ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted November 19, 2015 I wish them luck for a variety of reasons. They're both extremely talented so I'm excited to watch them progress in new musical projects. However it just reaffirms to me that Versailles isn't coming back ever. I guess that was confirmed a while back but like I kept hearing people say that they will be back just be patient but if they're already not interested in being a part of Jupiter they probably won't be interested in reforming Versailles. In either case I hope this means that Jupiter will regroup with equally as talented members and try to make better music and I can't wait to see what Yuki and Masashi do with their lives. 2 Zeus and anieresus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeus 7997 Posted November 19, 2015 Yuki's drumming was a core part of their sound, and together with Masashi they were one hell of a rhythm unit. You could hear it more in Versailles than Jupiter. I always thought that Jupiter was trying to be Versailles-lite and market a more pop power metal combo, and in that context I understand what they feel. If Jupiter is going to stay the course - and it seems like they will - then Masashi and Yuki will continue to play second fiddle to the guitarists. There's no room for them to grow in this band anymore. I hope they stick together since they're leaving together and maybe even form a new band. Visual kei needs them. 4 YuyoDrift, emmny, Yukimoto and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted November 19, 2015 Hmm... I wonder if the Hizaki x Teru politics put a strain on the rest of the band? They seem to be the only members who really matter at this point, and I wonder if this is the same situation that caused Versailles to split. If I recall correctly, Hizaki has split up bands before for being hard to work with. Isn't that why Sulfuric Acid ended? (Well, that and Tomozo is really good at making people quit his bands) This is still fairly surprising, but at the same time I'm excited to see what other genres Masashi and Yuki are going to explore next since they're two of the most solid musicians this scene has. 4 suji, Silverhawk33, emmny and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no room for them to grow in this band anymore. You and I both know that the moment Hizaki decides to leave, this band is DONE. As great as Teru is, this band will not stay afloat without Hizaki. Zin is not that great of a vocalist, and pales in comparison to Kamijo. Who in the hell will be able to replace Masahi OR Yuki? VERY big shoes to fill. 3 Zeus, Serox and emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted November 19, 2015 Well, good luck for their future endeavor. Also, it won't surprise me if these two guys formed their own band together after this. A little too predictable if it's really happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ada Suilen 652 Posted November 19, 2015 I hope that Masashi and Yuki will prove their talent in other projects and that Jupiter will find equally good bass and drummer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverhawk33 1435 Posted November 19, 2015 Honestly, I can easily see them moving on from this (as a new project or Jupiter still has me wondering, probably the latter). Now the matter for me is if they get actual new members or just live fill-ins... I'm still supporting them regardless since surprisingly those were the three members that I even cared for. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
inartistic 1150 Posted November 19, 2015 So, does that translate to “we're tired of playing the same boring shit”? But I guess rhythm section is replaceable for that type of music, so Jupiter will prob continue. 2 suji and emmny reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted November 19, 2015 lmfao this was genuinely surprising i guess being attached to hizaki at the hip for so long gets boring until peace's comment i forgot how much of a guitar fuckfest jupiter was, +1 on not wanting to play second fiddle to hizaki+teru im curious to see what their (imminent) new band will sound like and what other great musicians they'll recruit. also im curious to see who hizaki+teru will recruit for jupiter.
