Oh lawl, not to crush your enthusiasm or anything, but that same shit happens here too. I've heard from so many American and European fans things just like that, especially the divorce and gay parts.
"HYDE and Gackt never loved their wives according to a professional source whom I am not allowed to talk about because it's a secret. In reality they're in love with each other!"
"HYDE and Megumi are divorced. I learned about it in a fanfic."
"JESUS CHRIST was inspired because HYDE's son got sick and died." (Though I won't dismiss that there's a decent chance that he at least had his own child in his thoughts when he was writing the song, but there is no proof for that and neither does it exactly matter)
"K.A.Z sleeps with his guitar." ... ... Well, that one might be true.
But you get the point. A lot of the same crap is spread in non-Spanish speaking countries too. Granted, with Americans, I always tend to think that when they say things like that, there's a chance that I must have misinterpreted it since 80% of the country seems to suck at speaking English.

RE: Mystery: VAMPS Facebook?
hmmm... seems I'll have to be extra careful when translating to avoid strange rumors from spreading... not that I'm not. But yeah, one misinterpretation on my part and I could be spreading false information ><
As if language isn't enough, there are cultural differences too that might cause misinterpreting information... if you don't know the culture very well, you might misinterpret something they said... like jokes? idk. and tone of voice is pretty key too. Sometimes, it's hard to seek out sarcasm in writing...

I totally understand! and yeah I know the USA has the same problems the thing is that fandom here is so reduced that 8 out of 10 people help spread the rumor and believe everything and anyone as long as it brings them closer to their beloved Jrocker. and since we are far away and mostly misinformed. Not many people know english well enough and stuff like that. So most don't get japanese and then they don't get english and yeah some just write internet spanish that is less than understandable (like most online english like: I haz a friend come by yesterday. In spanish is more confusing believe me x_x.
At least that's what I can say form my opinion . In the case of USA fans it's like 5 out of 10 are gullible people xD. So I end up finding more fans I can relate to ^^. plus you are a much larger fandom ^_^
L'Anniversary~! <3

Actually Kazu admitted he sleeps with his guitar. Whether he was joking or not, its only known to him. I'd actually be willing to bet he does

If there’s somebody who could find the original Fan Page of this, but I like most the VAMPS. I can easily follow it. Twitter is really great with this kind of application.

Yeah the net is quite dangerous place when you first become a hyde fan(and know nothing about him). So must false information everywhere. Especially on old fan girl websites from geocities...

Yes I know, that's why I made the tongue sticking out face. Because of the Myspace post he made. I wasn't being serious and its a joke with me anyways.
