i'm just so touched by Kamijo, i know him since Lareine and follow him over the years, and yes, he has changed a LOT his vocal techniques. He started very nasal and in the most of the songs, singing from the throat, but now he use his diaphragm and the nasal voice has disappeared completely, which shows us his great dedication on what he does. I loved his old style, and i love his new style even more.
we were just talking about this with a friend. i cant but keep coming here. After Kamijo's BEL AIR from MALICE MIZER cover. such not similar style song for Kamijo to Cover he made it work He is so proffesional now in his singing. but cant help but come back here. I love LAREINE's Kamijo voice i feel like im 12 and i made eye contact with someone i like
Vale Gory: thank you for your explanation! I've only gotten into Versailles a few months ago, but haven't listened yet to earlier versions of the band, with some of the members in each. The voice surprised me; I knew it was Kamijo, but it didn't sound like him! What you said explains it very well, and of course it it makes sense that he would've continued to work, expand, and improve his voice and singing style. Singers who sing from the throat generally wind up damaging their vocal cords later; I pray that Kamijo will be well and safe for years to come, delighting us all.
I've never blatantly been a LAREINE fan but I'll never really get over how Kamijo just... understood the assignment goddammit! His aesthetic vision of his persona is so perfect he's almost the summum of a VK artist
I really loved this Kamijo when he was in Lareine, his voice was very unique. unfortunately many people only know about Kamijo because he is the singer of Versailles and not know that many years ago he was part of one of the greatest japanese bands. I still miss Lareine, It was a really good band and one of my favorite ones.
First song I've heard by Lareine. As die-hard fan of Versailles, I have to say... Kamijo's voice!!!! It's so different and young here. His voice has matured so much since then, it's a total powerhouse now. I didn't recognise it at first XD
This type of music is timeless, brings back memories of '08, his voice is much softer than in versailles Dit soort muziek is tijdloos, brengt herinneringen terug aan '08,zijn stem klinkt veel zachter dan in Versailles
First time I watched this PV was in 2004 on TV where there was a TV programme dedicated to Japanese pop culture. I can't believe how fast times goes by, but I still listen to Lareine like the first time.
tono diferente de voz es muy bonita... esta es muy tierna expresa lo que QUIERE con sus canciones muy pero que muy lindo Kamijo, siempre será el príncipe de las rosas
hiiiiiiiiiiiiii this artist I really love it and every time I look at another of his videos do not really ceases to amaze me I love its unique style and I think it incomparable with any other artist of his genre seriously their fans one........ jajaj but won thanks to lower your video I love his voice aaaaaaaah........ that is beautiful
Kamijo's Lareine voice is an acquired taste, but not bad. More delicate. His voice in Versailles is obviously lower and easier on the ear. I like both. It wouldn't have sounded as good or went along with the theme if he used his Lareine voice in Versailles (or vice versa). I agree with earlier comments though. In Versailles' later songs (after Jasmine died) Kamijo's voice changed. He's trying too hard... And the smoking isn't helping either >_>
It's snowing so I had to watch this... Kamijo sang higher on studio recordings during Lareine. But he would change the key in concert and you can hear it clearly on Lareine's live videos. His singing didn't really change that much for Versailles, it's just that this was the first time he showed it outside of a live setting.
A friend sent me this link, after seeing Kamijo I started looking everywhere for the band. I'm a big fan of Lareine! I like his new band as well ^_^ Kamijo is so Beauitful! My sister and I both think he looks like a mix between Lestat from Interview with the Vampire and Rosiel from Angel Sanctuary. Sorry if this bugs anyone but thats only our option. “Kamijo is my prince charming. Marry me Kamijo!”
Ah, I love this song! And Kamijo was so beautiful here! I love his style, voice, makeup, hair . . . I prefer this look very much to his Versailles one. But I still love him the same! ^_^
omg, kamijo rocks, he is still able to sing like that even today, amazing wen he sang his ballad at the Knitting Factory in LA. i was there!!!! =P, Versailles was great!!
i actually like the different styles of kamijo, both with their own unique qualities, he did get better at singing and it shows in Versaiiles. his voice didnt really mature, he just decided to sing with a deeper voice.
Lareine was a band of love and passion... couldn't agree more. There's something about Lareine that even in my head I think that this guy sang like an okama and the lyrics are often cheap, but in the back of my heart I was touched by their passion.
This is such an old comment but I chuckled cause I came back to this song after years because it popped up in my head several mornings in a row before I even opened my eyes as I woke. A heavenly sound between sleep and consciousness?
@liaalixx And probably, is about technique too..On versailles he use more technique and more influence of Classical way to sing...He become more mature on his own way to sing and the way to use his voice...And he was more younger too..you are right,
Kamijo's voice sounds very different in a laraine, he can grow older with voice over the years and get denser in versais sounds a lot different and has a density in his voice!
Kamijo and Ruki two of my favourite voices in visual kei could not sing well in the old days lol. But their improvement is inspiring. My voice sounds as good Kamijos in this song lol maybe I can get better too.
@Zeltic3 Go to the bonjourhoney forums website, then under Lareien, then under lyrics translations. There are links to sites with translations. The altervista one has Metamorphose in English.
@mrPuppetear this was Kamijo's first band, and Versailles is the third... The second was New Sodmy, dont know if you knew, but if you dont, check it out, is very very good
@VisualKeiMonster The term "Visual Kei" is actually believed to have come from X-Japan's album cover "Blue Blood" which said : "PSYCHEDELIC VIOLENCE: CRIME OF VISUAL SHOCK". To say that VK was founded by western bands is... inaccurate, but it's easy to understand why would you think so.
I always wondered how low-voiced Vesailles!Kamijo could sing with a band like this... Now I know that Lareine!Kamijo doesn't sound like the new one at all... And he even got his teeth fixed! Drummer's awesome.

14 years later and im still watching lol
Same here.
me too
Jonny Snipes me too!
😆 Me Too.. (15 Years Now)...
The song is from 1998, though :)
I've never blatantly been a LAREINE fan but I'll never really get over how Kamijo just... understood the assignment goddammit!
His aesthetic vision of his persona is so perfect he's almost the summum of a VK artist
いつ聴いても胸が締め付けられるくらいの神曲だ
Kamijo's voice fit him back then, as his current voice fits him now. It got lower even after Versailles.
I really loved this Kamijo when he was in Lareine, his voice was very unique. unfortunately many people only know about Kamijo because he is the singer of Versailles and not know that many years ago he was part of one of the greatest japanese bands. I still miss Lareine, It was a really good band and one of my favorite ones.
Kamijo is the prince of our hearts
This is a masterpiece
Indeed
Oh, it's you again. This is my favorite Lareine song. I can't get bored of that chorus!
I concord.
Kamijo's voice has changed a lot. Love it then and now. Just shows how much he's grown as an artist. Yet always so beautiful and elegant.
Don't think Kamijo's voice has changed so much as he is singing lower pitched nowadays.
But he's cool, no matter how he's singing.
personaly I prefer Kamijo's voice during his "lareine period" he aspect more sentiments in his voice it's so beautiful!!
are you still alive?
First song I've heard by Lareine. As die-hard fan of Versailles, I have to say... Kamijo's voice!!!! It's so different and young here. His voice has matured so much since then, it's a total powerhouse now. I didn't recognise it at first XD
he actually fakes a baritone, hes a tenor here, but fakes a baritone for his songs in versailles, to fit the songs more.
OMG. I didn't notice he's Kamijo until I read the comments. The voice and the look is very different from Versailles xD
Oh my freaking word!! LOL! I didn't know that was kamijo as well until I read YOUR comment!! LOL!!
Kamijo looks like Kate Winslet lmao (4:26)
It's been so many years, and I still sing those songs with all my heart.
Lareine was the first Visual Kei bad I ever listened to but I didn't quite like it... now I've come back and I'm in love
This type of music is timeless, brings back memories of '08, his voice is much softer than in versailles
Dit soort muziek is tijdloos, brengt herinneringen terug aan '08,zijn stem klinkt veel zachter dan in Versailles
What a transient and fragil beauty! Kamijo's an angel and now turned in to a vampire ;)
I listen to this everyday and I never get annoyed of it:(. This song is priceless to me
First time I watched this PV was in 2004 on TV where there was a TV programme dedicated to Japanese pop culture. I can't believe how fast times goes by, but I still listen to Lareine like the first time.
Quien en 2024 escuchando esta hermosa cancion❤
I always come back every now and then, I love this song. It reminds me many things, back in the old good days :)
I'm a new fan, his voice is so original and unique. I absolutely loved it and he's beautiful at the same time.
Metamorphose
I love kamijo i listen him music from 2020 with Versailles 💖😍💕
とても切ない😢😢😢気持ちが出ていますね😢😢😢😮😮😮
THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD-LOOKING
Que estupendos ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ tantos años desde esta canción ❤
tono diferente de voz es muy bonita... esta es muy tierna expresa lo que QUIERE con sus canciones muy pero que muy lindo Kamijo, siempre será el príncipe de las rosas
I'm 14 again:]
i love both versions of kamijo, it was cool wen he performed a song from lareine(ano hito ...) in last year's concert in L.A., Cali..beautiful
Lareine Época que o kamijo prestava...

@@natsuvinn realmente. como falar mal de versailles ou da carreira solo dele

time flies so fast
素敵すぎる
Gosh, I was so obsessed with Lareine like 10 years ago. It's great to hear it again, ^_^
hiiiiiiiiiiiiii this artist I really love it and every time I look at another of his videos do not really ceases to amaze me I love its unique style and I think it incomparable with any other artist of his genre seriously their fans one........ jajaj but won thanks to lower your video I love his voice aaaaaaaah........ that is beautiful

STILL LISTENING IN 2018
He looks so beautiful *-*
Kamiijo is absolutely fabulous! *___*
oji-samaaaaaa *-* its lovelyyy!!!!1

i love this song.. iv already found myself huming it sub-consiously in the mornings xP

i love kamijo now in versailles as the vocalist and still and always be awsome yay

Instant goosebumps
Beautiful song...
Kamijo and Ruki two of my favourite voices in visual kei could not sing well in the old days lol. But their improvement is inspiring. My voice sounds as good Kamijos in this song lol maybe I can get better too.
I did the same thing. I wasn't used to their eclectic sound, but now I am and I love it ^^
Temazo
amo esta cancion x3
@xNexasx i agree with u ... but then again seeing this side of kajimo is incredible as well
@Rawfies yes, they are. actually the singer is also the singer from versailles
Unforgettable ❤️

@mrPuppetear this was Kamijo's first band, and Versailles is the third...
The second was New Sodmy, dont know if you knew, but if you dont, check it out, is very very good
I just heard this band, I love it
@MurderAtNight Yeah thank you! I checked them out and liked them both!
Quite ironic though that the band's main song is titled "dress" ... haha
Very aesthetically pleasing~
:3
So beautiful!! They're all so gorgeous!! I think Kamijo's singing with Versailles is more amazing, but this is still pretty awesome.
im dying!!! amazing!!! SOLO FOR THE WIN!!! EVEYONE AMAZING!! BASS..GUITAR..DRUS..VOCOLS!!
this song is awesome.
He IS the leadsinger from Versailles...
They even played this song at them concert in Paris!
17 лет прошло... Это видео старше меня на год..
