If they were going for covers, I wish they'd done a different song... it sounds sorta... weird... to me >_> But anyway, that's just my opinion and I hope other people enjoy it more

NEWS: VAMPS will be at MUSIC STATION next Friday.

Official Tour announcement by Hyde and KAZ, from the official Vamprose YT channel:

VAMPS - VAMPS LIVE 2009 U.S.A. Announcement

Wow Hyde's english has improved SO much! Ok, he spoke super simple sentences, but still... It's noticeable if you've heard his english through the years.

KAZ looks amazingly energetic, huh?

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #12 on:** June 13, 2009, 02:55:01 PM »

They're like L'Arc with a bit more edge.

Why are they playing a couple Warped Tour dates? haha An arena rock band on a "punk rock" tour?

And I just watched a show at the Wiltern the other day. Probably won't see them though, tickets are way too much for me.

But good luck Rei-chan, that's awesome!

daigong · « **Reply #13 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:35:30 AM »

We’re going to have a bunch of tickets to give away so heads up and wanted to share the wealth with our HiPstaz.

I plan to go to the San Diego July 29th concert if one of my friends is willing to go too. Wondering who else is in San Diego maybe we can hit up some food before heading off to the concert.

Rei-chan · « **Reply #18 on:** July 14, 2009, 04:32:40 AM »

^ I'm so glad to see them back into real J-rock and not doing more techno-rock for now

I love it!
