It has been an interesting nine years for Japanese rock duo VAMPS. Forged in 2008 by two musicians already famous in their own right -- HYDE, vocalist of the legendary pop-rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel (anime fans may recognize his voice from the Full Metal Alchemist opening, “Ready Steady Go”) and K.A.Z. from the grittier alt-rock Oblivion Dust. They are supported by bassist Ju-ken (GacktJOB, Spin Aqua, Tomoyasu Hotei), Jin Saito (L’Arc~en~Ciel support), and Arimatsu. Having already worked together for three years on HYDE’s chart-topping solo albums 666 and Faith, VAMPS just seemed like more of a good thing, even if it was just a cheeky side project.   Pentagon is one of the hottest visual kei bands around today and following a string of strong releases and tours they recently announced that they are embarking on their first overseas live performance at A-Kon in Texas! To go along with this overseas expansion they also took on the name "Pentagon Japan"! With all these announcements and the release of latest single, "CRAZY TRIBE", we at A-to-J decided that now was a good time to get some answers from the band themselves about their history, their music, and their upcoming trip to the US!
