    two years have passed since his death and only this summer to hear back concegui versailles.
    for two years I was unable to listen to rock or metal as I remembered him and cried, the idea of versilles without it existed for me.
    was a long period of mourning but finlmente overcame, and I still cry sometimes with serenaide, but now I can be myself again.
    and I can say that even without it the Versailles continue, the bassist Masashi is an excellent and fits in versailles mayor.
    I hope to continue like this for years and years and maybe one day my dream to meet them can take place.
