So apparently my friend just told me that VAMPS is going to have a panel with J at AX on Sat. 7/4 (good day? bad day? Independence Day + Downtown LA = Traffic....-__-)

Here's the full schedule for 7/4 at AX: here (VAMPS is scheduled for LP2 at 7:00pm)

For those of you that are not in California, AX=Anime Expo and is a once-a-year 4 day anime convention, and they invite Japanese artists for panels/signings and other stuff (last year LM.C had a mini concert(?) after their battle of the bands event.) Starting last year they moved their convention place to the LA Convention Center. I would say it's fun...just that the tickets are a little pricey.

The wording of the name of the panel worries me though. It says "VAMPS official panel with J", so does that mean it's just J there or is VAMPS going to be there....?XDD

Nice! Is anyone here going? (are you going?)

I dunno if VAMPS will be there, this is the day after their last Tokyo live before America. I'd think they'd be tired and it would be a lonnng flight. They'd have to catch the plan right after their concert, I think. But who knows, maybe they'll surprise everyone.

Maybe someone can get some pictures if it's allowed.

I would also think they would be very tired. But it is not that long before the start of their American tour so it is feasible. It might be a good way to drum up last minute ticket sales, too.
I'm not going.

awwwwwwww I so want to go this but there no way I possibility can if it was closer to the 24th i would leave early to go. I kinda hope vamps aren't going to be there >_< because if they did signings or something I would seriously die if i had to miss that.

When Hyde was there the first time around, he just basically sat on the stage and looked pretty. He did do a little talking and waving but that was basically it. No signings or physical meetings with people.

From what the schedule says it will just be J From what I know J must be already in the states doing some promotion at L.A so maybe he's the one that will do more promotion for the concerts and maybe show a new video or something. If not it would just say "VAMPS Panel" or Ax would have announced Vamps as a guest.

Yeah, it sounds like J might be there, but not Hyde or KAZ...

But its still pretty cool! :)

DAMN! I missed HYDE back in 2006 at AX. all cause i shook Mana's hand -_- I'm not a big fan of Mana. But anyways, yeah like you guys said, even if hyde and KAZ are going to be there, signings are highly unlikely. They will be tired! And I have never seen hyde give an autograph to his fans before. All he did was sign a giant poster of himself back in 06.

The way it's worded seems like it'll be a Q & A with J-san & not VAMPS but who knows...

If HYDE was coming, I'd fly out for sure But yeah, it'll be a pretty hectic schedule since they'll have to leave right after their last concert in Tokyo if they decide to go to AX.

Looks like the band won't be there.
