I assume everyone's seen this, but just in case you haven't:

As an added bonus, check out the Japanese announcement. You get to see a side of Hyde we never see:

It's priceless.

If you don't understand Japanese (like me) you can just skip to the halfway point and watch from there.

Edit: Here's the subtitled version I posted later in the thread:

I love how in the English one, it's like they have trouble filling up even 18 seconds with talking, there is silence there at the end. |D Love it though.

And the Japanese one - whattttt did they say that was so damn funny?! :XD: I want to know what has them both cracking up for half the video. It makes me laugh that Hyde's laughing so hard he starts to cry. XDDD

lol i know i really want someone to sub that video i wanna understand what's so funny

I couldn't stand it so I made an appointment with a lady who I work with who is native Japanese. She listened to it and translated it but some of it doesn't make sense....as usual. I know that when Hyde cracked up he was talking about desire....but it didn't fit into the rest of it real well. He was talking about the new album earlier and was saying that it was dark. I'd have to look at my notes when I get home from work to see what else she said.

From the comments, the gist was that Hyde was talking about being eager to play here, and ended up saying something that sounded like he was eager to have everyone pleasure him.

Ok....home from work...here is what I have down in my notes.
They have been planning the tour for a while. They were not sure what kind of a tour they wanted to do. They wanted to spread out the music. America is huge so it is going to be tough. They want to visit and observe the US. They want to have a direct reaction...that is their desire.
They've been recording a new album....gets kind of nasty, deep, and dark. Has a dark side to it. It gets nasty. There is also an expression of thickness. Evanescent is like a ballad in its expression. There is a mention of making something short.
Listen to the new music. Look forward to it. Also look for desire...... (this is when they lose it and crack up)

Please remember that the words do not always translate between the two languages. What we interpret as nasty may not mean the same as what Hyde was trying to express. But she stressed that nasty is the meaning of the word that was used.

Someone named 2011odyssey has a line-by-line translation of the video in the YouTube comments - I don't know how accurate it is but it seems pretty much like what cathb's friend said . Plus, moonofmorrigan said this on one of the LiveJournal communities (talking about where Hyde and K.A.Z. start to crack up):

Quote:According my friend Becky (she's [LJ user] taijiproject) this is what is going on:

he was saying to look forward to their next release or whatever, and he said to also look forward to "desire" but then he's like, wait... we don't have anything called "desire"

No matter what, it cracks me up to see them laughing so hard!

YouTube royally sucks. I can't watch the video because it says that I need to download the latest flash player, which I already have. My version has also been verified by the Adobe flash player website - what gives!? Ahhh...I can watch some videos, but then I get the message when I try to watch others. AnyVAMPS, yeah...slightly off-topic, but I'm sure the video was hilarious. ;)

SUBS would sooo make my day... :-p

I'm thinking of grabbing the 2 translations from the youtube comments and subbing it. I have the tools. It's not like it would be the first Hyde thing I subbed.

It probably wouldn't be on youtube. More like a windows media kind of file. I guess I could upload it to YT but I don't want to annoy anybody from ki/oon or whatever.
