RE: VAMPS 6th Single "Angel Trip" Guessing Game
Strangely, I think it will be a mix between EVANESCENT and SWEET DREAMS, not like one or the other. I'm imagining it being rocky like EVANESCENT and TIME GOES BY, but slower in rhythm like SWEET DREAMS. Maybe, but not likely, it will even be acoustic (or feature at least one acoustic instrument? - I was sort of disappointed in VAMPS LIVE 2008 when I saw that the acoustic guitar bits in TIME GOES BY were replaced by K.A.Z using the higher-pitched strings of an electric guitar; don't get me wrong, the notes were all spot on, but it's just the fact that it was supposed to be acoustic at that part)? In terms of mood, but not in terms of sound, I expect it to feel a bit like L'Arc's Jiyuu e no Shoutai (which is an amazing song simply because it's NOT so amazing, you know?) - Probably as a result of HYDE's blog entry (although I'm trying NOT to cite those as 1) The context was confusing, and 2) It makes it harder to legitimately guess), I expect to have a sad but happy sort of feel like EVERGREEN and PERFECT MOMENT. Like, it has a really sad story, but a the same time it feels sort of happy. You know?
I know this is a bit of a stretch from VAMPS, but I don't expect, or maybe I'm just hoping, there won't be many, if any, girls in it. =x - It's just that HYDE has proven to me many times in the past that a song doesn't NEED to be about the opposite gender for it to be deep and intimate. Referring again to PERFECT MOMENT, it's one of the deepest songs on the FAITH album and has nothing to do with romance. JESUS CHRIST is another example and that is without a doubt my favorite. Even SWEET DREAMS can apply to all types of people (with enough stretching). Anyway, I won't mind at all if it happens to be about some kind of girl, but I'd like lyrics that reflect on something deep and beautiful aside from romance. (OMGOMGOMGOMG THIS AUTOMATICALLY MAKES VAMPKITO EVIL AND SEXIST :L)
It's interesting how we all seem to think it will be a ballad, though. As you can see, I'm not saying it won't, but I was honestly expecting a lot more varied expectations.
