Kamijo [Versailles] - Important Announcement On Copyright

Kamijo published a translated message to his fans to exhort them to not break copyrights which protects special contents of Versailles' websites. 

Kamijo himself, as well as the whole band, reserve some interviews, photos, behind the scenes for who buys an account on their official sites. Unfortunately some have been published in other parts of Internet by the same users several times. For this reason Kamijo shared this message in English:

REASON

I’ve received lots of messages about my “Onegai (Please do me a
 favor)” text. Many thanks.

Did I sound a bit too harsh?
 No, I didn’t mean to be harsh at all.
 But I’ve come to realize that my explanation was insufficient and that
 I have to explain it fully for you to understand what I mean.
 First of all, I always thank all of you and street teams in every
 country who continuously support us by rendering our info and news
 into your languages and by posting them on your websites and/or blogs.
 That really helps spread my band and our info to the world, which is
 nothing but wonderful! I really appreciate that a lot! 
 m(k)m
 The main reason why I decided to post the “Onegai” text is that I got
 a message saying, “I’m going to translate the column in ____ magazine,
 put it on my website and spread it to the world.” It’s great that the
 person wants to spread us to the world. But there’s a big problem. All
 the interviews/texts/info appear in any magazine belong to its
 publisher and they are called “copyrighted work.” If you translate any
 copyrighted work without the publisher’s permission, it’s called a
 “breach of copyright.” As you know, it’s against the law. I just
 couldn’t let it pass because I knew one of our great fans was about to
 do something illegal. Those publishers run our interviews and info in
 their magazines just because they support us as much as all of you
 fans out there do. We are all in the same family circle of Versailles
 and we care them and you fans equally. So please ask the publisher for
 permission first before you start working on the translation.

I’m writing what I wanted to say in my “Onegai” text here again to
 make it clear:Please do not reprint, translate or post all the copyrighted work
 belongs to our management, record company, and band such as music,
 visuals, photographs, website contents, pictures in our CD artworks
 and photo collection books.

What is free to reprint, translate and post is promotional photos/info
 on our official website, texts in our blogs open to public in addition
 to my tweets and photos on my twitter and facebook. You are absolutely
 welcome to utilize them on your websites or blogs. Feel free to do
 whatever you think is good for us.

Closed info and our website
 contents exclusively for registered fan club members are not included.
 And please remember, all the translated texts and info about us
 rendered by our fans are personal interpretation of the translator.
 Both translators and readers, please keep that in mind.
 Regarding all the copyrighted work such as magazine contents, I leave
 a decision up to the magazine publishers. So please contact them
 first.

Regarding the texts and info for KAMIJO World members only, reprint
 and translation are basically prohibited. If you are a KAMIJO World
 member and if you want to translate for other members who don’t read
 Japanese, please post the translated text on comment space. It’s a
 good suggestion from some members and I think it works well in this
 case. I hope to create our ideal world together with all of you by
 exchanging good ideas and express things honestly. Thank you!

UNDER CODE PRODUCTION - Closing Down

KISAKI has announced on his blog that the label will close down in March 2013 after their 10 years anniversary. As for the future of each label band, details will be announced at a later date. Below is the translated statement from KISAKI's Blog: 

【UNDER CODE PRODUCTION Dissolution】

In March 2013, UNDER CODE PRODUCTION will face its tenth anniversary.

At the same time it will “dissolve”.

For now the reason is being withheld, but it’s the conclusion of years of complications and drawn-out trouble.

Making this “the greatest 10 year anniversary” and burning out with the related bands & the important companions [fans] who support them: that is now my number one wish.

If the present doesn’t shine, the past and the future won’t shine either… Because of that, with the remaining time, we’ll loudly charge on just like us, and one by one we’ll do our best to to leave no regrets, so please give us your support!!

Specific details and the future of the related bands will be announced at a later time.

Shaura [JUKA] - Quitting All Musical Activities

Shaura (Previosly known as JUKA) released an official statement via his blog on August 28th announcing that he will quit all musical activities. Below is the translated statement:

"Goodbye."

I'm sorry for deleting all my posts.

I recognize the difference between the feeling of the present and past ....
So I can not face it.

3 months ago still existed VII-sense ....
I dedicated myself to the end, and after the end of the band, I kept my strength and put all my energy into my dream.


But ...


Firstly, I gave up going to the U.S..

I'm going to the U.S. within a year!
I thought and planned in several ways, but gave up ..

In fact, I can go to the U.S. alone, but I will not be successful alone.
It's just a fight will ...
In short, I lost my coworkers and managers.

I recognize.
In life, there are less than 1 percent chance of succeeding, as I suppose.
I'm used to this situation, so I'm not too disappointed.


Now I usually work and live a full life.
It's not easy, but nobody criticizes me for this, and I can be valued for my work.

This life is very comfortable for me.


I will never return to music.


I'm happy now, so I do not want to end this life.

If I thought that way for the band's activities, it would have been better.
But it was very, very painful for me.
So I could not feel happiness.

I do not want to have these feelings and I do not want my members feel that.

I always took a thorn path, then after that, I'm going on a road joyful.



My dear fans,
I'm sorry. "
