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.

BIOGRAPHY
Jasmine You entered the visual kei scene after joining 雀羅-jyakura-, an indies band based in Nagoya that managed to become pretty succesful in the scene. After they disbanded in 2003, You decided not to join another full-time band and only played in some session bands.
In 2006 he was invited by his long-time friend HIZAKI to join his solo project, and in early 2007 he also took part to the theatrical rock show Node of scherzo.
According to some interviews, it looks like You has never been officially invited to join Versailles. He was hanging around with KAMIJO and HIZAKI a lot at that time and it just felt natural to have him in the band. In the indies days he was in charge of the business side of the band, having a lot of contacts with other musicians, shops and companies.
