The theme of the album will be the Sabbath, and the images HYDE had in creating the album was a dark and danceable music, exactly like DEVIL SIDE.

if you don't mind, could you give me links about those translations?
Thank you!

Hyde says:"Sabbath is a party to celebrate demons, a night party. At night demons followers gather in a frenzy celebration called sabbath. And since even Sunday when Christ believers celebrate can be called sabbath, there is a double meaning.

★★★What's your image of this night party?
Hyde:For example the image in Devilman manga. In that manga, at the beginning, when Devilman is about to be changed into a demon, there is a scene in the underground gogo club, where everybody is dancing wildly. I liked that. I wanted that to be the atmosphere for　the next album.

★★★Demons at night gathered underground, with loud rock music? That feeling?
Hyde:Yes. Leave reason out. Where there is reason there is no place for demons. Demons dislike rational thinking.

Well, HYDE was discussing the double meaning, so maybe there will be both angels AND demons? I mean, sure the MAIN image of VAMPS is loud rock music and thus points more towards demons, but as you know, they also have their share of beautiful works like SWEET DREAMS which could easily fit into the angel side. So if that's the case... I EXPECT TO SEE A LOT OF PICTURES AND REFERENCES OF HYDE'S ANGEL WINGS TATTOOS IN THIS ALBUM. I've never really liked tattoos, but I must say, HYDE really does make it look good. Though I'm not a huge fan of his more recent thorn tattoos on his arms.

Although even does lean toward the VAMPS demon side, I'd be proud to call myself a demon for VAMPS... since I already do call myself a demon for thousands of other things.
