( MEME! )

CDJapan is driving me crazy. It still says my MV13 + SWEET DREAMS package is "in shipping process" but I think that they actually sent it out at least by yesterday. I'd feel better if I knew for sure. It's also too bad I won't be able to get my single until after the HELLWEEN ticket lottery deadline. I would give my code to someone who could possibly go if I could get it in time. (´；ω；｀) But the deadline is tomorrow and tomorrow is Sunday = no mail. CDJapan usually sends items EARLY not late, they let me down on this one :[

HYDE's too cute! Mini picspam from MV13 again. I'm addicted, need to see more!! credit to 2ch >>



~*~

I've watched the PV for SWEET DREAMS - acoustic a few times and to be honest... I don't like this version of the song compared to the original version. I really prefer the way the song was sung in the not acoustic version. Sweet Dreams was already my least favorite on VAMPS' album (ok well besides BITE) and I like the acoustic even less. (;´д⊂) I liked Sweet Dreams in the lives though, it was so special in person. Maybe the acoustic version will grow on me more when I receive the single and watch the DVD itself rather than the youtube vid.


The new LE-CIEL Vol.61 just came out. I haven't received yet but I've read fan's blogs about it. In hyde's diary apparently he said that this August, he was with L'Arc~en~Ciel working on recording. They are going to have some NEW SONGS soon. 0_0 This year was a year of solo, but next year is probably going to be a year of solo and L'Arc~en~Ciel, I heard that it said. Interesting〜★ I'm enjoying VAMPS and I'm anticipating more singles, an album, and a long tour from them next year, but I will love it if L'Arc are able to do things next year too. I guess L'Arc will be releasing new single(s) soon!!

SWEET DREAMS full PV!!!

KYAAAA finally the full version on youku.com >>

TT_____TT


And, OMG I see some of the people from our group!!!! Everyone looks so awesome + pretty ♪
This is SO COOL!

I love the cover of SWEET DREAMS, my favorite colors >>



I can't wait for the PVs!!! SWEET DREAMS PV with clips of USA and SWEET DREAMS - acoustic PV with "cozy/at home taste" ♥ I'm sure it will be lovely.

And... !!! When I first checked e-mail and news, I didn't notice this (lol) so later it surprised me:

VAMPS having a Halloween Event〜♪★ ?!?!

YAY! I'm glad they do something again for Halloween this year!! I was too excited when I read that. xD
I love when they do stuff for Halloween!!!

It seems VAMPS news page says if you buy SWEET DREAMS single, you can access a page on your mobile phone and enter ID # that came with single and be put in a lottery for 50 sets of 2 invitations to the Halloween event, premium live that will inevitably sell out etc (useless info for us outside of Japan anyway；； sad) something like that anyway.

no doubt I will not be able to go BUT it will be fun to hear about & read reports anyway surely yes♪
and COSTUMES!!! *_* who wants to make guesses what the five will come up with this year 8D

Monthly VAMPS Vol.13 available at CDJapan:

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=NEOIPS-717

Is it exactly the same as the one from Catchbon?! I want to order it after I get back from LA, but now, which site to order from?!
ARRGGHH. If I order from CDJapan, I could combine shipping with SWEET DREAMS single as well... ∑(゜△゜;)

I thought MV13 wouldn't be available from CDJapan.

########################

And also, VAMPS USA >> haven't had time to write any reports really, I told some of you about my experiences though (´ε｀)

I went to the SF and Vegas shows, and I wasn't planning to go to LA but very last minute (like... today xD) decided I really wanted to see the USA final show as well so... today I leave for LA!!! I'll be back on Aug 3 and I'll try to write little reports then, even though everything seems like a blur already, so surreal. I wish I could just take Hyde home with me j/k j/k.

Just a follow-up...the infos I posted before about MV13 are true!

It's at Catch Bon's site now:

This information I read on 2ch. They aren't always the most reliable source so I don't know for sure if this is true or not, but it's what someone said they read in MV12 about the contents of MV13. Since MV12 only just came out, I haven't been able to find info in other places just yet. I'm awaiting more info but in the meanwhile this is what was said ...

As you know it can be purchased by mail order only~.

Price: 11000 yen

supposedly it will have:
+ HYDE & K.A.Z face T-shirts
+ Anime DVD
+ 13 posters of each MV cover
+ Monthly VAMPS best book

O_O KYAAAA. I hope this info is real because it sounds nice♪
I'm assuming the face shirts are the ones from MV09? and that the anime is of VAMPS, like the comics of them in previous issues. Sounds cuuuuute~.

It's expensive, and especially tough for those already spending so much money to follow them on tour next month (I'm nervous about whether or not I'll be able to order it ... T_T) -- HOWEVER it sounds like it's worth it if you can... ^^


Edit ~> OHOHOH. Someone on 2ch said that it doesn't actually come out until SEPTEMBER. So, I guess this means ORDERING starts next month only?? Don't know if this is true yet or not. X___X
It's too bad if we have to wait until September, but at the same time, if it is possible to order after the USA tour would be easier for me... ;_;

I got VAMPS album in the mail today ♥ the packaging is really awesome, I love the designs!! VAMPS rock★

I took a couple pics of it, not of every page but a couple of them.
the first press also came with a poster but I don't want to unroll it all the way yet ^^;

Don't look if you don't want to have it spoiled for you!!

( VAMPS awesome~ )

DAIGO was on a show Uchikuru today in Japan, and they played a comment to DAIGO from HYDE on the show!! ♥ ♥

I found a little clip of it on 2ch but the uploader deleted it already ;o; sorry

Hyde is wearing that striped sweater and has black painted fingernails~ I love it (*´∀｀*) he so cute




On another note final semester grades came out for my community college yesterday...

I got an A in both my kanji class and japanese grammar class!!
o(・∇・o)(o・∇・)o ヤッタ！I'm so happy♪

Hyde was online the night before my two japanese finals and I stayed up waiting for him
and I only got to sleep for 2 hours but... I still did OK☆
the KING gave me good luck :D

Now next week is finals week at my high school, and then summer... freshman year will be finished ^^ finally.
nervous about some of the finals though-- ;o;

however, VAMPADDICT opens in 2 days, I'm so EXCITED!! See you there♪
