I always get disappointed when they forget to answer a second part to a question. Like HYDE forgot to answer why they include HYDE solo songs in the VAMPS concerts. Even though the answer is sort of obvious: Because they're still collaborations with K.A.Z. and they set the mood... and are potentially fun to play D=

Nevertheless, great interview. I don't think they gave K.A.Z. enough involvement, though. But I am glad they also referred to the support band, Ju-Ken specifically, not just HYDE and K.A.Z. *will probably be killed by a bunch of crazy fans for referring to Ju-Ken as a member of the "support" band =x* (Don't get me wrong, I -do- love Ju-Ken, but like HYDE said, "VAMPS" refers primarily to him and K.A.Z., but they operate as one band on stage)

Quote:Q: The word “vamps” has both the meaning of a vampire, and a flashy, sexy woman. (laughter, more laughter when the phrase is translated as “sekushii oneesan“) I was wondering if you were considering either of those meanings when you named the band.

H/T: Originally I named VAMPS after “vampires,” but [we like] the flashy, mysterious women, too, so… it’s all good. (laughter)

LMAO <3 XD

I really do hope that they come back next year for their bigger concert :)
