JUBILEE is Versailles' first major album, released on January 20th, 2010. It was meant to be released on September 16th 2009, but was postponed due to the sudden passing of bassist Jasmine You. The missing bass lines were recorded by HIZAKI.

Vocalist Kaya, close friend of Versailles members, appears on the album providing backing vocals as a guest on the tracks 愛と哀しみのノクターン and Catharsis.
The limited edition comes in a special package with an extra 32 page booklet and liner notes written by Tsuchiya Kyousuke and Arasawa Junko from SHOXX. Also included in the limited edition is a bonus DVD featuring two music videos and behind the scenes footage of the videoclips.
