K.A.Z san's present check time~~ *
At Yoyogi, before opening the gates, I was in the crowd, taking a commemorative photo. I've come from a violent shot (^_^)/ Too bad it was rather dark~~(cry)
The gates were opened~~~~!! (note) It'll get dangerous if you run!!
It's 20 mins to the actual performance. This is the appearance of the backstage at the moment.
The venue feels like that while waiting the live~~ *
We're almost there. The tension in the guest seats are also MAX~~ *

-MC03-
JIN:"Ladies and gentlemen present here at Yoyogi Gymnasium. Good Night. At last, the long-lasting LIVE comes to its final today. Today seems like a challenge while it embraces every feeling of all the members....
By the way, I don't have this way of speaking of a ghost host habitually... Since I dare saying my normal way of speaking is not quite rockish, I changed a bit my speaking tone, but..... I thought of trying to use my usual tone of chatting at least for the last day.................... Yes. For instance, I'm Saito JIN~~ w I'm sorry for this plain voice instead of that other one with a feeling of tension I used to put on it~w
Errrr, I'm very grateful for these 3 years that you let me enjoy a lot as VAMPS' support member. Awhile ago, I asked to a staff to search this info .... and the number of the VAMPS' lives is really impressive.... In the year 2008, we had 49 lives. In 2009, 59 lives. In 2010, 75. In total, they count 183 lives. The case is we’ve made such an splendid number of lives!!! Besides, when we include the rehearsal and the training camp days here, we can have the true feeling that we really stayed a long time together ~w
I often feel very embarrassed and can't tell things right on the face, but.... Thank you VAMPS!!! And....Thank you ADDICTS!!!! Well, .... The LIVE is soon getting to the second half.... I think it's getting to the end.... Then, VAMPS' Ladies and Gentlemen, before you press on me with more (*searching for words*) questions all at once, fu fu fu..... hahahaha..... (JINsan's bitter laughter)"
HYDE:"I'm hungry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! I'm hungry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! The craziest person here is gonna feed~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!! Where are you!!!!! Where are you!!!! At the standing area~~~~~~~~??? At the Arena~~~~~~~~~~?? Let's hunt together!!!!Let's HUNTING!!!!!!!!!"
- During HUNTING -
HYDE:"May I keep on doing it? May I keep on doing, doing it? ~~w Where is~"
- Teasing before TROUBLE -
HYDE:"Ohhhhhh~ Ohhhhhh~Hey hey hey, Tokyo!! Today... Get crazy!!! You all and we all, let's get crazy!!! Let's go to a nice place together!!! Because I'm going to lead you to a nice place!!! Please, listen to what this older man is saying~~* Because I'm gonna take you to a nice place~ Do it!!Do it~~~~~~~~~!!! Do it~~~~~~~~~!! Are we making, Yoyogi? I hate when it's only half-hearted words. Do it~~~~~~~!! We won't have it in awhile? Do you understand?Do you know about it? Do it~~~~~~~~!!
I'm telling you to save money. I'm telling you to save~~~~~!!! Spill it all out from that so-called hole. Are you following me? Will you let out a higher voice just a little? Come on come on come on....................fu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ww More, more, more!!!! Yoyogi!!!! Do it!!!! Do it !!!! Yoyogi~~~~~~!!Do it~~~!!! Waaaaa!!!! Let's come more!!! More More More!!! Because if you let out your higher voice, I'll end up coming!!! Wow~~~~~i!!! x 8"

HYDE:"Come on Arly!!!"
Arly's Solo. In the big LED screen, it was written HAPPY BIRTHDAY. When the solo finished, the HAPPY BIRTHDAY song was sang in a chorus---→cake.
HYDE: "Well, ....Congratulation. Happy Birthday. Ah, you’d better not eating it~w well, there you go!! (*Arly blows the candles*) Tell us some words...."
Arly: "Well,.... To be frank, you receive the schedule of what would be done in this live, right? I was aware of it quite a long time before, ne. Well, it’s an enormous happiness being able to celebrate my birthday in front of this huge crowd. Well, though it's my birthday today, I was watching the camera in the entrance in the monitor before and it seems there are people whose birthday is also today, so....Congratulations for you!!!! And Congrats for me as well!!!"
HYDE:" Which means ..... Don't bring a birth day to the last day. Ah, he's not listening.... OK. As for your birthday. Let's drink together after here!!!
Sooooo, you all, don't save regrets!! Can I make it!! Because today is our last day together!!! Please, go crazy!! Can I make it?! Since I want to make it an intense night, I need your help!!! Help me!!! Come on!!!!! Lucy!!!!!!!!"
- The hook-up before REVOLUTION –
Instead of K.A.Z, a golden frog doll. HYDE lip-synced it saying: "K.A.Z? Ah, there? Come". K.A.Z enters on the stage and while playing a little with the frog..... HYDE (makes it) kiss K.A.Z's cheek.
-MC05-
Ju-ken: "Yeah~~~!!! Tokyo yeah!!! It's getting to the end. It was also very enjoyable for me. I may say I had a great experience..... Ohhh, the earthquake? Somehow, I've really received various great things as a present from God.... As a person, as well as a musician. I received 2 dear brothers I can reverence:.... HYDE san.....K.A.Z san....
Though we're the same age, Arly who is like a brother and sister I can rely on....And, after me, holding me back is the bad drunk lady (?) JIN san.... It's really a great joy being able to be part of this team. Thank you, truly!! Now I used the word "team", but it’s not only us. It's also the staff that are always supporting us as well. That’s how I feel..... Of course, I feel the same about everybody that nicely came here today..... I also feel the same about the VAMPS fans, the ADDICTS from all over the world that for some reason could not be here.... I think this doesn't consist only of us. If this feeling continues, since we're all Team VAMPS.... Let's meet somewhere again. Thank you~~ !!"
HYDE: "Hai. Hai. Hai. Hai...... There’s already just a few left by now, but first of all.... Let's have fun!!! Before, your voice was greatly high, right? May you let me listen to it once more?......................Fu.........!!! So, if you can do it, you really can do it. Because I won't forget you all..... So, listen to MEMORIES, please".
-MC06-
K.A.Z:" Errrr.... This year, we've done 75 lives and we've also toured around the world.... Errr..... We could only really get this far because of you all. I'm truly thankful to all the staff that supported VAMPS in the shadows... Thank you!! Really.... You're all very nice people. Somehow, HYDE almost cannot find time to sleep and stays up making plannings, designs, ne..... Soon... it will be over. .... Everyone, please, in the end, make yourself good memories, have fun and get back home. Let's meet again. Thank you..."
HYDE:"Huum~~ Make it a little brighter, please (**the illumination**). It's dark. Hey!! Then, I’m supposed to say some words as well.... It really seems that during these 2 years and a half I abandoned myself making all the things I wanted to do as a child. All around the world, ne.
Though we've made a lot..... Thank you so much for following these VAMPS!!! Well, I think there's no one who got to this point in 2 years and a half. It almost feels very surprising having this resume (**the amount of lives they've done**) in only 2 years and a half. Somehow, I know I'm really reaching to the depths of you. Even if I tell you it's your vibes, it's really that vibe there, but I'll reach it. No matter if I’m doing this here, or if I'm doing this in a small place, the sensation doesn't change. Surely, I know such connection is rare to get.....Feeling this way about us... Thank you.
VAMPS (**the band**) was enjoying it while she kept going… Because of that, ... I asked you to wait for us in the entrance because I also wanted to meet you so much when we were entering the venue~w It was terribly enjoyable. I think we're not just fan and artist, we're friends.... When you're not excited, the concert doesn't come up~w Let's make it again together, LIVE.
Until then, keep on saving a lot every way, please. Are you OK with that? Because we're both addicted to VAMPS~w Well..... You tell me a lot "Thank you", but.... Actually, that's my line, so thank you!!!!!! Thank you all, ne. Well, since something here is getting damp...Do you want to try going crazy with me? Ahhh, here I go!!!! Tokyo!!!!!!!You told me to let everything out!!!!!I'm going to explode!!!!!!! Here I go, Tokyo!!!!! Tokyo!!!!!! Here I.......go!!!!!!!!!Tokyo!!!!!!! Well, KAZ kun, let's come.....?"
- After the end of the performance -
HYDE:"Thank you----------------Tokyo!!!!!!!You're all fantastic..... So, that's why I'm coming back here again. Until then, wash your neck and wait for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Well, I'm very happy for VAMPS activies this year. Those guys did really great. They've been working quite hard since New Year, as far as I can remember!! Also, they successfully released a veeery good album, BEAST, which is really impressive and even better then their 1st work. I love this album, actually. They got a wonderful balance in the compositions and the quality of their sound and richness is undeniable. I'm happy I could listen the band twice live. It's amazing, really. And the lives are fun and very exciting. HYDE san and K.A.Z san did great with VAMPS and surely ARIMATSU san, JIN san and Ju-ken san were necessary parts of it all, making their mixture possible, contributing with their experience, art, music and friendship ^^
I think I feel just like Haido san said about the end. Time has passed and I didn't feel it. I remember I got to know VAMPS returning to HYDE san who sweetly healed some wounds in my heart whispering in my ears with that voice of his_ the only one I'll ever love_ the songs of L’Arc’s KISS album, making me remember what true love sounds like.
So, returning to his arms, I've met VAMPS. Hopefully. And while I was writing many posts about them, the closer I got. And further I went. I've become a hydeist member and got to know Haido san a little better, reading his posts, interviews and talking to his fans ^^ By his words in the MCs, I knew his naughty tricks, charms and preferences(^^) Then, at a certain moment (I think I may say that. Yeah, it was somewhere while getting closer to his sexiness) I began to see through the artist, through the person I got to know in a magazine that I was used to admire as a muse. Somehow he became real to me.
In this process of becoming real to me, I think I’ve also become more mature as a human in different fields of my life. He inspires me even more now and I admire him deeply. Sometimes, when I see the powerfulness and the vitality in the way he makes his imagination alive, putting into shape his ideas, I feel very inspired and full of energy to do the same myself about certain aspects of my life, work and everything. Lots of people think that doing beautiful artistic things are just a matter of having the touch of Beauty and some inspiration but it's not. Putting art into practice requires sooo much physical and mental effort from the artists. It's a really hard work and, before anything, a matter of perseverance. So, I've learned with Haido san during these 2 years and a half we spent together with VAMPS:
1-to have perseverance over my projects 2- to believe anything is possible 3- real love exists 4- God looks after all of us 5- we're all part of God and we're magically connected no matter how far we are 6- it's important to have dreams and fight to make them come true 7- a sound may vary according to the country your are ^^ 8- we don't have necessarily to leave our child side as we age 9- Japanese is beautiful and trickery 10- ame to muchi is only good when I'm receiving ame~~ * 11- once sexy, always sexy 12- Haido san's male body is very inspiring 13- Santa Claus exists~~ *
lol
So, love has bloomed intensity to that level that makes me feel that it could never really get to an end. Because, as I've always believed, good things, the things that makes us happy will never end as long as they live inside us. Such things last forever.
I may say I touched one of my biggest and most cherished dreams this year. I feel very lucky because when I was in Japan, the familiar, loved voice and the sounds I heard were from him. I went to VAMPS concert and, by that time, I felt I was not crazy for loving so deeply.I felt happiness, excitement, love and the fusion was marvellous.
Together with all the great moments I had there in Japan, helping to construct this nice warm feeling of happiness I feel every time I recall my time in there, there is that incredible crazy night. He was there with me. And all his band was there with me. And all these 12 years made sense.
No, Haido san, for all you've always given to me, it's still I who have to thank you. Thank you a lot. I love you. I’m very happy we could exist at the same era~* I hope you keep on putting into practice anything you get in this precious genius mind of yours. I’m looking forward for beautiful things in the future~*
And thank you all VAMPS members. You do know how to make good music~*
VAMPS made such a great job making a wonderful tour in Japan and in many countries overseas. Many people were very happy joining their lives.
Personally, I feel very satisfied. BEAST tour was wonderful. I came a lot with Haido san. I got crazy amd shouted with intense joy. I let out my higher voice and danced, jumped and enjoyed it all with no regrets~* I loved the tour. I don't feel sad because they'll do a pause in their activities because I'll also enjoy L'Arc~en~Ciel commemorating its 20th anniversary and I do feel they must be a little tired because they worked a lot in 2010. I feel happy because it was an amazing year!!
I’m looking forward for more good works by VAMPS in 2012, though~
I'll be waiting to be bitten once again.
But VAMPS still have the
「VAMPS LIVE 2010 BEAST -FINAL DINNER SHOW-」that will be held in Hokkaido.Furano, land of VAMPS’ memories, where surprises that exceed all the previous OFF KAI done until then will meet everybody. This event is restricted to VAMPADDICT members and their guests.
I want to attend it ~
OMAKE
Team VAMPS~~ *
