seriously, i haven't watched anything l'arc in awhile, so i thought HYDE was TOO HOT in the PV :smitten

I like Trouble actually. Not as much as I GOTTA KICK START NOW, but it's an awesome cover, considering the original song was just darn WEEEIRD!!! Hyde can do no wrong, seriously!!

You can download I GOTTA KICK START NOW & Deeper PVs via http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86589 & http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=86590 respectively

It was!! Wonder when they will release the DVD and if they will even release one just of the Paris show. With their DVD prices and the credit crunch though, I can wait a bit longer.

Deeper is better than the Vamps songs IMO!

Vamps TROUBLE PV:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-xVTw_PZLc

yeah I know Alicia , I was quite shocked when I went onto CDJapan's site just now

I was like again ? & where's a new L'arc single when you need it ? T_T :grumpy

^Laruku = hiatus :weep

I liked the Trouble PV! Hyde looked hot in some parts!! But man, I wanted to murder that woman! :irked

*cries* :weep

did the guys mentioned how long L'arc's on hiatus Alicia ?

it's not that hiatus until 2011 is it? :scry

WHAT

I hope it wouldn't be that long T_T

guess I got onto L'arc music quite late bah

so did i! i only got into them during SEVENTH HEAVEN :weep

I'm worst , after NEXUS 4 / SHINE was released :dead2

& oh talking about SEVENTH HEAVEN , I love it that it was played at the beginning of KAT-TUN's cartoon KAT-TUN show 2 years ago when Junno was introducing about them & hyde & Ken came on the show

it's great to see both guys interacting with KT & I never know hyde loves Doraemon so much so that he thought he was gonna be the next voice actor after the original voice actress retired :laugh

has this been posted before ?

scans of Hyde is Dead photobook - http://aanjali.livejournal.com/45181.html

Ken's Deeper debuted at #7 with 23,581 - http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/w/

a nice top10 position for him :yes

ken did pretty good :yes i'm kinda surprised, lol.

Chronicle 4 CM Making - http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...e-4-cm-making/

Uhhhh.... 23k? That's it? I thought he would do better this time :(

well Alicia at least it's a top10 status which's good considering probably not a lot of people know that his new solo material's out

have you guys seen this ?

http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...al-larcenciel/

wow :thud

I understand that. But what really ticks me off is that most Laruku fans refuse to listen/ buy releases of any of the Laruku solo artists except for Hyde. I mean, it's as if the other band members can't survive without him!! What crap!!!

unfortunately but true

people can be quite shallow sometimes

^ Yup. Pretty shallow. :( It's just not fair on any of the band members (well except Hyde that is :P) Anyways, I wonder where Yuki and Tetsu are.... it's like they've totally disappeared. But according to Gocha Maze! (that radio show tetsu always stars in), he's supposedly working on something O_o Cool!!

VAMPS New Single [EVANESCENT]
3rd Single [EVANESCENT]

DVD/PV [EVANESCENT]，making of

CD XNVP-00008 1,000(tax in）
CD/1.EVANESCENT　 2.LIFE ON MARS?

OMG @ track 2!!! It's probably a cover of David Bowie's song!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueUOTImKp0k

EVANESCENT? please give me something similiar to SEASON'S CALL :weep but it's impossible, i know, lol. all VAMPS keep doing is pop rock songs. i want something more rock-ish.

^ I want a song like I Can Feel or Perfect Moment :(

Actually, EVANESCENT sounds like a rock ballad to me. (or maybe taht's cause the name is similar to the band EVANESCENCE? :dead2) I doubt it's going to be another pop-ish sounding song. Though I really want another ballad sung by Hyde, something surreal, like finale or ALONE EN LA VIDA. :yes

VAMPS is touring USA :D - http://listentheworld.wordpress.com/...ica-tour-2009/

seriously?! are they coming to NY, lol.

tour dates & etc are not updated yet , Lisa

maybe soon ? :shrug

OH MY OVARIES. O_O;;

i hope VAMPS comes to OC, haha! hyde came to Disneyland's House of Blues as a solo act, but i missed it because at that time...i didn't have a credit card or form of payment, LOL.

I WANNA GO~! :D

Darn... Americans are so lucky! :irked

You guys might want this. It's Hyde's English version of Glamorous Sky (from his best album that just came out. Debuted @ #2!! Under BoA's album, of course)

^ i was always under the impression that your also from the US! :laugh

^Lol. Me? No way!!! I haven't even been there!!! I'm pure Asian blood :D

really Alicia ? then where are you residing in ?

So are they stopping by a city near you ? :eyebrow

UGHHHHHHH NO ORANGE COUNTY DATES?! :grumpy

*grumbles* so i guess....either Los Angeles or San Diego for me. i have to see if my financial situation gets better though. other fandoms are sucking my moniez dry.

lol at least you'll be able to see VAMPS perform somehow or another Eirynne unlike me :(

is LA / San Diego near where you're staying or hell no ? :shrug

both LA & SD take...maybe an hour or so (Orange County is right smack in the middle of Los Angeles County & San Diego County). it depends cuz i dunno where the venues are, lol. & there's the issue of freeway congestion traffic too, which is always gross when you're driving.

i was hoping for another Downtown Disney performance or something. cuz that's honestly like 20 minutes away from me. xD (& i would probably go to Disneyland too since it's like....right next to it, lol)

Here's a short comment VAMPS made about their America tour. OMG @ Hyde's Engrish!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK1NsTxZX48

ll moments ll I have to drive 1000 km to get to the Girugamesh concert... And VAMPS will perform near you town... One hour... that's really very close

aqua_crystal that's funny )

"How do you think?" You agree with me? :laugh

VAMPS' EVANESCENT cover...
http://img19.picoodle.com/img/img19/...tm_4f9f523.jpg

Same cover for both editions.

Why have they always that kind of cover? That's so ugly =x

T_T

you should ask the person who designed all of VAMPS's singles & album cover so far

they should shoot the person in charge over these covers :eviltongu

yes that too

who's going to create a new L'arc thread btw ? :innocent

hmm....i gotta go now, but i could do it tomorrow sometime? :D if no one else wants to make it, lol.

but if anyone can make it, feel free to :yes

(btw karen, i seriously didn't forget the file you wanted me to upload! do you still need it? i can definately upload it tomorrow if you still need it)

I think Alicia is the best person to do so , so I guess let her do it :D

LOL , actually Eirynne helped me out with that a few days ago so it's fine :yes

you don't need to help me to do that already :cool

haha okay! i'm really sorry for being lazy :P

okay sure! alicia, we're counting on you! :mischief
