Well the 13th of March.

Im excited!

Official SITE:
http://www.vamprose.com/





also question both singles Label/Distributor: avex trax.


Vamps is on Avex?

Oooh Finally someone made a thread in this board for them, my thread in the general chat section was in the wrong place XD

So they're releasing something new?

yep.


I ordered love addict a few days ago. So im waiting for that to come either today or tomorrow.

i didn't know VAMPS is on avex. isn't L'Arc~en'Ciel and HYDE on sony?

anyway, i can't wait for the new single!

yep. Laruku is on sony. Vamps is on Avex

^^Yeah, but I thought "VAMPROSE" was a section of avex made especially for VAMPS???

Yaay!!! A VAMPS thread! Thanks for making one, Akurei!!

i thought VAMPROSE was under sony all this time :dead2 oh well, avex is still good, lol.

I bet Avex wont try that pushy crap on VAMPS! You avex has a nasty past of not caring about their artists much.


Also VAMPS are on the the CDjapan made page.


Well the front


http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/

I have a question :/
If they only have 4 songs how could they have a concert already?

I hope it's different from Love Addict. I'm surprised Hyde started up a new label under Avex rather than Sony. (Plus I preferred the name Haunted Records to Vamprose) Guess Avex are giving them more freedom or something>

EDIT: Can't wait to hear the live version of Glamorous Sky - hopefully I can catch it on Youtube before it's removed!

mi|kshake~

I'm so happy that they wrote so beautifull song =)
It really is very similar to Season's call =)

very very cool song!! I like it! But one again, the cover sucks >_<

i officially can't stop listening to EVANESCENT. this beats their last 2 singles by a long shot. probbably since HYDE wrote and composed the music instead of KAZ. the song is just beautiful :(

EVANESCENT
ここまで来たから心配しないで
ほら又夏へと向かって行くのが眩しい

あぁ、世界は風に揺れ
潤んだ雨の跡映しても
遠い日の影を僕は追い掛てる

エヴァネセント
素敵な記憶だけ残して行くから
あぁ、巡る季節にも
君の夢に居て戻れない
想い返す度痛み響くのに　　

照りつく陽が眩しいほどに
真黒に落ちた影は焼き付くのか

君が笑うから
永遠を口にせず抱きしめた
手が届かない方へ消えていかない様に

歳月は流れても止まない君の夢
夏へ向かって行くのは　何て眩しい

romanized by mykelty

Kokomade kitakara shinpai shinaide
Hora mata natsu e to mukatte iku no ga mabushii

Aa sekai wa kaze ni yure
Urunda amenoato utsushitemo
Tooi hi no kage wo boku wa oikaketeru

Evanescent
Sutekina kioku dake nokoshite iku kara
Aa meguru kisetsu ni mo
Kimi no yume ni ite modorenai
Omoikaesu tabi itami hibiku no ni

Teri tsuku hi ga mabushii hodo ni
Makkuro ni ochita kage wa yakitsuku no ka

Kimi ga warau kara
Eien wo kuchi ni sezu dakishimeta
Te ga todokanai hou e kiete ikanai youni

Saigetsu wa nagaretemo yamanai kimi no yume
Natsu e mukatte iku no wa nante mabushii

^Thanks LostHeaven for the PV and lyrics! :D I hope someone translates soon =/

I read translation only in Russian language. Can say that it's very beautiful song =)

Life on Mars? 45 sec preview
download
(c) vamprose

I love this song =) EVANESCENT will be great single

^OMG!!! Thanks so much LH!!! This is a hard song to sing, even for Hyde. I have my fingers crossed for this...

EDIT: Thier cover rocks!!!! I have neve seen Life on Mars? being covered like that. It was a risk VAMPS took, and unbelievably, it paid off!!

Is their band name "VAMPS" derived from "Vampire"?

Cus after looking at that new CD+DVD cover, it looks like it to me. ^^

LOL HYDE looks smoking in his ABS cosplay! :laugh and in all the other pics, too, of course. :smitten

and thanks for the MJ performance!

EVANESCENT single up :)

Thanks megumi for the link.

I'll be checking out this vampire duo's music, err... I mean vamp duo, lol. :laugh

VAMPS LIVE 2009 Tour Goods, credits to JPM:

Pringles %)

Yeah, the pringles can looks really interesting. I want one. *__*

Also, I like the keychains, they look so cool.

Woooo pringles!!!!!! I want the Hyde phone strap!!! :luv2

P.S: The single is awesome!

EDIT: Oh and rookies, of course "VAMPS" came from "Vampire". Watch the Love Addict PV and you'll see what I'm talking about. :D

^ Ok, thanks for telling me about the Vampire thingy. xD

I will check out that PV.

Wait, doesn't Mika Nakashima also have a song called Love Addict? xD

Or maybe somewhere along those lines, I remember it's Love-something, lol.

^ LostHeaven: Did you also happen to find the performance they did with Mika Nakashima?

The "GLAMOROUS SKY". Please post it if you did find it, I want to see it. *__*

^they sang only EVANESCENT :(
I found this show... it was just VAMPS talk part --> song --> Nakashima Mika talk part :(

^ Oh, I see, so they didn't perform any songs together with Mika, that sucks. :(

that performance was amazing! :D

VAMPS album is out on Itunes japan *cry* I want T_T

^Huh? Already?? But it hasn't even been physically released in Japan yet O_o

Oh, and thanks for posting that performance LostHeaven!

#4 for the week! :D

4位 35,620 EVANESCENT/VAMPS

^ They did really well!

Go Vampire duo! :D :laugh

WOAHHHH!!!! 35,620!!! That's awesome!!!

cool! that's better than previous singles

I'm just curious, but who's the other 1/2 of VAMPS, besides Hyde?

I want to know who the other guy is, what's the story on him?

Something tells me he's not from L'arc, lol.

http://i022.radikal.ru/0805/7a/fd97556112b3.jpg
*K.A.Z formed the band ”Oblivion Dust” in ’96 and debuted in ’97 with 3 singles, "Sucker", "Numb", and "Falling", off the album "looking for Elvis" released the same year.
*In 1998, K.A.Z joined the band "Hide with Spread Beaver", releasing 2 singles, "Rocket Dive", and "Pink Spider." 1998 also saw the release of 2 more Oblivion Dust singles, "Therapy", and "Trust", from their album "Misery Days."
*In 1999 K.A.Z and Oblivion Dust released 4 more singles, "Blurred", "You", "Goodbye", "Crazy", and a music video for the song "Overdose", all from the album, "Reborn."
*2000 saw a quick reunion with Hide with Spread Beaver, another single, "Designer Fetus", and album "Butterfly Head" with Oblivion Dust.
*The next year, Oblivion Dust released their Best Of album, "Radio Songs", but the group disbanded. Also in 2001 K.A.Z started work with Tetsu from L'Arc～en～Ciel on his solo project TETSU69.
*In 2002, he formed the rock unit Spin Aqua with vocalist/model/actress Anna Tsuchiya, producing three singles and one album, "Pisces". Soon after K.A.Z started to co-write and co-produce songs with HYDE.
*For HYDE’s 3rd solo album ”FAITH”, he wrote 5 songs including the single “SEASON’S CALL” and co-produced all songs. K.A.Z then accompanied HYDE on his "Faith" tour as guitarist throughout the summer and fall of 2006.
*In 2007 K.A.Z and 2 of the 3 previous member of Oblivion Dust decided to get back together, spending most of the year writing and recording their January 2008 self-titled release, "Oblivion Dust." Early this year, Oblivion Dust had a short tour to signify their reformation, and while still actively working with Oblivion Dust as well as various other projects, K.A.Z and HYDE decided to start VAMPS.

info from official myspace

It seems that the album has leaked at KMC. They state it's a 320kbps rip but I'm holding back on downloading it for now.

^you're right... Album already appeared on many sites

Don't want to listen it =_= will wait for my copy

Same here. I'm not downloading it yet. Stange that its leaked already but I dont want to spoil the surprise just yet....

lol i'm gonna download it this weekend :laugh

@ LostHeaven (post #91) : thanks for the info, I feel I know
more about him now that I've read over what you posted.

I feel that hyde has more of a scary/evil look than he does, though, lol. :laugh
