To remember is only his breaking way of life and smiles. When I was playing the band I thought that if I thought that the light of life could be seen, I think that I could live only 4 more years.

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.  |
