VAMPS@ NY Review: New and Fully Restored! :'D

Mon Oct 26, 2009, 2:00 PM
  • Mood: Passionate
  • Listening to: 5 x10 by Arashi
  • Reading: The Chronicles of Vladmir Todd Vol. 3
  • Watching: VAMPS Live in NY XD
  • Playing: N/A
  • Eating: Halloween Oreos!
  • Drinking: Mizu
HAHAHA wanna know why? Some very, beautiful, gorgeous, sexy person out there (who isn't HYDE XD) recorded and taped the NY show when they played it on TV in Japan! :happycry: :w00t: Which means several things:

1) I CAN WATCH THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE REPEATEDLY AND NEVER FORGET IT. :excited: If me nearly dying in the mosh changed the hands of fate so THIS could be done, it was all worth it!! Entirely!!! *runs around in happy circles*
2) I can give you all a more thorough, real review for each song, now that I've been given the chance to see the performances I missed! : 'D *cries with joy*
3) YOU CAN SEE IT TOO and we can fangasm together!! :giggle: That's a plus right? A night like this deserves to be shared!!

Watching it all again not only sparked my memory and showed me things I totally forgot (HYDE said/did a lot of things I don't even remember! O.o) but it also stirred up my feelings of excitement and amazement and love, how my heart jumped outta my chest everytime he spoke because he was actually THERE and referring to me (as well as everyone else...XD) and how I wanted to just somehow get on stage, and hug him so hard (even though we'd both be icky and sweaty and sticky....^^; ) for not only coming to NY but for being such an amazing performer and being so great and fun with us! X3 GOSH I LOVE HIM, I really do. <3 I think in general, seeing him live just makes you automatically fall in love with the guy! He just gives off that aura lol, like "LOVE ME, CUZ I'M HOT AND SWEATY AND YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME." But anyway, other great news is, I FOUND JIN! XD He was hiding next to a speaker in the back!! And the only songs that weren't taped were "It's Sad" and "Midnight Celebration", which is okay since I've seen those performed live twice anyway! Also, thanks to the cameras, I see HYDE did have a bit of eyeliner on and the necklace he wore in MV # 13 that I love so much! :heart: So, ON WITH MY NEW AND COMPLETE REVIEW!! (I provided links to download the performances!)

1. Sex Blood Rock n Roll [link]
Lulz at HYDE's jumping at the beginning! XD Quite as I remember, with him growling the words out and all! Very jumpy, insane, greatness, this song is SOOO much better live! :heart:

3. Redrum [link]
Remember this well, the plus with this was I actually get to see it now lol! Although there wasn't too much stage action anyway so I don't feel so bad!! Excellent live for sure, I remember dancing to this in the mosh lol. :aww:

4. Secret In My Heart [link]
YES!!! One I wanted to see so badly that I missed! It was SO FANTASTIC, omgosh, it was wonderful, it sounds different but a lot better in this performance oh I love it! <3333 SO MUCH! AMAZING, just as it should be!! Totally beat my expectations! :la:

5. Vampire Depression [link]
This one I didn't remember at all, so I paid close attention lol! The music was great, but HYDE seemed to have a bit of a problem holding his notes in the chrous. :hmm: He cut them a lil short each time...I guess it's harder to screech a note than sing it? XDD

6. Jesus Christ [link]
Just as powerful as I remembered, leaves you sppechless! XD HYDE pours so much emotion in it, I've always loved this song live but this one is my favorite live I believe!! <333 His vocals so get an A+ on this! :giggle:

7. Evanescent [link]
*CRIES* I GOT TO SEE IT!!! FINALLY!! ALL I'VE EVER WANTED!!! AND...AND...*SPAZZES* it is SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL, terrific, whatever praising word you wanna use! It sounds different here too than on the original track, got a bit more electric guitar mixed in it lol but it's a great change, I love how it sounds here! And HYDE was perfect, this has a lot of emotion too. <333 So fabulous, one of the best performances ever! Took my breath away! Totally amazing! :excited: :dance:

8. Countdown (included in previous link)
I didn't remember this one at all either, so it was great to see! This was awesome, quite kick ass if I do say so! XD Soo good!!

9. Dolly [link]
KICK ASS. FOR REALZ. Like, Dolly is always pretty rough and head-bang-y lol but of the two previous performances of it that I've seen, this one's my favorite! The music and everything was really just pounding and killer. :headbang: ROCK ON!! XDD

10. Sweet Dreams (included in previous link)
OMG OMG!!! :omfg: O_O If I was alert enough during this performance to enjoy it, I would have fallen in love with this song right then and there! WOW! I mean, it wasn't the BEST performance of Sweet Dreams (as the acoustic one where he keeps his voice soft and high through the whole song is my favorite) but it was still wonderful, I loved it to pieces!! <3333 Much love for this, for sure! Another fav performance!

11. Life on Mars? [link]
Well, just in case any of you don't already know, this is one of my least fav VAMPS' songs after Hunting. ^^; It really urked me that they performed this song instead of "I Gotta Kick Start Now". But anyway, the performance itself was pretty good! HYDE'S English was very clear (though it still sounded like he was saying "gay men" instead of "cave men" LOL) and they did a great job! :aww:

12. Hunting [link]
Now that my brain is functional, I remember this was played after Life On Mars and not at the beginning like I thought. :doh: I had just gotten up on the rail after catching my breath, and freaked out seeing how close I was to the stage, got down for a moment to regain myself, then got back up and bounced along to this! XDD I love this performance because it's extended beyond the 55 seconds and I TOTALLY do not remember HYDE's interlude before the song started: "Come on New York! I want your blood!" :giggle: There was a lot of lulz with this, with HYDE's hip shaking, and how he would hold his hand over his eyes while looking out into the crowd for his "lamb". There was actually some girl that had a sign that read "Here's your lamb!" or something like that, I couldn't see it clearly since the quality is kinda low, but it made me laugh. HYDE was lazy too lol, K.A.Z and Ju-ken sang the "Hi ho! Let's Hunt!" parts! XD SO AWESOME. <33333

13. Hello [ http: //www .megaupload.com/?d= PPZO95WO ]
HYDE JUMPS! XD (Off the middle platform thing) I don't know how I don't remember seeing that! But he did! XD Loved seeing this again, was so fantastic! : D

14. Trouble [link]
OH YES. THE MACK DADDY OF ALL VAMPS PERFORMANCES. Lol, at least for me! NOW you all can see it too!! : D Being able to see this again, is too amazing to express!! IT'S SO KICK ASS as I said before!! *SPAZZES ALL OVER* JUST WATCH IT. XD Best thing ever!!!!!

15. Hideaway [link]
Like I mentioned before, utterly great and you can clearly hear everyone yelling "DIG IN AND GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY!" XD This is my fav performance of this song too!! So much fun! X3 And you also get to here him tell us "Thank you SO MUCH!" X3 CUZ WE'RE SPECIAL! lol jk!!

16. Love Addict [link]
:rofl: Oh, the dancing killed me! Again! X'D Made the entire performance I swear, besides HYDE's wonderful voice on it and all. It's so amusing. And then the "LET'S GET CRAZY NOW!" Crazy indeed. Really phenomenal though, best Love Addict performance I've seen thus far!

17. Cosmos [link]
WOO HOO! XD YEEEEES. SO WELL DONE TOO!!! All of HYDE's lil high notes added in and all, such love for this performance, never mind the song! IT'S SWEETER THAN SWEET. WHICH IS SWEET. XD

Also, THERE'S A DOCUMENTARY THEY AIRED TOO! It's about 20 mins and I showed up in it lol (posted the snapshot up in my deviations) : Part One: [link] Part Two: [link] IT'S SO GREAT DO WATCH IT! I'll point out the highlights:
~ During their interview at the Otakon convention, I don't know what the lady asked HYDE (it was in Japanese *eyeroll*), but the response was "I want an American girlfriend." LOL! I totally cracked up. He better hope Megumi didn't hear about that! XD
~ When HYDE and the rest of VAMPS arrived at the Fillmore, not only was he kinda mobbed as he tried to get through lol, but there were several "I LOVE YOU!"'s yelled out too, this one girl went RIGHT up to him like it was natural and was like "I love you! : D" right to his face! XD Like, dude! That's just creepy! >.< Poor HYDE, you couldn't see his expression as the camera was behind him, but I'm sure it was probably like O.o as he didn't say anything, just kept walking through lol! But he did shake hands on the way to the more normal fans!
~ There's a part he's trying on this bracelet a fan got him and the staff is cracking up! XD It was really cute, it's nice to see him appreciating his gifts! :heart:
~ My favorite part, after the NY show when he's exiting, there was quite a crowd waiting for him to sign their pamphlets, CDs or whatnot. So, he stopped and went along signing the 10 or so objects (I think he signed someone's hand too lol!) in front of him with no issue. But then, his stupid bodyguard like tapped him and apparantley told him he had to leave, as he gave back the marker he was using and as he walked through he kept saying "Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry!" to the fans! I thought was so sweet and thoughtful of him! : 'D Totally had an "AWWW HYDE!" moment. I will never get over how wonderful he was to his fans here, truly. :heart: :heart: :heart: HE'S THE FREAKIN' BEST EVER. I mean, I'm sure he was quite tired, especially after a show, but he was willing to stay and sign autographs anyway! How many celebs do you know would do that? And then apologizing for not being able to give everyone autographs...*luffles him* :giggle:

So, this TOTALLY makes up for the fact that we might have to wait till January for VAMPS LIVE 2009 to be released! This is my favorite concert of theirs no doubt!! MY LOVE FOR IT IS INDESCRIBABLE. L.A. had nearly all the same songs we had, except 2, so BRING IT L.A! lol. I wonder if maybe they'll include our concert as a extra disc, as they have the footage! : D I would pass out with happiness if they did!! In the meantime, I'm totally putting this on my iPod and ripping the audio! XD Hope you all enjoy it as well! :aww:

Aww! :glomp: Happy Birthday, it was the 23rd right? Sorry I'm late! ^^; Hope it was fun!!!

Everything's been great I must say! School I have A's in all my classes so far and I'm really enjoying this year! I finished all my college applications, so that's done. I'm been really good, lost some weight and no major issues anywhere. If you check out my journal, I recently (still are) was overjoyed at the recording of VAMPS' NY show! :excited: I also showed up in the documentary!! XD Um....I think that's about it really! Still love HYDE lol, but I have found other music interests too to love as well. And congrats on your new boyfriend!

:iconxporcelainkittenx:
Thank you~! :3
I am happy to hear that you are doing great things~ I have an A in one class. The rest- -let's not discuss those. I lost weight too, but gained it back. Only a few pounds though. Do you go to the gym~? o - o;
I used to do pilates like religiously, but ever since school started again, I haven't done it at all. XD

Eto. I saw that stuff on your page~! That's great. I would die if I were in a documentary about a group I loved. Perfume*coughcough*. Hehe.

lol! No, I have trendmills here at home! But I don't actually use them, my method of weight management is dancing for an hour or so at least four times a week. And when I don't feel like doing that, there's some yoga things I do too! XD And GREEN TEA. YES. :giggle: Best thing ever. Drink a cup a day and it's helped managed my weight since I've been drinking it!!
Yeah, I got really excited! :excited: I was more amused than anything though. Now I have my second of fame lol!!

:iconxporcelainkittenx:
Ehhh really~? I decided to start doing yoga next week, and maybe dance too. I try to learn Perfume dances and stuff. I want to learn BoA's dance to her new song BUMP!BUMP! it is sooooo good~! I have been drinking this pomegranate tea, it is yummy. But lately, meaning yesterday I ate a lot so that has to stop. Green Tea is a drink I have to slowly ease myself into liking since the first time I tried it I didn't like it much~

:giggle: I KNOW A FAMOUS PERSON♥
vdjvndnvlkvnkx. I am all like- -well, that inside. Because I watched this video about a 42 year old otaku~. Like, he was talking about how HE represents all american anime/manga fans. That freaked me out.

Including seeing a man on the Perfume no Sekai world video that was sent to Perfume. He is 40 years old, has ALL of their albums and said that he loves A-chan. . >.<; It scares me. .~
