Letters from the Roses to the Withered Flower

I wish that my proficiency in the Japanese language was high enough so that I would be able to participate in this project. The link that I am going to give you leads to another site full of letters that other artists wrote in memory of Jasmine. If you are still sensitive concerning the tragedy of yesterday I advise you to get some tissues because I know you will want to read each and every one of them. Once you are done, I know you will start all over again and will require multiple boxes of Kleenex. The translations were done by Neme and Phantasmagoria (of Tainted World) just so I give credit where credit is due.

The following is also from Phantasmagoria and it is taken exactly as it is written.

"No news...

Kamijo did approve a comment begging him to keep Versailles together. I just feel he's too grief-stricken to do much of anything right now.

Hopefully he will be able to push through his sorrow and offer us a bit of peace... knowing that Versailles won't perish, too."

I'll take any good news that can be given right now.

This is Zesshoku, keeping you up to date on everything Versailles related as soon as he locates it.

I'm still screaming

Unfortunately, I have some very bad news for fans of Versailles, and it’s extremely hard to post this. I translated the announcement directly from their homepage, but due to my own shock and state of mind, there might be some errors. However, I’m sure you all will get the general idea.

「Versailles」 Urgent Announcement

Though Jasmine You had taken time off in order to rest because of poor physical condition, we received a report that early in the morning on 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.

As soon as his family has been notified and updated as to the details and we receive their permission, we will further report to all of the fans.

Moreover, with the current announcement, in regards to activity, please allow us to postpone it.
