Mystery: VAMPS Facebook?

10-28-2009, 10:06 PM

I was wondering, is this VAMPS Facebook "Official"?

http://www.facebook.com/pages/VAMPS/26585206322

I have the feeling some fans really think this is similar to Official MySpace, and Hyde and KAZ visit that and read messages as well.

Someone named "A" manages it, I was reading messages from that user about "scary fangirls" or selling tickets from fans to fans, so now I'm not sure about how serious is that place...........I only know Ai Aota mentioned it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YEGJg4uF7s

Confusing! do you have any idea guys?

Hey there,

No, this is not an official VAMPS page. It's run by fans.

Much VAMPS-love,
H.P.

Wait so, the art contests and all that stuff is not picked out by Hyde and Kaz? (kinda imagined it but still) they make it sound so official though.. =/

Nice to know! Thanks H.P~! *hug*

Then... where IS the official Facebook mentioned in the video? :< - I feel like I've been cheated and lied to!

I figured this facebook was run by fans but I wasn't sure because they make it seem official... they really should make it clear that it is unofficial. :/

Several of my friends had told me it was not official but I thought not.
So I think that other Facebook members of L'Arc-en-Ciel also not official.
None of the addresses of your Facebook appears on their official pages

I think that by official they meant:

The official FB page where they would post info on the tour. Or something. Like the Twitter account that now it's dead.

there was a spate of these phony accounts over on MySpace earlier in the year. several were connected to Miyavi and i remember reading about a lot of fans being hurt because they believed they were legit. some folks thought they were fans just role-playing, but when it goes to that extent or like on Facebook with VAMPS, L'Arc and the individual members, it's a dirty trick.

the ones who really fall for it the hardest and get hurt the most are the young kids, who see no reason why their idols wouldn't do something like joining a social networking site to get close to their fans. MySpace should be a lesson for all as it is seldom that Hyde or KAZ make a blog post. and J only does when they want to get some info out. i doubt they have the time.

i've always thought the FB accounts were fake because they were never mentioned on any of the legitimate sites. but then, i'm a pessimistic skeptic about a lot of things. ^^

yeah I actually remember all of the fake Miyavi accounts sadly enough (including the so called "not-Miyavi"... Hiro- something that had a TON of Miyavi pictures up and kept calling them him-- I found him disgusting) and I remember a fake one for Satoshi of Girugamesh that had me fooled as well for about~~... 5 minutes until I started seeing things spelled wrong... >>;;;

but the FB people did a really freaking good job- despite the fact that for me- it became highly obvious that it was run by fans- especially with all the little contests... <<;;; usually I can pick out fakes but~~~ with all the hype I don't think I was paying attention to much more than Myspace lol and besides-- I have really crappy Internet at my home- so I really can't do much on any of the sites in the first place when I'm not at college
