An exclusive preview single was sold at the concert to introduce Versailles' music.Versailles signed a deal with CLJ Records to release their music in Europe in late August, and the debut EP %22Lyrical Sympathy%22 hit the stores on Halloween 2007. The band toured Europe and the United States in Spring 2008 and eventually released the first album %22Noble%22 in July. The album was released in the United States using the alias %22Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet-%22, due to a legal issue with another artist called Versailles (2).

At the last gig of the tour it was announced that Versailles would go major with Warner Music Japan.

The exact cause of his death have never been revealed.Versailles then went on a break and came back with the release of the major debut album %22Jubilee%22 in January, 2010 and the announcement of a world tour with gigs in Europe and South America. Masashi, who served as support bassist for the whole tour, joined the band officially after the tour final gig at C.C. Lemon Hall on September 4, 2010.In 2013, the band went on a hiatus to take the time to find new ideas for the band.
