quintet means, a group of five musicians.
This name is for the use in the U.S. territory, and will be used in the upcoming shows in Washington D.C. and New York in October 2008.
On August 9, 2009 Jasmine You passed away. He had taken time off in order to rest because of poor physical condition. Then early in the morning of the 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. They have taken an activity pause and will announce when they will return in the future.

Biography
On the 1994, November KAMIJO formed LALIENE, the group was initially signed to Applause Records. The band gained success on the indie scene, shortly after they changed their name to Lareine in 1996. In 1999 they obtained their first major contract with Sony Music Entertainment, but in August 2000 the band suddenly disbanded. Then, KAMIJO decided to continue his career as a solo artist, still using the name Lareine, and published the album Scream.
KAMIJO ended his solo project in June 2001 to start NEW SODMY with MAYU, former guitarist of Lareine. This band also didn't last very long, and disbanded shortly after the debut album's release. In august 2002 KAMIJO resumed Lareine's activities, while maintaining his solo career. The former members, MAYU, EMIRU and MACHI took part in the project as support members, and in 2003 they re-joined the band (except for the drummer, MACHI, who was replaced by Kazumi). In 2006, Kazumi decided to leave the band for his own personal reasons, and shortly after MAYU left the band. The last live of Lareine was held on the 31st of October with HIZAKI as a support guitarist.
KAMIJO also once composed Chinmoku no Hane for the KISAKI Project and took part as vocalist on KISAKI's session band KISAKI & Kansai Kizoku, as a special guest. In June 2007, he joined with HIZAKI to form a new band, Versailles, and he continues to serve as the band's vocalist.

The band pre-Gazette (Ma'die Kuss) [2000 ~ 2002], where a vocalist Ruki step, they decided to rename and integrate 2 new members to the exclusion of support. One member specifically Yune, I talked about Aoi, Uruha, and after talking with him, asked him to join the band. Aoi was a lifelong friend of Yune This is what would Gazette in February 2002. In March they do their first tour of Japan and in April of this year get their first single "Wakaremichi" along with 2 pv's, between the months of August and in September launched a new singles Vhs, this time stamp as was Martin.

The album debut was followed by a promotional tour from July through September. In October, The Gazette started their first European tour stopping England, Finland, France, and Germany.
A single called "Guren" was released on February 13, 2008, which landed a #1 spot on the Oricon Charts, and it was announced that a new DVD would be released in August, and a new single Leech in Autumn 2008 [8], which also landed a #1 spot on the Oricon daily charts.[9]
The Gazette accomplished a one man tour through all of October called "From the Distorted City", referencing to the song "Distorted Daytime" in their single "Leech". It portrays Tokyo as a Distorted City, in terms of the society and political crisis sweeping over Japan in current days. "From the Distorted City" illustrates 'A Message from the Distorted City of Tokyo'.
On November 15, 2008, the GazettE hosted their first Secret Live in Shinjuku Station. Originally, around 250 people were to be anticipated, but instead, over 7000 came to the live, the most in history. Due to the amount of people on the streets, the police were forced to shut it down after two songs. [9][10] On 3rd January 2009, the GazettE performed along side their fellow bands signed to the PS company label to celebrate the record labels 10th anniversary where they announce that on March 25, 2009, they will release a new single called "Distress and Coma". In addition to their new single the band have announced that they will be releasing a new album "DIM" on July 15th.
On October 7, 2009, they released their new single called "Before I Decay". It'll be the soundtrack for the Japanese version of "Fast and Furious 4".
The band then played at V-ROCK FESTIVAL'09 on October 25, 2009 with other Visual Kei bands. They were featured on the main website, and performed the finale of the whole festival[14], unfortunately their performance was not broadcast live on the internet. Soon they will have another one-man Christmas live on December 24, 2009 called "A HYMN OF THE CRUCIFIXION".
