OOOH, the whole album sounds interesting! Thanks so much for the translation! MEMORIES and MY FIRST LAST seem especially interesting. The former because HYDE called the lyrics "embarrassing." Embarrassing? I wonder what he means by that! But the latter, like others have said, is where it gets real interesting. The description really touched my heart, and yet somehow I feel like I've been there, except without the snow. Thus, I -really- can't wait to hear this!

This album sounds interesting, especially the last song.
HYDE's statements touched my heart, I want to cry.
Why HYDE alone in his house? Where's megumi? And Junior?

Well, they were overseas at the time of composing and recording. I don't think they flew all their families over there too.

Yeah I'm also really intrigued by My First Last. When I was translating it I got more the sense that he was feeling peaceful rather than sad....but, again, it's hard to convey that in a translation all the time. When I was translating, too, I also noticed that it doesn't seem as if there will be very much, if any, Japanese lyrics. I think they are really pushing this for an international audience before the tour :) 2 weeks or so until we can get our mittens on this on iTunes...and for those who can't get Japanese iTunes I'm sure there will be...erm...other ways to get the album around that time too...just make sure you buy it and support VAMPS but I'm sure that goes without saying here :) I plan on buying the CD too because I think I'm gonna want that DVD and poster :3

Sounds like Hyde is writing a bit more music this time around. Good stuff!

Kazu is such a sweetheart on "Piano Duet" I knew there was a big softy underneath the tough guy act :3 The whole album sounds interesting.

Weren't VAMPS someplace warm when they were recording in the U.S. though? I'm sure he still wrote some lyrics when he was in Japan. I don't know
I think I like his statement better if he was at home than somewhere else, because home is familiar. Just because he's alone doesn't mean anything. I see my family everyday, but there are still lots of times when I'm all alone in my house. I get the same feeling sometimes when it rains, and I just like to lay on my bed and listen and think... it's very peaceful

(it's very difficult when you can't just copy mysterious kanji into the translator...and especially so when some of the kanji are very complex and also tiny and you have to play guessing games with the translation software until you hit upon the right one!!!! DX) It's finally done!! This is my translation of the track list for BEAST from the magazine scan. It's not perfect by any means but I think it captures the important stuff...No matter what it seems something or other always seems to get lost in translation, and I find it difficult to truly convey what's being said, but I try and use a little artistic license to capture the intention of the words being spoken...if not their direct literal meaning. I might go back and edit this post if I find some little mistakes I missed that need tweaking later...

Thank you so much for the translations! now I want my album badly!!!

kaz with piano.. wow that's rare thing becos everytime someone mention kaz.. my mind goes to his guitar and he said his 1st time.. i'm expecting more cute and soft song but stick in your mind for weeks or months

Maybe he was quite inspired after hearing hyde's 'sweet dreams' alot on tour. It was so nice in the Budokan video with the extended intro...

But it was K.A.Z that composed that song. D= (And yes, the live intro makes my heart melt everytime)

I'm looking forward their 2nd album!!!!
I'm so curious with those songs.
I hope time goes so fast!
