RE: So how'd it go?

~ I realize this is going to be a hyperbolic review. Well, when you see them, you tell me how to describe it in any milder tems. ~

Just sheer peak performance

Absolute focus, incredible energy, the power of complete unison.

You were all amazing, amazing! It’s the watermark for a world-class performance.

The energy just built and built. The encore was insanity.

hyde wrung his heart out, and poured it to us. He just opens up and goes into a state of passion that is beauty, itself. I cannot say how pure the performance was.

He sang full out like this, the entire performance. Whereas that’s thrilling enough, for one song, how is it possible his voice, his energy can bring it to that level, for an hour and a half? I wholly agree with those others during this tour, who have used the word, “perfect.”

He wore a knee-length, tapered jacket that looked like thin, woven silk, with a steely sheen to it that changed color with the lights. The jacket was unbuttoned to the waist, and there was a tattered scarf of dark material just lining the inner rim of the jacket’s neckline. I tell you about his fashion in loving detail, so that you can appreciate that it was a picture, hyde in motion, in it. Dervish hyde danced and spun and made its tails fly, until he began to rock his way out of it! Well, he ripped out the back of an armhole seam, but it’s a beginning!

K.A.Z = Masterful. Whereas he tends to seem the introverted one in interviews and photo shoots, when he gets a guitar in his hands, it is power! It’s sexy, oh yes, when he plants his feet and starts in. He’s just charged with electric energy. When K.A.Z looks at the audience while playing, and you can see he knows it’s his world, now, and he’s putting it to us, and sometimes he gets this little smile on his face…it reminds one of that remark he made, “The audience was delicious.”

Ju-ken, I’m developing this theory that your energy is actually capable of spontaneous healing. You could say Ju-ken likes to keep busy. And also that the universe is kinda big. As he apparently feels he doesn’t have enough to do onstage, being the power bassist of choice for Japan’s premiere rock bands, Ju-ken has taken to simultaneously pimping the songs and the members of the band – uh, including himself - , oh, and dancing like he’s about to leave the ground, all while he solidly rocks the Hell out of us. Rockin’ the fashion, too, handsome Ju-ken.

Ari…Sexy thing! Drumming so hot, it could almost distract you entirely from just watching him, all muscles working furiously and long hair falling into his face. Ari’s attitude was pleasingly cocky. Tipping his chin up at the audience, strutting offstage, deciding to toss a memento into the crowd, at the last minute. I say it again – that drumming is Hot!

Jin seems to prefer to work the magic from a dark quarter of the stage…perhaps his night-dwelling eyes cannot abide the bright light. Or maybe he is refining his stealth, for the hunt. His deft touch so sweetens the music. Beautiful.

I am too weak from two days in a row of VAMPS, to continue at this moment.

In an open letter to VAMPS, ~~~
I’m in awe and I love you.

I am the Desire...
The need for fresh .~~blOod~~ VAMPS is strong in me.
