Say hi to J from all of us ^_^! send us a photo so we know who he is it's a He isn't him? *doubts*
Have fun! ^_^!!

Oh, yeah! A photo would be good. Also one of the VAMPS advertising that is going on there. I would like to go but the $30 admission fee, gas driving to L.A., and parking is all more than I can justify at the moment.

------------------

I'll definitely say, "Hi" for you guys. I'll try to get a photo, but only if he allows me to. Keep calling radio stations and keep spreading the word you guys!! Only 8 more days!

Oh I just got back from Anime Expo! The panel was nice and my friend won free tickets!! (Nu fair! They gave them to people with b-days in July I want a birthday in July!!!)

Anyway I had a chance to speak with Ai and she said maybe possibly VAMPS will have autograph signing for Los Angeles!! How awesome is that???

But remember that's a possibly. Don't kill me if it doesn't end up happening!

*YAY* I so hope so!! I'm extremely happy just knowing their trying to do one in CA ^_^

Don't forget, J said they will be releasing a DVD of the LA Concert. LA go-ers, be sure to wave at EVERY SINGLE CAMERA for chance to make an appearance on the DVD.

oh thats so awesome!! i hope that it's an DVD of the whole live! of course, if it's just clips of the US shows like in the Faith DVD, i cant complain either ^___^

Yay for the good news ^_^!!

*yayay* i get more excited by the second!! omg a dvd ^_^ this tour is going to be great!!

The panel was VAMPS-tastic! J is really cool. ;) I wasn't allowed to take a photo of him, sorry guys. :( Ai and I passed out fans with VAMPS' tour information on them.

Basically, it was more of a "Q&A" panel. J talked, while Ai and I handed out fans. VAMPS are excited to come to the U.S.. J also talked about who VAMPS were (for those that didn't know). Fans got to ask J questions. Apparently, HYDE really, really, really likes soba and would live in L.A. if he could. Obligations in Japan make it difficult for HYDE (along with VAMPS) to travel and tour more often in the U.S. J also mentioned that it takes a long time to plan a tour. About a year or so in advance, which means that they're working on 2010 as we speak. That is, according to J at least.

All in all, though, I think the panel was a success. *yay, VAMPS* A lot of people showed up, which was really VAMPS-tastic! A few lucky fans with a birthday in July got to win free tickets to VAMPS' show in L.A. They had to present I.D.'s that verified their birthdays are on a certain day in July (I think it had to be before the 13th or something like that). AnyVAMPS, the tour kicks off this Saturday, so let's help VAMPS get more tickets sold!!

Psht, you couldn't take a picture of J?! That's lame!

Anyway, I think last time HYDE came to the US he said something about wanting to live in LA after he retired. Looks like his plans haven't changed.

Glad the panel was a success ^_^ Hopefully some new fans were converted.

Not too to disheart anyone but if hyde does live in America, that means goodbye L'Arc~en~Ciel. I would NOT like that happening. Not. One. Bit. But if he lives here for retirement, then by all means, do it. =D
