But I don't think that we or you (people in the USA) making more people in each our countries like Vamps is going to help Europe @_@.. but I could change your idea into: Making another USA tour possible for next year. Maybe US + Europe. Or something.

I didn't mean that. Lawl. I meant in terms of what we can do to ensure VAMPS have a successful visit to Europe. Not like I'd tell my American friends, "Hey, VAMPS is cool! Fly to Europe to see them!"

Well, I doubt he would have meant L'Arc in reference to next year. He probably has no idea what HYDE has planned if anything at all for the United States next year. But like you said, sometimes plans can change so awkwardly.

Quote:Even though I'm in Peru It's easier and less expensive for me to go to the USA than to Europe, not to mention it's hard to get a EU Visa T_T. I would try to go but I'm better off chasing them in the states ^^".

That's because Europe enjoys making it difficult for immigrants to get into their country, lest they contaminate their soil and poison their water supply. *kidding, kidding =P*

HOORAY 8DDD Now when I apply for a job and they ask for references, I can tell them that I have a fairly good reputation on an online VAMPS forum.

Well, remember that the European tour has not been planned yet, but HYDE is -hoping- to have one. The problem is that everyone seems to think that VAMPS evaluate their decision based solely on the amount of "PLEASE COME TO OUR COUNTRY!!!" comments on the VAMPS MySpace. Don't get me wrong, those help a bunch, but you also have to take into consideration the marketing aspect of a tour, such as how many CD's are bought from each individual area, how well received they predict they'll be based on the general mindset of the people, etc. So the only way that a Europe tour would be possible is if the country meets both the popularity and marketing factors. Of course, since the tour is scheduled a year in advance, that gives very little time to meet both factors.

But I'm sure the tour is more than possible. I honestly think they have a better chance in Europe than America since Japanese musicians are usually much better received in Europe (hence Visual Kei bands like Versailles, Moi dix Mois, and GOTHIKA successfully continue to tour Europe), largely due the fact that language isn't as big of an issue (The countries in Europe are as close to states are to each other in the US, but they all speak different languages, so they're all probably used to hearing music in a different language). Plus, if I'm not mistaken, 666, FAITH, and HYDE BEST all have German distributions, don't they? ( SO UNFAIR >: )

I would guess the 3 stages are Asia, Europe, North & South America ... I hope so!

Europe seems to be the priority for next year but I think that they'll squeeze the US in too if possible ^^
Even if they don't come to our own countries, we can help at least a little by advertising on the internet of course.

He said he'd like to include the US in it, too, but he has no idea if it will be possible. But if they were to have a tour like that, that would be sweeeeeeeeeet <3

This forum was built specifically for this last tour in the US, but after we find out the new tour dates then maybe we'll have to change the name to "VAMPS International" or something. Of course, it will still be geared towards tour support, but we can support for all countries.

Well, yeah, I meant online mostly with doing pretty much what you just described.

Well, yes, of course. But I mean, it is possible to promote the tour and the music at the same time. Like, HEY THESE GUYS ARE COOL! LISTEN TO THIS AWESOME SHIT, MAN! HEY, THEY'RE COMING TO EUROPE IN [insert date here]!!
