04. MEMORIES (music: Kaz, lyrics: Hyde)
05. EUPHORIA (music and lyrics: Hyde)

12. SAMSARA (music: Kaz, lyrics: Hyde)
13. MY FIRST LAST (music and lyrics: Hyde)

Seems interesting ...glad they at least somewhat abandoned the cheesy Vampire thing. Piano Duet sounds like it'll be one of those typical Visual Kei-like piano songs that everything always calls "AMAZING" and "SO BEAUTIFUL <3" and that I'll just find boring though XD.

Curious about the album tracks!

i dunno, i think HYDE could pass for a girl in that promo pic, LOL. :laugh maybe it's the outfit and his hair :P

anyway, awesome titles. SAMSARA reminds me of mika's SAMSARA photobook.

Exactly my thought lol

I'll try this album out, but I don't like anything by VAMPS o.O so I don't think I will like this album, sadly :no but I must stay positive!

I can't wait 4 the cover

ANGEL TRIP @ HAPPY MUSIC:

Sorry but HAPPY MUSIC is MUSIC FIGHTER ??? or is another TV Show???

I'm glad HYDE composed more songs in the new album. Still, KAZ composed more.... so i'm not sure waht to think. I dont know why, but I always felt KAZ's compositions never really suited HYDE's voice for some reason...

@mi|kshake: Couldn't agree more!! Scarecrow was one of the BEST rock ballads ever, IMO.

Well, he (almost) always does, actually. :innocent

yea, it was previously MUSIC FIGHTER, but now they changed the title and format to HAPPY MUSIC instead :yes

i hardly ever thought HYDE looks like a girl, even when he has longer hair! i only think it from looking at that promo pic specifically (and his currently look in general). i don't really like it. :no he looks much better when he's in L'Arc~en~Ciel, IMO.

BEAST TOUR GOODS
http://www.official-store.jp/vamps/

so..2 new PVs?

i actually think the cover is cool. it's different than the single covers at least :yes

new song

Eww, don't really like the cover... But I'm glad there are 2 new PVs :)
MEMORIES sounds good!

The cover just screams "TOO LAZY TO THINK OF SOMETHING INTERESTING GUYZ LOL PLUS IT COSTS MONEY".

You can call it "arty". I just call it "lazy and cheap" : P

2 new pvs, yay!!!!!
And the cover is original and weird, i like it!!!

Thanks Beauty for your answer

Those "fingers" on the cover are HUGE.... and very odd O_o VAMPS is weird XD

links are up to preorder TETSUYA's new solo single Looking For Light

CDJapan stated it's a catchy pop tune hmm :O

Catchy pop tune? Sounds good to me. He's got some good pop songs but nothing as good as his L'Arc pop tunes like Dive To Blue. I want some pop greatness Tetsuya!

For those who want to listen to them:
VAMP ADDICTION
REVOLUTION
EUPHORIA
THE PAST

wow, it leaked so fast! honestly, i love every one of these songs soooo much more than DEVIL SIDE and ANGEL TRIP (but those songs did grow on me eventually :yes) my favorites are THE PAST and REVOLUTION (HYDE's screaming in the beginning kinda scared me..:laugh).

TETSUYA

VAMPS
REVOLUTION and MY FIRST LAST most exotic songs %) can't wait for PVs

OMG I LOVE REVOLUTION :heart
I like the scream on the beginning :laugh
And the cover for Beast is so lazy :P

The album has leaked (in LQ).
My favorite tracks so far are REVOLUTION, MY FIRST LAST, PIANO DUET and THE PAST <3 SAMSARA is only an interlude :(

Tetsu's promo pic is funky! I like it :D

As for BEAST, I'd rather wait for the HQ leak. I'm really excited now! I had the time yesterday and I heard the DEVIL SIDE and ANGEL TRIP for the first time and WOW man, I was completely blown away!!! Now THAT is rock and thank God its not cheesy woot!

Yeah sorta. But you have to admit, pink really suits him :heart

VAMPS will be performing next Fri on MUSIC STATION

BREAKERZ's guitarist SHINPEI bought both DEVIL SIDE & ANGEL TRIP singles & he blogged about it today x)

http://img.yaplog.jp/img/02/pc/b/r/z...pei/2/2004.jpg

http://yaplog.jp/brzshinpei/archive/1287

go Shinpi , go Shinpi <3

so i heard the whole album this morning, and i LOVE it. like, i really do love it, haha. REVOLUTION, RAMBLE, MEMORIES (it's like the 2nd EVANESCENT for me, just more upbeat :P), GET UP, and THE PAST are my absolutely favorite album tracks. for singles though, between the 2 singles, i prefer ANGEL TRIP and it's really grown on me. MY FIRST LAST is my least favorite song, but it's a different kind of sound for VAMPS, i guess...? :P

but overall, it beats out their debut album by a long shot. :cool

....now after this album, HYDE, please go back to L'Arc~en~Ciel, okay? :laugh

Judging from the short snippets I heared, I think this album is a lot better than their debut album.

I'm not listening to it in full until I can listen to it in HQ though.

Beauty4123 you have RUMBLE? can you upload?
I downloaded album without this song

i didn't download the album...i just heard it all on youtube for now :P

here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2aSOKw9c5k

i just realized i wrote RAMBLE in my post instead of RUMBLE..oops.

anyway, thanks

Yes please XD

I only listened some songs on youtube until now, and I won't listen the full album in LQ :P

Big project coming ?

http://listentheworld.files.wordpres...pg?w=450&h=252

On this newspaper dated 25th June , the headline on the paper reads “LUNA SEA, GLAY, L’ARC” and “Historical Collaboration, big project underway.”

O_O O_O O_O

omg I'm really intrigued & this will be something BIG indeed to look out for since I do listen to GLAY's music

LUNA SEA no but I should xD

I think all Jack in the box is 'Historical Collaboration'

Oh I respect GLAY *eventhough I only listened to one album :laugh*
this is gonna be interesting :D

Hmm.... this Historical collab better be good. Because for all we know, it cud be just one tiny performance :P

Yep me too. But I'm REALLY excited after hearing the critique so far (and their latest singles).

i hope this collaboration will be released as a single. even though i really only care about laruku :laugh

I'm interested. Not too excited. Supergroups tend to fail and fail hard.

[BANG ON STOMP EVERYBODY] ~~~~

I seriously LOVE that song. It's so extremely catchy XD

I love the song too, my favorite with MY FIRST LAST <3
The video is nice but a bit weird :laugh

Can't wait to see the PV for MFL <3

omg a REVOLUTION PV?! that's a must watch. :dead2

after hearing MY FIRST LAST, now i wish it wasn't getting a PV, lol. i don't like it so much :P

Same here! I'd rather have a PV for the Past. I LOVE that song.

My fav. song too!!!
The pv is great and weird

OMG there's a PV for My First Last? Maybe I should order the CD + DVD version sometime, but it's so expensive on YA!

mi|kshake~

watched the REVOLUTION PV earlier. and omg it's hilarious! :laugh i couldn't stop laughing while watching, lol. those marching chickens just crack me up! :roflmao it was such an awesome video. the song is still amazing!

it's so cheap on HMV! I bought it just for 2800 yen

Streaming of MEMORIES on MUSIC STATION

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA7hA...layer_embedded

^ It was pretty nice. MEMORIES is a great song, I'm glad they performed it :)
I really don't like HYDE with this blond hair though -_-

blonde doesn't look good in hyde , dude please bring back the normal black colour you're known for T_T -_-

Sorry for saying this, but blonde Hyde is even gheyer than normally. I constantly want to show my non j-rock friends a Vamps PV but Hyde is making it really hard for them to focus on the music, not him XD

i actually got a bit used to his blonde hair by now, lol. i thought he looked good in the MUSIC STATION performance (which is awesome, btw :D) but i still prefer him with brown or black hair, i guess. like his look in MY HEART DRAWS A DREAM, DAYBREAK'S BELL, and even SEASON'S CALL. he looked perfect in those videos :heart

he looks older with that hair, and the performance was great

^that's normal. He's not a young guy

but for someone who's...40? i can't keep track of his age :laugh he still looks great. :lech

yeah & hyde's married somemore with a kid D:

it's not fair , he's in the same wavelength as B'z's frontman Koshi

both of them are in their 40's , married & have kids but they look next to nothing like one :grumpy xD

MY FIRST LAST PV

PV for Ken's Solitary Stroll which's a song taken from his The Party mini album

http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...ary-stroll-pv/

don't really like the PV or the song (MY FIRST LAST). but it's okay, i still love the rest of the album :P

I don't like the song, but the pv is great

^ much better than Roulette <3
I like Ken's solitary stroll too. His vocals improved a lot!

i love LOOKING FOR LIGHT! the PV is pretty cool, too. although the location of where this PV was shot looks strangely familiar to me. i think this is also where nami tamaki's Realize PV was shot...

I'm not sure why all 3 were doing there though , I know DAIGO mentioned something about this last night on his blog

something about fliming for a variety show ? :O

lol tetsu's face is like "whaaaat?!" :roflmao

LOL. i really adore the relationship between tetsu & TMR. it's so cute. :P hopefully TMR can persuade tetsu to get a twitter. :innocent

Thanks! Looking forward to it ^^

Replace KAZ with Gackt and you've got a KILLER collab!

Still need to check out the new PVs but am not getting the time these days.

That's really great! Was NOT expecting that! By the looks of things this album will sell just as much as their first one ... considering the fact that the singles for this one didn't do as well or the fact that the "new wow factor" is kinda gone I thought it wouldn't do as well.

Good to know they still like them ^^

it's sad that they are only #2

i'm satisfied with #2, but i hope it'll sell much more than their first album, since i like BEAST much better. :P

I received my BEAST copy yesterday and I scanned the booklet (only the new pictures actually)
