ugh the next time that I try to bitch at someone immediately after I wake up someone stop me and make me read over both the offending post and my reply please wow I feel like such a bitchy idiot

vampsx reblogged your post: IMPORTANT - Please Read and Pass On

I’m not quite sure to whom you were referring to at the end of your post - me or J - but I was just merely passing along the message. I’m not “policing” anyone. o_O

Oh wow, my sincere apologies! I thought J’s message was merely the portion above the serious message paragraph in your original post, and the subsequent paragraph was your own words. The original intent of my post still stands, but ignore the parts that are directed toward you personally and pretend that they are directed toward J. Again, I apologize for any confusion that was caused by my reading comprehension fail.

vampsx:

I will delete the previous post containing the download link for “AHEAD.” In addition to his message, J commented that the song will be released in iTunes stores overseas. Read what he had to say:

“VAMPS just signed with Universal Music, so you can expect things will be a bit different for distribution. They have international divisions though, so VAMPS new songs should be available world-wide on iTunes. We did this (in part) to make things easier for international fans to have access… honestly, we’re trying to get the music to you as quickly as possible in the formats you want. I appreciate everyone who is waiting for VAMPS songs on the iTunes store in their country.” 

Like I mentioned in the post that contained the download link, I do not promote the illegal downloading of VAMPS’ music/DVDs without fans ever purchasing the materials. I just felt that we should all have the opportunity to listen to the song, just like everyone in Japan can. At any rate, the post will be removed today from all my social media sites. :3

Let’s keep checking iTunes to see whether or not the song is available to be purchased. ;)

J’s message to fans: 

“VAMPS, ‘AHEAD’, is out on Japanese iTunes! Since it is not yet May 22nd on other parts of the world though, you have to wait a bit longer. 

-start serious message-

On that note, I must mention that it makes me sad to see people sharing the song illegally. We can see who you are, what country you’re from, and how you seem so proud of your actions. So many fans understand that if they buy the music, the number of international sales increases, and then it is easier for the band to travel overseas and do concerts in your area. A few people don’t seem to understand or care about that relationship though, and it is just unfortunate for everyone involved. We’re talking about a song that costs less than the price of a cup of coffee, but that you will own forever (unlike coffee I hope). Please consider this before writing, ‘Come to Chile’, or ‘Come to France’, or ‘Come to (your country here)’, on my comments if you’ve been sharing the song, downloaded the song illegally, or got it without paying.

For those of you paid, or are waiting to pay… I salute you. You make my job of helping to get VAMPS music out to the world easier. Thank you.

-end serious message-

‘AHEAD’… VAMPS-tastic!”

[this entire thing is directed at J, sorry for any prior confusion!]

Can you get off of your fucking ~I’m sad that people share music illegally~ high horse already it’s pathetic and makes you look incredibly naive. Yes, illegally sharing music does bring down profits and there’s no real way to defend it blahblah, but to indicate that fans that choose to download the song illegally are in any way, shape, or form lesser and not deserving of a concert is ridiculous, not to mention insulting.

In addition, purchasing a measly 4 minute song is not the only way that one can support VAMPS, and if a fan chooses to fund them in alternate ways it shouldn’t lessen them by any means. Sorry if it pisses you off that I choose to save my money for concert tickets rather than a hypothetical physical copy of a single that I’m going to listen to once, or a DVD that I can’t even watch on my computer because of regions. Yes, this is an individual case, but I’m certain that other terrible people who illegally download share similar motives to my own. It isn’t unfortunate, it’s reality, and you ought to realize that before you get even more pissed off at things that you cannot change.

tl;dr take a fucking seat already and stop policing fans it just makes you look like a piece of shit

The time when Hyde tried to grow a mustache…

“the time” I fucking wish wow this pathetic mess has happened multiple times and every single time it’s been a fucking bald spot ridden disaster and yet the lazy little shit keeps trying

*Thanks to Hideto Suzuki for posting this!

Check out the lyrics to “AHEAD”:


I start over again.
No way そうハイになるまで,
It’s driving me insane.

World’s end 想像浮かべて先を占え
I ask myself, What then can I do?

Everything I’m craving,
all the things I wanna do.
And I don’t know what to do,
I’m not…

What happened to the all-English album plans? too lazy to get the dictionary for those few sentences?

It feels like he’s constantly talking about Pirates of the Caribbean: World’s End, especially given his PIRATE KEI look for the last year.

I haven’t felt this much second-hand lyric embarrassment since Gackt kept mixing “Another World” and L’Arc’s “Neo Universe” into “My Father’s Day.”

the hipster furby pirate kei look needs to get thrown out of the fucking window already it should’ve stopped being a thing after the last vamps tour

and hahaha clearly he left his iPhone/iPad/mac/etc across the room and was too lazy to get up hence the random ass japanese
