Seeing VAMPS live in NY for me was just absolutely amazing honestly... it made my whole year being able to see the whole band on stage XDDDD it's funny but I have a hell of a lot more... idk... I wanna say respect (but I already had it) for Ju-ken and Kaz after seeing them onstage live ^^v
I was a bit upset at being so far back (really- if my family would've allowed it- I would've been in line with you guys at 5am) but it was amazing cos I BARELY missing getting Kaz's pick I think XDDDD and I loved the fact that I just remember at whatever angle I was at- seeing Hyde's angel wings- which I've really always loved ^^
Also considering the fact that I'm a bassist and being able to watch Ju-ken preform live was absolutely amazing... I really don't think I'd ever realized how GOOD the man is- which is a real shame ><;;; I feel bad for that even more now... and he gives soooo much energy to the crowd and hyped us all up sooo much...
All in all it was fantastic being able to see them live in NY~!

On the other hand- I was completely devastated at missing them at Hartford ><... I think I really did almost cry as I stood there looking at the sign that said "VAMPS 2:10" as I stood there at 3:00, having just got there...
but... meeting Arimatsu really was the highlight of the whole day for me even if my Japanese class completely failed me in that moment. It amazed me when as Ren (the girl I was hanging out with as my cousin and his friend went to go jump into a mosh pit somewhere- I think they were at the front for Less Than Jake apparently) managed to do the talking for us cos I basically went "o.o" the whole time XDDD I was just in so much shock...
The smile on his face as I think he figured out that we were fans and that we loved VAMPS's music before he shook both of our hands was completely adorable though- I highly doubt that I'll ever forget that~
