I see where you're getting at with L'Arc. HYDE shows off only as much of his personality off as the other three members will allow him, which is why I've always preferred him solo, but I don't think HYDE's lyrics are any less personal in VAMPS than in his solo, even though he still has to accommodate for another person's song writing. The subject matter is very similar in both HYDE solo and VAMPS, in my opinion. The only difference being is that VAMPS is a tad more sexual... ah, hell. A -lot- more sexual than his solo work, but I have a feeling that that has nothing to do with VAMPS.

To be fair, though, a lot of his L'Arc~en~Ciel lyrics were extremely personal too. Anemone, anyone?
