Gee, sure do wish I could understand >: - Nevertheless I love how K.A.Z wasn't paying attention at the beginning, ROFL. It reminds me of when HYDE says, "Right, K.A.Z" or something in Baltimore and K.A.Z had that sort of "Oh, shit you were talking to me? O_O" sort of look on his face. XD

And damn I am having so much trouble adjusting to seeing HYDE's hair so short. X_X

I don't know why Hyde doesn't just talk instead of reading from a script? But it does make him look cute and silly though.

I like his hair longer, too. It seems to grow pretty fast. He has plenty of time for it to get vampy looking again by the time he tours.

It's not even so much the shortness of his hair as much as the difference in style. I remember when HYDE curled his hair last year and that took some getting used to as well. I don't really mind HYDE's hair being in any way that makes him happy, but it just feels weird for the bit of time that it is in a certain style ^^; - It's like, imagine going to a friend's house and you have his/her picture in your head and you know what he/she looks like fondly and then you finally see him/her to see a huge a mohawk on his/her head. Nothing bad about it; just takes some time to adjust, LOL.

I like how Hyde moves back and forth while reading but yeah I would rather let him speak without a script, it would be more natural and maybe less weird for them |D

I think Kazu was paying attention he was just being silly because you can see him smirking like he was trying to hold out introducing himself as long as possible and you can hear a staff member laughing in the background too.

Yeah, when you actually see HYDE appearing so tired, you really tend to think of how over-demanding the fans can be. Celebrity or not, he is still a human being. As much as I look forward to a new work from anything with HYDE in it, I always feel concerned about the timing of the new material. Most musicians only release a new album every two years, so the fact that they're releasing ANOTHER full-length album after only a year's time leaves me with lower expectations for the quality and furthermore makes me worry that he's pushing himself a bit harder than he can handle. Of course, since I'm obviously not involved in HYDE's life in any way, the only thing I can really do is hope he gets plenty of rest and has as much fun making the music as much we have fun listening to it. (Though from some interviews with HYDE, I think that's probably the most frustrating part to him, lol)

Okay, sorry for that. I just tend to think that the fans can be a bit too hard on him and demand too much for him. It's not unexpected at all, but when you think about all the things he does for his fans, not just including making music for them, and how the fans talk about him and complain about this and that whenever he releases something or does something that is less than what they want without providing any kind of constructive contribution. (Granted, I have done this before myself, so I'm not claiming to be any better than them) HYDE, unlike many musicians, is one that truly cares about his fans and has been known to go out of his way to ensure that they're happy, so I think the least we could do is show some appreciation for his effort.

(This rant can also apply to K.A.Z, tetsuya, yuki, and ken, but HYDE being the most well-known of all of them, I think he might have the most pressure on his hands, but I'm not sure. I stupidly haven't been keeping up with the fan reactions to tetsuya's solo work, nor ACID ANDROID, nor ken's solo work, nor OBLIVION DUST, so I don't know how the fanbase is for them.)

Okay, rant over. I'm starting to feel like Chris Crocker defending Britney Spears now. Sorry DX

Yeah, that's probably actually true considering K.A.Z was looking actually more alive and attentive than HYDE was. I don't know why I thought he wasn't paying attention. Probably just because he's been known to do his own thing while HYDE talks, remembering all those messages from 2008 in which HYDE would talk and K.A.Z would just be doing his own thing in the background, not even introducing himself to the audience. Interestingly, I think I paid attention to K.A.Z more attentively then than I do now. Since I couldn't understand what HYDE was saying, I would look more into the background and wonder what K.A.Z was doing and wonder if this would be the interview in which we'd finally get to hear his voice. Now that he actually talks on a regular basis (albeit, still very shyly), I tend to pay as much attention to him as I do HYDE in interviews and messages (that aren't subbed so I can understand)... that is, just stare and wait for something exciting to happen... like HYDE and K.A.Z laughing so hard they start to cry. Oh, great times.

I seriously don't know why he can't do that. Like you said, it would definitely be a bit more natural and probably a bit more friendly. That's one thing I've always preferred about VAMPS to L'Arc, it's a bit more personal and a little (hence, a little, not entirely) less stylized. Granted, stylizing a band isn't so much bad, especially when it's a group of at least four members who are each trying to keep a certain type of image, but sometimes it feels a bit unnatural and over-glamorizes what is a relatively simple message. Which is again one reason I prefer VAMPS. It feels more like a "We're just hear to make music and have fun" sort of feel not a "We're going to release a hit album and make loads of cash" sort of feel.

Actually I really didn't need the rant- I was probably quite busy that day quite honestly and have been since to come back and adjust anything in that post but I really didn't believe it would misunderstood. My school schedule right now has made me very busy.

I know how demanding the new schedule is for VAMPS considering the back to back releases. I was commenting on how tired he was because I felt horrible that he was doing probably ANOTHER interview when he could've gotten fifteen minutes of rest somewhere in there instead. I realize that he's completely stressed out and I'm more worried for his health in the tiredness than anything else. I don't want him getting ill like Miyavi did on his World Tour. I'm even more worried for what's going to happen if they continue pushing themselves, considering L'arc~en~Ciel is still pushing out a couple of singles here and there, and now VAMPS is going to do their own World Tour RIGHT after releasing all this stuff. I've been doing my best to keep up with everyone else and the main person working on releases that I've seen is Ken, Tetsuya has been working on new songs for a while and Acid Android is doing a tour in February- unfortunately I do not keep up with Oblivion Dust though so I don't know anything about them at the moment.

I myself am a musician and really do know how hard it is to get a piece right, and how many times it has to be practiced and practiced over and over until it even sounds decent- and I used to play stuff off the page. I know it's even harder when you create it yourself- which I've only done a couple of times so far in my life but I want to do more. I can see how hard they work on their music- even if I maybe don't like some of the songs personally- I understand how much work goes into each song and how hard it is to work on in the first place because of how close that piece can be to you in some cases, so I definitely appreciate how hard all of them work on their music, and I hold so much respect for them for allowing themselves to be out there as musicians, allowing their music to be heard and criticised when they've worked on it so hard.

I'm sorry if I took your post wrong or something but I can't help but rant back when I'm ranted to.

Oh, no. You misunderstand ^^; I probably misunderstood, too. I was contributing to your saying that he looked tired. I wasn't implying you were doing anything wrong at all. You said that after seeing him tired it made you feel bad (or something like that; perhaps I misunderstand) and I was using my overly drawn out way of saying "OMG I know what you mean." I apologize if it seemed like I was directing it to you specifically. ^^
