Haven't posted in almost.... 2 years.... But I just had to post this up somewhere!!

Did anyone go to the VAMPS USA Tour? Did anyone get their merchandise signed?? Whoever did, you are SO LUCKY!!
And even luckier to those in LA who get to be filmed for the VAMPS LIVE 2009 USA Tour DVD AND an autograph session.

Taipei didn't get either of these :' ( Nor was there any merchandise sold... Only CD's and DVD's which I'm sure everyone has bought already (right? RIGHT?)...

But geebus did they put on a great show!!

I've always wondered if HYDE sounded as good as he did in CD's and DVD's as he did live, and boy, I was not disappointed!! He's come a loong way from his 666 and FAITH Tour, where his raw-voice-technique wasn't fully perfected yet. Today, he sounded awesome!! Each song just had the right amount of oomph to it ; ) He was such a cutie too, saying he wanted to make new friends, and wanted to meet beautiful ladies (piao liang mei mei). Everyone pointed to themselves at that point, obviously xD And saying that he missed Taiwan and us : ) Mid-way, he even forgot he was in Taiwan, and reverted back to speaking Japanese, hehe (then said, "Aa, nihongo wo shabetta...")!! So cute, he came out wearing jeans overalls!!

K.A.Z was super cute too!! He had some problems speaking Mandarin and had to look on his cheatsheet, and it was kinda confusing trying to make out what he was saying, but heck, he looked suuuper adorable when he was like, "Aa, ia..." when he said something weird, heheh!
It was very hot, so at the start of his MC, he was like, "Hao re.... Hao re...". He was a little more shy on stage than I thought! Maybe becos it's Taiwan?? Not used to it?? Seemed more conserved than HYDE and Ju-ken >///< It's okay, K.A.Z, we love you!

Oh my gosh, Ju-ken, where should I start? I never saw him much on the DVD's nor heard from him about anything (heck, to tell you the truth, I didn't even know what he looked like TvT;; ), but when he got onto the stage, his liveliness really brought the crowd up! Such an amazing guy! I was honestly surprised cos I had a different impression of him, but he was absolutely amazing. He really cared about the crowd, but was so shy and made HYDE do his MC instead!! So sad, I wanted to hear him speak to the audience :/ But nevertheless, he was awesome and really got the crowd going!

Arimatsu and Jin were awesome too, though they didn't get to speak to us. Arimatsu threw out his drum sticks at the end of the show!! HYDE, K.A.Z, and Ju-ken were throwing out picks and water bottles!! Too bad I am too poor... I only bought the $80CAD B Section tickets... If I knew that they would be throwing out so many things, I woulda bought the $120CAD A Section tickets!! Greatest regret ever >_<

The concert was held at the place where they shot Moon Child, so even if you were at the back of the A Section, you were probably only five or six steps away from the stage cos the place wasn't very big T-T

Ah... another weird thing is that they didn't play Cosmos, I thought it was one of the more popular songs in the album?? But maybe they wanted a more "high" feeling (they kept shouting, "zai high yi dien, hao ma??" hehe!), perhaps.


I will definitely not miss out the chance to buy VIP tickets for the 2011 L'Arc~en~Ciel's 20th anniversary concert, even if I have to camp overnight for two nights!!!
