Then Hyde goes on to say because half the lyrics are in English and Half are in Japanese so it's like a foreign person who's two nationalities (that's a very rough translation with artistic license but I'm pretty sure that's what he was going for). And then I took that as him sayng that someone of two mixed nationalities is like a beast..........but I don't think he means a beast in a negative way either haha.

I used to go to school on military bases and I developed a trick for converting 24 hour time to 12 hour time in my head. For 18:00 for example. Just cut off the first number and then subtract 2. So 18-> 8 -> -2 -> 6

and 6 pm would be your time :) When you get up into the 20's it's sorta similar but if you use the same thing you end up with single digits that don't make sense so I reverse the steps...for 20:00 I subtract 2 (18 and then remove the first number...and 8 o'clock it is!)

Edit:: Actually it works well using only the second method for both I just realized lol

thanks Harumi for that quick summary. i understand what Hyde is getting at about mixed blood i think. i've seen it in my own family. (my daughter in law is Japanese American) but is this his way of saying KAZ fits that category since he turns into this "beast"? i know there has been speculation without any proof, mostly spurred on by MV6 depiction of KAZ's parents.

so tricksy, throwing out little nibblets like that to spark curiosity knowing the answers won't be revealed. i mean, private life is private. pay me no mind... ^ ^

I agree it was sort of Hyde's way of saying basically that Kazu is mixed nationalities in a round about way hai? Honestly just by looking at Kazu you can tell he's not 100% Japanese or I don't think he looks like he is. But I agree at least Kazu was able to follow the joke and not just giggle and hide his smile :3

actually i always think kaz as a 100% japanese

but has KAZ ever said that he's of mixed heritage? i would never have even questioned anything had it not been for that comic portrayal in MV6.

in truth, so do i. and i have to admit that i have become so used to seeing full-blooded Japanese as well as those with mixed Scots-Irish/Japanese ancestry in my own little personal world that instead of becoming more attune to differences, i notice them less. to me, KAZ looks as Japanese as Hyde. and i really didn't mean to get into this topic. was just amused by Hyde's explanation of beast etc. i hope i haven't offended anyone accidentally. :)

I JUST now noticed the fb event! Thanks for that! I added it to my events :) Can't wait!! Thank God I work evening shift!!

i waited forever to make it because i thought someone else was gonna make it, but i guess not XD

the info is up on VAMPS shiny new Twitter with the venue listed as Roppongi Hills Arena, as best i can tell. same viewing sites listed as on MySpace it looks like. show time is in about 5hrs and 45 minutes if the original show time is still on.

just thought i'd pass this on before i go nap.

Well I am now going to bed so I can get a few hours sleep before this event. If anyone wants to chat while the live is going on I will be on aim and msn :3 It will be fun to comment in real time I think. And help me stay awake so I don't miss anything DX

AIM: HarumiShirai MSN: harumi.shirai@hotmail.com

w00t! The show starts in approximately four hours! I slept in all day for the occasion and I don't care of I'm all drunk and tired later on! This is going to be sweeeeeeeet!! ^_____^

Wait... harumi, you still use AIM? I thought AIM and all its members, liek, jumped off a bridge while Yahoo IM's members just... you know... joined in the fun, leaving MSN the only client with actual people on it.

Im so glad Sydney is only an hr in front of japan so its good viewing time for me~ for all those who have to stay up...drink lots of coffee or juice (im no coffee drinker, i find juice wakes me up XD) or a bit of a drink :D cant wait to see the live!

and random question......what site are you guys gonna use to view the live??? cause ive noticed a few have chats going, so it would be great to chat to fellow fans through the site too ^^
