RE: VAMPS 5th Single "DEVIL SIDE" Guessing Game and Some Other News

When I first heard the chorus from the preview, I had high expectations for it. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed upon my first hearing of the full version. I decided to listen to it a few more times before I made any judgement to it. However, I'm still not fond of it. Perhaps it will take me a year to like it as it did with LOVE ADDICT for me.
Like someone mentioned earlier, the chorus seemed very forced in but it's somewhat catchy. The lyrics are okay... it's hyde so it's understandable. I have nothing against the PV (because of the hot girls!!!). and hyde kissing that one blonde chick? Yeah, I was surprised, but I was even more surprised that he didn't kiss a hotter girl. lol. But what I'm trying to say is that... for those who have a problem with what hyde did, you have to remember, he's FUCKING hyde, he does whatever he FUCKING wants. Sorry for the cursing but it's the best emphasis to describe the rocker side of him. Remember, outside of his rocker personality, he's gentle, nice, kind man. Please separate his personal and professional life.
Anyways, I have to hear this song live because as with most VAMPS songs, they are meant to be played and heard live, not from CDs.
I think the song kind of grows on you.
When I first read the lyrics, I thought.....well, you know you sat in America for a month watching beautiful sunsets over the ocean and the hills every evening and this is what you came up with?
But now that Hyde has explained his theme of the album it sits better. Plus the music, I feel, is solid. I think it will sound great in concert and I like it more as I listen to it more.
It definitely was not a song that grabbed me at the first listen like Sweet Dreams or Evanscent. I felt the same way about Love Addict though....
As for the poor girl getting dissed by so many, I feel that Hyde likes blondes. He draws them in his pictures and the shots of the fans in America often focus on them. She stands out in the video as he is surrounded by so many brown heads. (I am not blonde so my comment has nothing to do with personal features).
