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! Which means several things:

1) I CAN WATCH THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE REPEATEDLY AND NEVER FORGET IT. 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!! 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! 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!

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.

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!

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. 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!

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!

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. ROCK ON!! XDD

10. Sweet Dreams (included in previous link)
OMG OMG!!! 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!

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. 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!" 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]
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!
~ 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. 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*

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!

OTHER EDIT: AHHHH!!!!!! SO HAPPY!!!!!!! KNOW WHY?! This kana hyde person, a friend of my friend, found links to download the VAMPS New York show that they played on TV in Japan! AND A DOCUMENTARY!! [link] BUT I'M SO PSYCHED because now I can watch the performances I missed! And in general, watch the best night of my life over and over again. YEEEEEEEESS. Only, they cut out Hyde's "yummy" MC! >:C It was like, the best part of the whole show, LOL. But besides that, and the kinda low quality of it, I'm very quite pleased!! : D And feel really fortunate too! I guess nearly dying in the mosh was worth it after all! (Almost XDD). THANKS TO WHOEVER DECIDED TO RIP THIS!!! MUCH LOVE!!! So anyway, point is....WATCH IT! XD

LOL, I AM IN THE DOCUMENTARY: [link] Freakin' amazing. I remember that moment perfectly too: it was probably around 7ish when we were still on line and I figured we would be going in soon so I had my ticket out. And then, they ran through with the camera like for the 6th time so I just nonchalantley threw up my hands along with my ticket. X'D Oh man. *cracks up laughing*

EDIT: DANG GUYS. I'M SORRY, I'M SO VERY VERY SORRY! Now I know why VAMPS LIVE 2009 isn't available for pre-order...IT ISN'T READY YET! XD Since I can't read much Japanese, I assumed the ad was about the DVD- but it's not, as my friend pointed out. It's for a STUPID PHOTOBOOK: [link] See how it says it'll be released on Halloween? AHHHHH I HAD IT ALL WRONG! DX *FAIL* I thought this was the pamphlet from the concert and I was thinking to myself, "Why are they selling that? O.o It's not worth that type of money." DAMN ME I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED! Ah well. DX
__________

Hi everyone! I know I haven't posted anything for a month and a half, mainly due to lack of inspiration really. However, from making my last wall (thanks for all the faves guys! O_O! ) I realized I missed it so. XD Though I'm still going to focus on my writing, I'll post something here and there. Just not as often as I used to!

Also, I need to share both good news and bad news with you guys! XD

BAD NEWS FIRST.

So, I found the L'arc calender on CDJapan for pre-order right? Wanna know how much it costs? Go on, you'll never guess. In a million years.

THE PRICE OF PRE-ORDERING L'ARC ~ EN ~ CIEL'S 2010 CALENDER IS....*drumroll*...

FIFTY EIGHT DOLLARS AND SEVENTY FIVE CENTS!!! [link] WITHOUT SHIPPING!! *GASPS SHOCK HORROR*

I have only two words: HOLY FUCK. IIII'm going to put that on hold...O.o The worst part is, it's only supposed to sell for like $35 normally in Japan!! What kinda crap is that?! >: O $60 bucks to have L'arc on your wall all year? Well, actually, putting it that way don't sound so bad does it? Sadly, I still want to see if I can get this. >.> WANT SOOOOOO BAD. I'll buy it AFTER New Years if I have to, LOL!

And HOLY FUCK X 10: the VAMPS 2010 calender is near $100!! WTF?! SRSLY?! LOOK: [link] WHO'S GOING TO BUY A CALENDER (probably filled with VAMPS pictures we've already seen) FOR A HUNDRED DOLLARS? Or over really, plus shipping. Jessuuuuuuuss.

THE GOOD NEWS

In cheaper news, I have discovered Anime Cast on ebay, who sells CRAPLOADS (meaning like, HUNDREDS) of JRock stuff including CDs, DVDS, posters- for UNDER $30. NOW THAT'S WHAT THE HELL I'm talking about! I plan to get a nice lil stack of L'arc DVDs from there! (They got Theater of Kiss and heavenly films! HELL YES!!) May I also mention they're in REGION ALL? I only trust this place as my Canadian friend ordered her HYDE Faith Live 2006 DVD and 3 L'arc CDs from here, and they arrived in perfect condition and fully functional. So for those of you who want to treat yourself this Christmas without feeling you're taking advantage of your parent's money, THERE'S the place to go!

Here's the L'arc~en~Ciel section: [link] But you're free to search for anything! They don't have anything VAMPS related though, so don't get too excited lol!

Hope that was helpful to everyone! : D Christmas will be here before you know it! XDD

Also, if you've got nothing to do, go look at Monthly VAMPS # 13 scans. They're pretty interesting and really nice! And you get to see HYDE's boxer shorts in one of them! XD [link]

Also, watch this: [link] It's effin hysterical. X'D

OH SHIZZ and I almost forgot! L'arc is re-releasing their Hurry X-Mas single, with a DVD with never before seen bonus footage from Theater of Kiss!! It's for a reasonable price lol, (around $35 probably), you can pre-order it here: [link] I'm totally getting this, it doesn't give me a heart attack to buy!

On that note, Happy Halloween! Anyone doing anything interesting? I'm going to Fright Fest at Six Flags, but if it's freezing cold like it is now, it's going to suck so bad. DX Guh.

Sayounara for now!

LOL totally forgot till now!! XD Since all of ya were kind enough to do my self-made quiz, I shall take it myself so you can see my answers!

~*~*~* The L’Arc-en-Ciel Music Quiz of Awesome ~*~*~*~

1. SO YOU LOVE L’ARC. We got that. What got you into them?
WEELL.....it all started from Moon Child actually lol! I had watched it cuz of Gackt *former massive Gackt fan, though I still like him!* and I had no idea who HYDE was at the time. When I did a bit of research, and found HYDE was also a pop star, I remember paying closer attention to when he sings a bit of "Orenji no Taiyou" toward the end of the movie. So I did and was like "Oh, he has a nice voice! : D " So then I looked up L'arc and went on iTunes and found Kiss. I didn't buy the whole album at once, I only bought My Heart Draws a Dream, Sunadokei, Spiral, Daybreak's Bell, Alone en la vida, Umibe, The Black Rose, Link and Yuki No Ashiato at first because the others sounded weird to me! XD And "My Heart Draws a Dream" was the song that really wowed me like "OMG HIS VOICE" as well as "Link" as I like it's happy beat too, so those became my favorites instantly. I actually didn't really fall in love with them until September of last year after I got Awake and Smile, but I had bought these songs in April and enjoyed them so I consider that the "mark" of when I got into them.

2. Fascinating. How long ago was that?
April 2008. *hides in shame compared to all of you who've known them for like 3 years or more*

3. Someone has a gun to your head and forces you to say your favorite L’arc album. Which is it and why? Least favorite album? ^{They aren’t perfect, there’s gotta be something you didn’t like.}
Fav: I feel HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!!! Listening to it right now as a matter of fact. It's my favorite because I think HYDE'S voice on it is the most beautiful compared to all his other stuff. I sometimes wish he still sounded like that *ANGST* I also like that the album has a balance of both really perky cheerful songs and slower, serious sad songs.
Least fav: Real. I never got into it. I listened to whole thing like 5 times and it just didn't click with me. >.< Considering it was their 1st album of the 21st century, it could have been a lot better. The only one I REALLY love is Finale.

4. *in previous situation* What’s your favorite song? YES YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE. Least favorite song?
Fav Song: Link!!
Least Favorite: A Silent Letter. Yeah. DX

5. Good job, you saved your brains! Did you like Laruku better:
During the 1990s or 2000+?
OLD SCHOOL LARUKU FOREVER Y'ALL XDD. Teh 90's.

When they were girly or manly?
I loves pretty 20-something year old HYDE thank you very much. XD

When Sakura was the drummer or Yuki?
Uh...I'm going to have to go with Yuki. He may be really shy and all, but he's really sweet and he's an amazing drummer (ever seen his drum solo for L'arc's 15 Anniversary concert after Shout at The Devil?) AND he even has his own band that's pretty sweet! XD And, despite the fact that he wasn't around for L'arc's earlier years, he still plays all their old songs perfectly! So I give him lots of kudos. I do like Sakura though, really! It's just the herorin thing that holds me back!

When Hyde and Tetsu’s hair was long (like, 2 feet long XD) or short?
That long hair was epic. It saddened me that HYDE cut it for the Heavenly Tours >.< At least Tetsu kept his for a lil awhile longer.

6. How often do you listen to L’Arc? ^{It’s okay, admitting the problem is the first step to recovery!}
Everyday, usually! Just recently I think I missed a day! O.o

7. Say the Laruku song that comes to mind for the following words:
Strip: Lover Boy. (I remember in the Live USA performance of this, HYDE was swaying himself all around the place! All he needed was a pole and it would have been perfect! XD)
Hyper: C'est La Vie!
Potato: Uh...Shutting From The Sky? LULZ.
Fun: Link!
Sexy: Metropolis. Oh yes, ever look up the translation of that song? *blushes* XDD
Emo: Hmmm......Finale.
Pop: Seventh Heaven!
OMG: Dive to Blue
Pretty: Vivid Colors!!
Shiny: ~ I want to SHINE on youuu!!! ~
Lips: Oh! Kuchizuke.
Skirt: lol And She Said!
Hot dog: Pretty girl? ROFL.
Chocolate: Honey XDD
Sky: Natsu no Yuutsu
Naked: Alone en la vida

8. What L’arc song do you/would you listen to when you’re:
Happy: Feeling Fine
Depressed: Alone en la vida
Lonely: Flower
Excited: Link
Moody: It's The End
Angry: The Black Rose
Bored: Wind of Gold
Amused: Pretty Girl
Stressed: My Heart Draws a Dream
In love: I'm So Happy XD
Taking over the world: As One (lol ironic XD)
Cleaning: C'est La Vie
Doing unmentionable things with HYDE?: Metropolis, totally. (You guys have no imagination!! OF COURSE I know you aren't doing unmentionable things with HYDE, it's if you WERE. Like if he wasn't married and all that stuff, gosh you guys!! XDD)

9. If Laruku broke up, would your life cease to have meaning?
YES. Their solo projects aren't enough for me as they will always be the best together! Although I know one day they will, I hope it's not anytime soon! DX

10. Seen any concerts of theirs? List them all.
I went to see VAMPS this summer! XD Though I know that doesn't count lol. But in DVD form I've seen:
Live in The USA
15th L'Anniversary
AWAKE Tour
Theater of Kiss
Live In Paris
Heavenly Films
Close by Dune (like, one of their 1st concerts. It's in crappy VHS quality and everything! Still amazing though!)
Grand Cross Tour 1999
.....and still have to download others! I plan to get/download all their concert DVDs!

11. If you could go back in time and go to one of these concerts, which would you go to?
The Heavenly Tours because Heavenly is my favorite album so naturally I'd want to see it live! Spefically the "Heavenly Tour '95" when HYDE has the fuzzy coat on, not the weird magician costume LOL.

12. Who is your favorite member? Besides HYDE?
TETSU!!!!!!! : D

13. What is about him that entices you?
He's so funny with the whole banana thing, and the kilts and feathers in his hair, I always like the dorky fun person of a band! XD He always makes me laugh. And he has a TERRIFIC smile! AND HE DOESN'T SMOKE!!!

14. Lovely! Anything you don’t like about him?
Nope. Really.

15. If you could audition to be in L’arc, who’s position would you want?
Yukihiro's. I get to sit down and be cool, but not the center of attention! XD

16. If you could have a one night stand with any member in an expensive fancy hotel room (where wine and condoms would be provided) who would you choose? Ignore Hyde.
AS CREATOR OF THIS QUIZ I GIVE MYSELF PERMISSION TO IGNORE THE "IGNORE HYDE" NOTION. XD Cuz I couldn't picture myself with anyone else doing such things. >.> But, if I had to, Tetsu! XD

17. Oooo. Very nice. Which Laruku member would you think would enjoy:
Shopping: lolz, Banana Boy and Pretty Guy. XDD That would be FUN! Oh dude, I should make a comic: THE ADVENTURES OF BANANA BOY AND HIS ULTIMATE SIDEKICK, PRETTY GUY, WITH THE POWER OF EYELINER!
Cooking: HYDE.
Video games: Why did everyone put Yuki? XD I'M GONNA BE WEIRD AND SAY KEN.
Nature: HYDE, Tetsu, Yuki
Extreme sports: HYDE, he snowboards! XD I saw it on YouTube!!! And Yuki.
Reading: HYDE, Yuki
Teaching: Ken (he did it as a part-time job, surprisingly.)
Writing: HYDE (he writies like 95% of their lyrics, dur. XDD) Also Tetsu.
Stripping: Ptfff, do I have to bother to answer? You all know who. XDD
Porn: HYDE, HE GOT CAUGHT! >: D And of course Ken.

18. THE BATTLE OF THE PVs CONTEST! Which do you prefer?
As if in a Dream vs. Dune? DUUNZ. Dance Haido Dance! XD
Blurry Eyes vs. Vivid Colors? Blurry Eyes, only cuz of HYDE's cheap hooker outfit LOL. It pwns, as well as Ken's coat. XDD
Flower vs. Kaze Ni Kienaide? Kaze Ni Kienaide!!!! No distracting leather lolz.
Niji vs. Dive to Blue? Dive To Blue, that was too funny XD
Driver’s High vs. Heaven’s Drive? Driver's High!!
Neo Universe vs. Stay Away? Stay Away for the hip shaking and weird dance at the end XDD
Ready Steady Go vs. New World? DAMN. Uh, Ready Steady Go cuz of the chibis XDD
Jojoushi vs. Killing Me? Killing Me, cuz Jojoushi creeped me out XDD
Seventh Heaven vs. Hurry Xmas? Hurry XMas, cuz Seventh Heaven was crack dude!! XD Though do tell me: why are they wearing no sleeves when it's DECEMBER? O.o
Nexus 4 vs. Shine? DANG. Uh....!!!!.....SHINE!

19. Do you have a favorite PV? Least favorite? Cuz L’arc’s let out some freaking weird PVs.
FAVORITE: Hurry XMas, totally. Only PV that ACTUALLY goes with the song lol! And it was adorable and fun! <3333
LEAST: Hitomi no Jyunin. If you can call that a PV. "HEY GUYS LET'S PLAY A CAR ACCIDENT BACKWARDS IT'S PERFECT. : D"

20. LAST QUESTION: Do you think their name suits them? Or would you name them something else? ^{I mean, come on Tetsu, you named your all male band rainbow? Might as well name them sunshine and daises.}
ROFL, even though it's weird and kinda gay, it has grown to fit them very well!! So no! XD

OH OH and I forgot to share this hilarious old interview with HYDE and Ken back in 2007, please watch it, you'll totally die laughing: [link]

Currently Into: Heavenly!HYDE/L'arc and MONORAL (they're fantastic, please listen to them!)
Recent Music: Oh lots! 1993-1996 L'arc, MONORAL, VAMPS, Arashi and *GASP* Gackt! XD
Recent Inspiration: Kei and 26-year-old HYDE.
Wall Making Status: As you all know, kinda at a standstill but I have a couple I want to make! ;D
Writing Status: Pretty good! Have lots of ideas and posted up 3 so far. Summer HW has interrupted the rest from being finished >.> Here's my LJ if you wish to see them: [link] (btw, my stories will be mostly HYDE related )

~* THE HYDEIST CORNER *~
ALRIGHT. Here are a ton of interviews I'd like to share with all of you, both from before and after the tour:
BEFORE THE USA TOUR:
K.A.Z tell us he wants to be a pumpkin for Halloween and HYDE has an abnormal eating habit: [link]
VAMPS telling us about why they wanted to come to the US and other good stuff: [link]
HYDE's ultimate mission: CONQUER AMERICA :[link]
AFTER THE TOUR
HYDE asks you for help to get to that damn airport! : [link]

And, from HYDE's tour diary MySpace posts, he had a lot of fun here and he would like to come back sometime. It was tiring, but he and everyone enjoyed themselves and their fans (he is THEE sweetest celeb ever, he took pics with fans and everything ). So who knows, they might come back in a couple years, as next year they want to do this fatty ass European tour! XD So if you live in Europe, look out! : D It isn't confirmed yet, but there's a good chance of it happening since they both want to go!

Also, from the journal title, I didn't mean VAMPS own time, as in seconds or minutes lol, but rather: SOME BEAUTIFUL PERSON WROTE THIS FAB ARTICLE ABOUT THEM IN TIME MAGAZINE!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! JAPANESE ROCKSTARS IN THEE AMERICAN EPIC MAG TIME?! THAT'S LIKE A WORLD RECORD!!! *insanely happy for them* YOU CAN READ THE AWESOME ARTICLE HERE: [link] I don't know if it'll show up in the actual published magazine, I hope it does, but even being part of it is a GIGANTIC deal. Wow. I even printed it out for keepsakes! XDD I was really excited to hear about this! I hope someone told them about it!!

Oh, oh and Sweet Dreams! Single Release! With Unplugged version! On Sept. 30th! Will be on iTunes! Do buy if you can! XD

AND y'all should really check out MORORAL, they're under VAMPROSE too and they're freaking awesome!! First band that deviated me from my constant HYDE-listening! XD Fun facts: the singer, Anis Shimada, is close friends with HYDE as he checks HYDE's english songs to make sure they're in correct grammer and all and he wrote "Shining Over You." In return, HYDE wrote one of MONORAL's songs "Visions In My Head." They also kissed briefly (yes, on the mouth XDD) at the Halloween Lives last year and if you have seen the VAMPS Live 2008 Documentary, you see what lead to it lol but the camera cut off when they actually kissed! UNFAIR. >:C Oh, and Anis is half-Moroccan (from Morocco, a country in North Africa across from Spain) as well as half-Japanese. Gotta tell you, one of the most interesting mixes I've heard of! Oh, and he was born in London, raised in France till 18 and speaks English, French, Arabic and Japanese fluently. And his name means "friendliness" in Arabic. XD And the bassist, Ali, is Japanese American who also speaks Japanese and English fluently. AND all their songs are sung in clear, fluent English! They've had tours in South America, China, Europe (this year), so it's only a matter of time before they come here, I hope! Their MySpace is here: [link] and you can get their albums on ITunes! Recommended Songs: Sparta, Monkey Cage, Tuesday,
Visions In My Head, Kiri, Session 9, You, Costa Rica, Safira, and Casbah.

AND I FOUND MY NEW POP SENSATION: ARASHI! They're a Jap. boy band that's been around for a decade that I randomly discovered and they're music is fun, perky, sweet and really random, they have really upbeat pop songs, slow, pretty songs, ones that are rockish and ones that are R&B. What makes it all work is they have beautiful voices!! I don't think they have a MySpace, but if you like pop or want to try something new, do check them out! You won't regret it! XD Recommended Songs: Happiness, Do My Best, Flashback, Step and Go, Your Song, Love So Sweet, Firefly, Carry On, Rock You, Kaze, and Life

AND GACKT IS BACK. Kinda. XDD Some of his new songs are like "Eh?" but the ones I bought and really like are: Oblivious, Flower, Lost Angels, No Reason, and Suddenly.

~* OMG LIFE DX *~
Well, was pretty fine until today! Long story short: In process of looking for colleges, Mother talked to my aunt about it, they calculated the prices and I'm going to have to go to a state college as that's what she can afford, no real way around it because with the economy, states are mainly giving scholarships to their residents (as I had wanted to go somewhere in Pennsylvania cause they had a lot of colleges with Pre-Med, while NJ only has the one) so yeah, tears were shed, and I wasn't very happy. She's my single parent btw, which is main reason for lack of monies. But, I'm doing my best to be optimistic about it and I found a couple other colleges that have the courses I'll need for med school, so maybe I can go to a college I want to after all! : D I'll just have to visit them and we'll see how it goes. Ah, growing up SUCKS. I wanna be 12 again!! XD
In happier news, I'm proud to say I can drive now! : D Really! Very proud of myself. And I got a new awesome haircut, but I'm not a camera whore so I don't know when I'll get a pic of myself to post up. It's kinda like HYDE's; side swept bangs in the front that are long enough to put behind your ear and multi-layered for the rest of it. And my HYDE Best Of CD came in a couple weeks ago and it's beautiful and I'm going to treasure it because I don't want to buy much from Japan anymore because I'll feel bad about it as we need to save for college. The only thing I'll get is VAMPS Live 2009, whenever that comes out, just because I need to see if any part of me is on the documentary XDD And I'm actually not to bummed about starting school this year! It'll be easier this year, probably why XD
ALSO: As I'm starting school, that means decrease of how often I post stuff, although there's been a decrease anyway as I haven't had much inspiration. But just so you all know.

~* THE HYDEIST CORNER *~
Today is VAMPS' last concert in L.A! (Which my amazing friend is going to, she'll be waiting in line at 8 in the morning! XD And hopefully she'll be able to get my CD signed! ) It saddens me a bit, as now after today they'll be going back to Japan :C I'm just really happy I got to see them. Even though, from the review you all know I suffered greatly (I lived off of Motrin for like THREE DAYS after the concert. DX I could barely get out of bed the next day, honest.) it's finally really settled in, and I will be ever grateful that I had the opportunity to see HYDE'S OH SO PERFECT FACE in my face lol. Well, not exactly in my face, but close! And his smile. And dancing. And hip swaying. And hair flinging, etc etc. You know, I actually really like that he doesn't get all "pretty" for VAMPS concerts because the man is so naturally beautiful it's sickening LOL. Srsly. Gosh. I want to look like him when I'm 40!! DAMN SEXY THANG.
AND I want to add that, yes, seeing them live DID IN FACT give me a new appreciation for the album. There isn't a little voice in my head anymore going "HYDE'S OTHER STUFF IS BETTER WTF IS THIS" when I listen to it lol, all the songs were a lot better live. Although, I don't place it higher or lower on my scale of amazingness and didn't neccesarily fall in love with it. But I do like it more nao, indeed.
Also, I decided to upload the tour pamplet for all of you to see!! I'm SO HAPPY TO FIND (after downloading the Japanese one) THAT OURS IS SO MUCH BETTER. FINALLY we get something better than them. My scanner does the pictures no real justice lol but you can still see how gorgeous it is! [link]

~* OMG LIFE DX *~
....without HYDE has been very uneventful. Vacation was uber epic fail and I was SO HAPPY to come back home!! Why is it when you're near 18 your mom starts treating you as though you're ten or so? I mean, honestly. I believe I am old enough to decide what time I want to get up, to go and take a walk around the area a few times, and decide whether I want to go into the ocean or not. I was constantly being nagged at to do what everyone else was doing, when I didn't want to do what everyone else was doing. Gosh. I have learned when your family goes with you on vacation, it's never a vacation. EVER. It's like torture that they call a vacation because you aren't home. Reminds of when we all went to Puerto Rico like seven years ago...worst vacation of my life. Wasn't Puerto Rico's fault though; TIS ALL FAMILY. Which still makes me bitter sometimes because I have a lot of classmates who have gone and seen the sights and all, like YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN YOU GO TO A TROPICAL ISLAND. DX Which is why, when I go around to all the places I want to go when I'm older, I'm just going to bring myself and a couple friends and that's it! (Oh btw I didn't mention I was Puerto Rican did I? XDD You can fall outta your chair in shock now!)
Also, besides epic fail vacation, I AM A TERRIBLE DRIVER. *has permit* The world is a safer place without me. Basically, it's my mother's fault because when I was practicing driving with my uncle, I did quite well. But my Mom yells and freaks out when I drive with her, which makes me nervous and thus very bad driving. And I mean bad as in almost-got-into-5-accidents bad. I really don't think I'm going to pass my driving test in October. DX And if somehow I do, I don't think I'll drive at all! And it upsets me because I wanted to be like my cousins who can get anywhere and GO ANYWHERE and at this rate I won't be. I wanted to be able to depend on myself and instead I'm just scared of myself. It doesn't help I don't like driving in the first place. I'm going to need a permanent driver >.> /end angst rant.
In happier news, from reading all the HYDE fanfiction I did last night, I FINALLY got the inspiration to write about him! Specifically a really fatty Haitsu fic! Because Haitsu is always really badly interpretted as NEVER WORKING OUT cuz Tetsu's too shy or whatnot and I'm sick of it. >: O And although I enjoyed the stories I read about HYDE, only very few represent how I personally see him. For whatever reason, it seems he's either a naive, silly lover (Why do people always make the uke stupid? I mean REALLY. HYDE of all people is not an idiot >.< ) or a complete whore that sleeps with everyone (which is very fun to read lol, makes me laugh, but not very realistic to me. Now if it were GACKT sleeping around with everyone, okay. ) OR BOTH And that too REAAALLY bothers me, that people would even THINK of HYDE that way. I mean, it's all in good fun but still. I will not have my already married husband being reduced to a idiotic naive immoral slut. So therefore, as the saying goes "If you want something done right, do it yourself!" SO I WILL! >: D When the fic is done, (it's going to be long XDD) I will post it on my LiveJournal that I just made yesterday actually. Do you have one? If so, I'd be happy to add you! My account is here: [link] I am also working on an original story that will be really long too, but if I finish it I'll be putting that up too!
I think that's all I have to say for now!
~* Random Notes *~
Out of pity for my poor driving, my mom let me get HYDE's Best Of Limited Edition CD. YAY!
