Yeah, I saw the Tweet and got excited and then...

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country..."

Needless to say, I was a little vexed. This is one thing about VAMPS that I honestly must I prefer a lot over L'Arc. Don't get me wrong, it's not like VAMPS' management haven't been subject to questionable strategies (most of which, though, were understandable as they were and are still new to the whole overseas marketing thing), but sometimes the way L'Arc's manager operate it seems like they don't want the tickets to sell out... or sell at all if I were to be really pessimistic. I'm sure they're great people trying they're best, but as a basic rule of thumb, if you want to promote anything (be it a tour or a carpet cleaning service), it's probably not a good idea to hide what you're promoting from the potential audience. Just my two-cents anyway.

Nevertheless, good to see the videos being officially uploaded and that they did eventually make it available for viewing overseas. Can't wait for more to appear!

EDIT - Oh, uh... nevermind. Guess what? No they haven't. Strange, since... I was just able to view earlier. Seriously.
