Japanese visual-kei artist KAMIJO reimagines French history with a vampiric twist in new single
released a new single called "TEMPLE -Blood sucking for praying-" on Wednesday as the first of his epic three-partThe former frontman of visual-kei bandshas established himself as a unique solo artist who combines music and creative storytelling to produce his distinctively decadent aesthetic. Back in March, he made a longtime dream come true by collaborating with an orchestra onstage.
The names of my former bands were LAREINE , meaning "the queen" in French, and Versailles. When I started my solo career in 2013, I considered what I should sing about as a solo artist and came to the conclusion that I wanted to continue featuring subjects related to French history as my theme. And the person in French history that I currently wanted to sing about and express was Louis XVII.
The Count of St. Germain -- who also appears in my story as someone who has lived 4,000 years and knows the past and future -- is considered to be one of the most enigmatic figures in European history. The lyrics in "TEMPLE -Blood sucking for praying-" are mostly in English except for the one sentence: "Utsukushii naraba sorede iijanai!" . Could you share why you chose to do this?
"Conspiracy" is set in modern-day U.S.A., and the anecdote that the Count of St. Germain was involved in the founding of the country is linked to it. In this story, St. Germain and Louis XVII are trying to spread a new type of energy system called the "Émigré System" that uses human blood to generate electricity. They face various organizations and conspiracies during that process and a scene from that is expressed in "Conspiracy.
