The theme of the album will be the Sabbath, and the images HYDE had in creating the album was a dark and danceable music, exactly like DEVIL SIDE.

if you don't mind, could you give me links about those translations?
Thank you!

One translation, from VampsTimes4, was the following....thanks to tar_valon

Hyde says:"Sabbath is a party to celebrate demons, a night party. At night demons followers gather in a frenzy celebration called sabbath. And since even Sunday when Christ believers celebrate can be called sabbath, there is a double meaning.

★★★What's your image of this night party?
Hyde:For example the image in Devilman manga. In that manga, at the beginning, when Devilman is about to be changed into a demon, there is a scene in the underground gogo club, where everybody is dancing wildly. I liked that. I wanted that to be the atmosphere for　the next album.

★★★Demons at night gathered underground, with loud rock music? That feeling?
Hyde:Yes. Leave reason out. Where there is reason there is no place for demons. Demons dislike rational thinking.

I gotta say, the way he describes it... eh, it just sounds... sorta... you know... FREAKIN' AWESOME.

I just hope this doesn't mean we won't get our share of emotional or serious songs. (Though I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of emotional and serious songs as they described last year's album as "full of upbeat songs" and... well... VAMPIRE DEPRESSION.) - Because of their recording in the US, I expect this to have a very FAITHy tone (as DEVIL SIDE sort of does), but VAMPS have surprised me so many times that I find it pretty useless to attempt to predict them at all.

EDIT - ALSO, there is an interview with VAMPS at Hot Topic's Japan website. I BabelFish translated it and it sounds like they're discussing the album very detailed. But as you know, Japanese -> English translations are not quite as easy to do as, say, French to English, so even when translated I can't understand a single word of it. So if anyone else wants to try their luck, the interview is here- http://www.hottopic.co.jp/user_data/dirt...erview.php

I really want to read this article, so any form of translation would be soooooooooooooo nice :C

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Thank you for the translation.
Now I understand why the concept of the PV Devil Side like that.

When the first time I saw the PV, I was shocked. I could hardly believe it.
And for the first time I saw the "world" like that.

So fans are gonna be called VAMPS' Demons now xP

Oh....NOOOO!!!!

I preferred the angel rather than demon.
Is VAMPS will be more naughty and wild in this year?

I like teh angel too, but that doesnt seem to fit their theme xD They sound like they wanna be a lot more wilder this year, i hope they do ^^ it'd be fun if the crowd @ their shows end up as the atmosphere as Hyde wants this new album to be (cause last year there was a handful that just stood there; and cmon, u gotta go crazy wen it's VAMPS)

I think so too.
The image of an angel isn't fit for VAMPS.
I hope the music on their new album much cooler than the first.
And in my opinion, Devil Side is a cool song.
His voice voice sounds more stable.

That sounds so epic.!

Well, HYDE was discussing the double meaning, so maybe there will be both angels AND demons? I mean, sure the MAIN image of VAMPS is loud rock music and thus points more towards demons, but as you know, they also have their share of beautiful works like SWEET DREAMS which could easily fit into the angel side. So if that's the case... I EXPECT TO SEE A LOT OF PICTURES AND REFERENCES OF HYDE'S ANGEL WINGS TATTOOS IN THIS ALBUM. I've never really liked tattoos, but I must say, HYDE really does make it look good. Though I'm not a huge fan of his more recent thorn tattoos on his arms.

...
...

Although even does lean toward the VAMPS demon side, I'd be proud to call myself a demon for VAMPS... since I already do call myself a demon for thousands of other things.

Devil is identical to the black color. I like black, but still I don't want to be called the devil.
Although sometimes the image of the devil in films is very cool.

And if Hyde turned into a demon, I would still love him.
