Visually Wings Flap is nice but I'm not so sure about the song , I need to listen to it a few more times before I can further judge if I like it or not

interview with VAMPS
http://tokyojournal.com/sections/mov...745-vamps.html

TJ: How did the tour with Sixx:A.M. and Apocalyptica come about?
HYDE: Sixx:A.M. and Apocalyptica had decided to tour together and they were looking for a unique and interesting band to team up with.

TJ: How was the experience of touring with them?
K.A.Z: Because we are still new to the international scene, we face some limitations with equipment and the performance time available. But the most important thing to me is to give the audience a true VAMPS experience.
HYDE: We are already popular in Japan and our audience knows us. So we are always trying to show them what’s new. But in other countries people are still getting to know VAMPS, so we just keep trying to give them the VAMPS experience. In Japan, I can’t go out anywhere by myself, and when we perform the fans are always screaming. However, when we came to the U.S., we had to perform as the opening act. I had never had an experience like this before. As the first opening act, there is nobody before you and the pressure is on. But I thought to myself, “This is what’s in front of me. How can I take care of it?” It was a growing experience. Sometimes after putting it all out there, there was no response from the audience. I didn’t know what to do about it and it broke my heart. But I just kept telling myself, “I believe in my music. I can break through,” and I just kept moving forward.

TJ: Can you tell us about the biggest performance of this tour?
HYDE: At the beginning of this tour, we did a couple of festivals. They said, “You’re not going to use ear monitors. There’s no sound check. Just go on stage and play!” That was like, wow, real culture shock. The band right before us had the fans really screaming. Then we went out and there were only 10 VAMPS fans in front of us and we thought, “What are we going to do?” That was really hard, but by facing reality and the real world, it made us stronger. The last stop on the tour was Rock on the Range. There was a mosh pit between the audience and us. So that was, wow! Insane. I remember thinking, “If we keep doing this and believe in our music– yes it’s working! We can do this.” That was the most memorable moment on the tour and it reminded us that we should believe in ourselves.

Watched the Wings Flap PV - it's simple but pretty. Just nice to see L'Arc in action again really.

I really like the song too! I find it more instant the singles from Butterfly, bar Drink It Down.

I am in complete love with both song & video, for "Wings Flap". Just listening to the sound of something new from Laruku, brings me so much happiness! Also, regarding the PV...I thought the visuals, scenery, etc...for it all, was just so amazing! Plus, the guys (HYDE ) looked awesome, as well.

hyde's departures has 500 000 views on youtube

man it's been centuries since i listened to anything from them. Well not exactly but to the point where i had marathons of listening to HYDE/Laruku/VAMPS and now i don't at all.
What i find really cool is how you can instantly say it's Laruku playing, not just because of hyde's vocals but also the melody. i don't know how to explain but it always has this light airy feeling to it, it always sounds elegant too. Their stuff is really melodic. "Wings flap" is one of those. I can't say it strikes me with something very very special, but it's so comforting that it's pleasant to listen. It's actually increadible when you think about it, HYDE is pretty much a part of 3 different acts, and somehow it's impossible to mix them up.
I really should start bringing back HYDE and his friends back into my music library. It's been way too long!

according to this interview, VAMPS and Apocalyptica had plans to release two songs, but they was too busy with tours and didn't have time for both. Only drums part was recorded

and in another interview, hyde said that he recorded vocal for few songs. One of them was Departures, I think

can't wait for new music ^____^

I know what you mean. I don't tend to listen to an artist as much if they aren't active.
