Faith LiveHYDEJebus Hyde! I believe you!
If you are used to see hyde with L'arc-en-Ciel, this will be a surprise (hope a good one). Hyde goes a little crazier every time he tours without the good boys from Laruku, but this is not precisely bad! The musicians make a great job, the stage is cool, and hyde's outfit is superb... also superb when he takes his shirt off, like he did on Realive Club Circuit X-D The additional material DVD is like candy, very amusing and cool and you get to see hyde dive into the audience and K.A.Z getting mad at the sound technician... priceless! :-D Buy Buy Buy!! You might like to get the Blu-ray, though :-.

Monthly VAMPS #6VAMPSConvinving like a free T-Shirt!
Personally, I liked the comic, it was funny and I understood it even when I know no Japanese, the style is fresh and funny and I like the character design, I liked it even being extremely short! ... I've come across people that dislike the comic... but the shirt is awesome!!! It is small and thus, fits the body, it looks cool and makes you prettier :-D well, maybe not, but it creates the illusion X-D

Monthly VAMPS #7VAMPSIt's all about fashion
... and music of course!!! But if I has to describe this magazine in few words they'd be: "cool guys in great clothes". "OUT OF PRINT" I think is synonym for "Great product" right?

I Gotta Kick Start Now [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]VAMPSKickass Single
The cover art is even better if possible than that used in Love Addict single, the box has the same very-pretty-not-practical design, the postcard is very cool too :-D I wonder how they made the picture! :-O My only regret for this Single is that the TROUBLE PV is not in it T_T Trust me, people, buying the singles as they are released is easier than waiting for Xmas... OMG the waiting!!!!

Chronicle 4L'Arc-en-CielGreat compilation
Since regular Mexican TV won't feature Laruku on regular airtime, youtube is my usual source of PVs, watching those in chronicles is a whole new experience. Seventh Heaven is stunning at the fisrt view, then you sort of go wild with joy X-D the costumes of the dancers are a visual feast of textures and color. Also it is great to watch Shine on a bigger screen. Don't lose the chance to get a gourgeous first press of this material :-)

VAMPS Live 2008VAMPSGREAT! You wanna buy this!
You'll get to listen to Glamorous Sky sung by hyde and watch him (again) shirtless. Need any more reasons? Great performances, slightly different version of Evergreen, crazy outfits and an additional footage DVD containing the usual dorky cool stuff from hyde PLUS K.A.Z And you also get to see -J :-D Pure pleasure! See? Gotta have it

Are you ready? 2007 Mata Heart ni Hi wo Tsuketo! in OKINAWAL'Arc-en-CielIt's pink! you gotta have it!
Pink has seldom be so cool! The pig is cute, the details in the design amazing, from Japan-shaped spilled pain to the holographic pink of the cover and tatooesque logo. Also provides some of the funniest minutes of backstage material, like seing Hyde at the terror house, and watch Tetsu getting vaccined X-D Go go! your Laruku collection is not complete withouth this item! If you don't own any DVD yet, this is a good way to start, they all look pretty, perform very well (hyde shows a very trained voice) and you get to see Ken's fingers up close at MHDD intro! What else can you ask for? Yukihiro doesn't faint, but he does an excellent job X-D Buy buy buy! is my advice.

Tour 2007-2008 Theater of KissL'Arc-en-CielGreat Show!!! That's entertainment!
After the discreet AYR 2007, ToK comes as a blast of color and production! I am not such a fan from Alice in Wonderland, but I love how they managed it, the outfits are amazing and the performances are exceptional on their quality. The Parade is specially cool! It is looooong! 2 dvds, many many songs and different clothes and the usual good ads and jokes. Absolutely loved it :-) hope you buy it.

Nexus 4 / ShineL'Arc-en-CielTake this as a pleasant palliative
I am not very much into buying singles, since they are sort of expensive, very short, and the songs most of the times can be gotten at the Albums... but this time... This songs are in no album yet! So, come on people get this ASAP! it will help you endure the months withouth new Albums or LIVES until they come :-p Too bad the First Press is over, the IDs were cool. I got a Ken card ;_; I wanted hyde... but then again ken looks incredibly beautiful in the ID so, 'm happy with it *w*

Monthly VAMPS Vol.2VAMPSGreat graphics
This is my favorite cover to the date, the 5th was very cool and the 6th very cute, but this one keeps my heart! I don't really know why, though. I feel it is very powerful due to the contrast and the colors and the style. It does not look as a teenage musical magazine, nor as a comic book... Is like the cover of a cool asiatic version of Rolling Stones magazine :-P As for the contents, the photographs are top of the line, the editorial design is very fresh in general... and I can't read japanese but at 1word per minute speed X-D so, I can't really say anything about the periodistic quality, but I found it worth the price only looking at it, withouth needing to read it, although I hope to be able to read my MVMagazines someday ;_;

Love Addict [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]VAMPSShiny!
I loved this CD and the DVD too, it is short, of course, but worth it! the packaging is weird, I cannot lie, not very practicall the box, but it is pretty, the design is great and the music too. If you love energetic rock songs, Love addict will make you dance, if you are more into the quite soft romantic ones, Time goes by will have you singing soon enough. It may seem expensive, but don't lose the chance to be there when VAMPS are born ;-)
