My favorite memory of Jasmine?

The first time I met him, he was in a bath towel in the hallway at Sunphonix Hall in Yokohama. The rest of the band was in the changing room, but he was chilling outside the door fiddling with his bass. I'm looking for Kojima, their manager, to see which part of the set I'm allowed to photograph and out of no where he starts testing out his English on me. Kojima found me and pulled me away to talk about the show before I could test out my rudimentary Japanese on him in return, and I always said to myself next time I see him, I'm going to ask him the same questions in Japanese. When I interviewed the band in NYC some time later, I didn't get the chance, I figured there would be a next time. Now…there isn't…

My favorite memory of Jasmine?

The first time I met him, he was in a bath robe in the hallway at Sunphonix Hall in Yokohama. The rest of the band was in the changing room, but he was chilling outside the door fiddling with his bass.

When I interviewed the band in NYC some time later, I didn’t get the chance, I figured there would be a next time. Now…there isn’t…

I’m currently suffering from some form of shock….my mind is refusing to accept that such an event has happened…I keep on repeating “No! NO!!” over and over to myself and….I’m lost.

I’m…just crying at the moment….my family thinks something’s wrong with me…but I just can’t accept the fact that Jasmine You has died….at least not yet. As I stare at the posters of Versailles that hang on my wall, I burst into even more tears, realizing that one of our most precious roses has left us…..so I look away.

My mind flashes to the time when I shook hands with Jasmine at A-kon….every movement was precise and graceful, and he took my hand with a gentle graceful force and shook it, saying the words “Thank you”. His presence, his actions, his appearance…I want to remember Jasmine You that way.

Goodbye….Jasmine You….

No way…I’m so shocked and incredibly sad…This can’t be!!

this is so sad.. TT^TT
i regret never being to a Versailles live, i never got the chance…
they never came to thailand…
and now it might be too late TT^TT

it just feels so strange, out of no where there was this news about jasmine you, and i read somewhere that the illness he had was common and cureable, so this was a real suprise…

i already miss him soo much….
he was so elegant and such a skilled bassist
and i heard he was a very nice guy…

I am dumbfounded. I just found out about them early this year and Jasmine You has always stood out to me more than the rest. He has been taken away from us too soon.

Goodbye Jasmine You.

Well I never seen Versailles live, only on posted youtube movies (it’s not real, I know). It’s hard to understand that a young person dies. When I was young I always thought that dying was something for older people. But I don’t believe that anymore after I saw young people around me die. Also the death of bassist Jasmine You is a big example that it’s unfortunaly not only for old people.

Jasmine You rest in peace!

I remember when I met/saw him at A-kon in 2008. Even sitting behind the table for autographs he was so elegant. The way he signed things, the way he smiled and daintily shook your hand. it was all so graceful and like everything had a meaning to him, especially when the fans thanked him. It's impossible NOT to love him. He's definitely going to be missed and we're all going to cry… but Jasu wouldn't want his precious fans to cry. We gotta put smiles on our faces and just keep his memory alive in our hearts. <3 He's gonna keep his eyes on all of us from the other side until we can all meet again in the future, that I'm sure of.

Sadly I never had a chance to see them live. However I loved there music. You will be missed very much.

I saw Versailles when they played in concert @ the Knitting Factory in Hollywood, CA. Me, my brother, and my best friend were so saddened when we heard the news yesterday. We had such a great time seeing him perform. He was so beautiful and talented. At the concert, he came over to me and my group where we standing to the side of the stage in a corner and blew kisses at us, waved, and did a little curtsy. He was so nice and sweet, I will truly miss him *a tear*

rip jasmine….

rip jasmine….

Thank you~

i’ve been crying for two days now :(
i just can’t get him off my mind..
i miss Jasmine!!
</3

You're lucky you got to see him play live. I now realize how lucky I was to see Versailles in Tokyo…

Awwww these made me smile… thank you so much for finding these. :)

I still can't believe that he's gone. ;A; I keep crying. T^T

I still can’t believe that he’s gone. ;A; I keep crying. T^T

I remember learning the news of Jasmine You being in poor health, and I remember wishing he would get better, and I thought I knew he would. I thought to myself, “He'll be better soon. There's nothing to worry about.” A few days later, I was with family and received a text from my friend telling me Jasmine had passed on. I went into a state of shock and couldn't believe it. I refused to, and still do a little. My mom kept asking me what was wrong, because I had burst into tears. I just ran to my room and went to the website.

Even now, after all this time, after seeing this, after seeing the website, after talking about other fans about this great loss, I still cant believe that a rose has withered and gone to a better place.

I've been listening to their music over and over again, and watching interviews, and every time I see him, I can't help but start crying.

I think back now to A-kon 2008 and how excited I was to be in the second row of bodies, crushed in front, with all of Versailles in front of me. Jasmine You was absolutely amazing on stage. It was my first concert, and my second con. I remember waking up at 7am to be one of the firsts in line for the autographing the next morning after staying up until 2am. When the band walked before all of us anxious, awaiting fans, it was a breath taking, heart stopping moment. Jasmine You looked so elegant, graceful, and beautiful. It was hard to believe that when I shook his hand and foolishly said “hello” in English out of my nervousness, after repeating in my head to speak in Japanese, that he smiled so warmly, shook my hand softly, and said “hello” and “Thank you” right back in English. I wanted to faint… -laughs softly to self-

It's just so hard to believe that he's gone now…. I almost refuse to accept it…. Hopefully this Sunday when me and some friends get together for a make-shift service, it will help us all.

Also, if anyone would like to join us, we are holding it in Zilker Park, Austin, Texas starting at 3pm. It's something purely for the fans, by the fans, to celebrate Jasmine You's life and memory.

Who will take over Versailles bassist? I hope thats person can play n be like JASMINE….

awww :(

T__T I saw news the morning he died and I was notified by my friend as soon as I got off work. I was so sad, I was very depressed and couldn't focus on my work for 2 days >_> I'm still melancholy about it but I do feel that he is with us in spirit. He is still the beautiful rose that we all knew and loved him for (and still do).
However, I unfortunately live in the US and was not able to see him live during the rare occasion.
I did, however, make a tribute video for him and posted it on YouTube the day he died. But it didn't go through until a little after 12 AM, so the date posted says August 9th.

Rest In Peace Jasmine
we will always remeber you

It's devastating to hear that Jasmine You has passed away. My deepest condolences to Jasmine You's family and to the band. It's sad that he has left us so soon, but there's no doubt in my mind that we'll meet him again some day.

Rest in peace, Jasmine You

I’ll keep his loved ones in my thoughts.

A beautiful rose
What more is there to offer
A withered rose now..

Jasmine You keep playing your music in the afterlife

I never got the chance to see them live, but I greatly admire all of their skills. Jasmine will always be my favorite bassist for J rock and all other music. He will be missed by us all.

I wish I had seen this band live. I have been in love with their music since I first heard “the Revenant Choir”, which not only remains to be one of my favorite songs, but I find it has a new meaning… and is now so much clearer. Jasmine was one of my favorite musicians, and his death breaks my heart. I’m repainting my room, and I was going to go with a purple-silver-black color scheme anyways. Now, I will decorate with roses as well.

“Without you [You?], will be gone… far away.”
My prayers to his family and remaining band members. Jasmine You still holds a special spot in my heart and will not easily be forgotten. He had a special feeling towards his fans, and I think that little love will be amplified back to him, where ever he may be now.

It’s only today that i’ve known he died.
Versailles is one of my favourite band and even my mom like there music and jasmine is her fav. she’s always telling how elegant he is,etc..

I’ve never been to there concert as i am from mauritius but i have always told myself that one day i’ll travel and go to one of there concert to be able to see jasmine in real as well as the rest of the band but now i know it will never happen.

It’s been so long since i last listen to there song, so today i thought i’ll see one of there vid on youtube but what i saw was something totally different.
I didn’t expect that and i still can’t accept it.
It just feel so sudden.
I can’t even cry, am just too shocked.

I still can’t believe that after all of this, he had to die like this.

All i can say right now is that he will be dearly missed and will forever stay in our heart.

But i still can’t believe that he is gone.
Love you.
Rest in piece.

omg he was so my favorite. my friend told mea bout the death a few weeks ago and i broke down and cryed. and as i read this i was crying more

I can hardly believe it.. This news shock me.. I will miss this guy a lot.. He did all his passions to Versailles.. He’s my hero..

The urgent bulletin states that the as soon as his family is notified, more details will be reported to fans. Understandably, Versailles’ touring and recording activities will be postponed for the time being salad spinner.

i’ve never met him as i have never been to a live consert before, but hearing that he has died still has upset me i never knew he was ill, but when i have watched there video’s online i have always loved jasmines dresses they are so big and frillyXD

Omg, I just still cant believe it. I saw and met versailles last year, and I thought Jasmine was amazing, and he was a great guy, and now this…. He was taken so soon. Way to soon in his case. R.I.P

ii just found out now that he died.
im shocked… i cant describe it.
i feel horrible… how could i not know this!?!??

My breath has stoped when i found out… And i was listening to “Serenade” by Versailles…. I just started crying… even if i didn’t knew Jasmine for a long time… It was just SAD … IT IS
