1) VAMPS is a Japanese rock unit by HYDE (lead vocalist of L'Arc~en~Ciel) and K.A.Z (guitarist of Oblivion Dust, hide with Spread Beaver and Spin Aqua). HYDE and K.A.Z have been working together since HYDE's third solo album FAITH, which was released in 2006. In early spring 2008, they announced the name-change for HYDE's solo project - and officially formed a band. One of the reasons being to give more credit to K.A.Z for his work. Thus VAMPS was born.
2008 » VAMPS released their first single LOVE ADDICT in July, featuring a B-side track TIME GOES BY. The band took major risks with the single, for the song is written entirely in English - they were worried it may not do well in Japan because it is not written in Japanese. However, despite all doubts and concerns, the single debuted at #2 on the Oricon charts. Not long after, they launched a nationwide, 3-month, Zepp exclusive tour with no less than 46 shows.
2009 » Following the completion of the first tour, a DVD of the concerts was released in February. Their second single I GOTTA KICK START NOW, released in March, features a cover version of TROUBLE. They're aiming even higher with their third single EVANESCENT, due to release on May 13th, as this single will feature their cover of Life On Mars?. Another tour is planned for the following summer, and in addition to the usual Zepp livehouse shows, they're also playing concerts around the U.S.A. and wrapping it all up with arena concerts in Japan. Their first album is due to release on June 10th, during the tour. They released their 4th single and their last from their debut album, Sweet Dreams on September 30th
2010 » VAMPS received the 'Billboard Japan Ranking International 2009' award on January 31st which was followed by the release of the DVD Vamps Live 2009 U.S.A. on March 17th. They released a single Devil Side, the first single off of their new album and then their sixth single Angel Trip was released on June 9th. Their second album BEAST was released on July 28th. In the fall of 2010 VAMPS went on their first-ever world tour, they visited Taiwan, United States, Spain, France, China and Chile. They released the MVs for Piano Duet and Memories in early December.

Vamps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just beyond my reach
How sweet and innocent you were
If I could cross
my night into the sun
All my words to you,
I still wonder what I'd say
Stray dream of you
to find the way
In the darkest night
of my lost and frozen heart
Long ago...
Even if things don't change...
uh...
So the shadow's dark
won't cloud your clear skies
I watched over you,
hidden in the dark from you
Stray dream of you
lights the chain of stars
to find the way
In the darkest night
of my lost and frozen heart
Even now... Even now...
More than the world
and more than life to me
you're so dear
You won't be hurt
My words to you,
gently whispered
through the windowpane
They just fade away
from my lips -
"I love you"
Stray dream of you
lights the chain of stars
to find the way
In the darkest night
of my lost and frozen heart
Even now...
The lyrics of Vamps's song "Vampire" tell a story of unrequited love from a vampire's perspective. The vampire describes the object of his affections as sweet and innocent, with a dazzling smile just out of reach. He laments the fact that he can't express his feelings to her, wondering what he would say if he could. He dreams of her at night and watches over her from the darkness, hoping that she won't be hurt. He whispers his love to her through a windowpane, but the words disappear before they can reach her.
The vampire's feelings are complicated by his own nature as a creature of the night. He fears that his shadow will darken her clear skies, and that his frozen heart will never be able to give her warmth. Yet he still holds onto the dream of being with her, even though he knows it can never be. The song's haunting melody and emotional lyrics create a sense of melancholy and longing that is both beautiful and sad.

The dazzling smile was just beyond my reach
I was unable to reach for your captivating smile despite my desire to do so
How sweet and innocent you were
You were a gentle and pure being that I found enchanting
If I could cross my night into the sun
I wish I could shift from this dark and lonely time into a brighter and happier one
All my words to you, I still wonder what I'd say
I am unsure of what to say to you despite having many things I want to express
Stray dream of you lit the chain of stars to find the way
Thinking of you and dreaming of you set a path for me towards my desires
In the darkest night of my lost and frozen heart long ago
I was in a bleak and desolate state of mind where my heart was numb and hopeless in the past
Even if things don't change... uh...
Regardless of what happens, even if nothing changes, I still feel this way
So the shadow's dark won't cloud your clear skies
I want to keep any negative influences away from you so that you can always remain in a state of happiness
I watched over you, hidden in the dark from you
I kept a distant and secretive watch over you without you knowing
Even now... Even now...
Even after all this time has passed, my feelings for you remain the same
More than the world and more than life to me, you're so dear
You mean more to me than anything else in this world, you are extremely precious to me
You won't be hurt
I will protect you and make sure no harm comes to you
My words to you, gently whispered through the windowpane
I will express my feelings to you in a soft and delicate manner
They just fade away from my lips - 'I love you'
Despite my desire to express my love to you, the words never seem to come out properly

まさに“hyde節”とも言うべきドラマティックなナンバー。ストーリー性のあるPVもいいですね。英語詞でも日本語詞でもググッと引き込まれてしまうのは、hydeさんのスキルとセンスの成せる業ですね。
