Yeah, they're all over 40, I know that. Lost track of their ages though, sue meh. >:P tetsu and Ken knew each other way back in high school I believe, or during college. I know it was around that time he called him up and Ken became the guitarist for this band instead of doing something else, I forget. Yukihiro joined during the late '90s, and thank god for that, so yeah he'll be with them at least a decade. :D I'm currently re-dLing all of my Laruku stuff again since my PC got BSOD, so I'm just going to be dLing a crap load of music the next few days while I watch all the anime I have yet to see but already dLed. XD My iTunes playlist(s) are going to be friggin' epic! I checked my HD space and it said 18 GB, which was false, so I had to google the issue cause I had over 130 left tops (which I did after figuring out the issue). But yeah, I was like shocked, cause although the Macbook's HD is small, there's no way I used up all the space already. Sucks how emptying the trash will be a more prioritized thing now (like in real life). ![]() ------- |

Alot of people's voice mature as they get older. so yeah. I think hyde's 40-41. roughly. they've been together for like, 19 years. (except ken and yukihiro. xD. but then again, ken and tetsu knew each other for quite a while too) . o.O ![]() ![]() |

These guys are pretty much brothers in real life, they just get back together and can do a song without any practice. Oh, and heard the new single in its entirety, it's pretty good. Maybe not another #1 on the Oricon charts, but I can see it easily topping top ten. Actually, forget what I said. Listening to it again, I think it can easily reach top of the charts. And with the help from the Japan Winter Olympics, but this song is really good. HYDE's what, 42? 43? And still hitting those high notes? Though I always said his voice has matured greatly over the years as he got older. ![]() ------- |

I got the news from shattered-tranquility, but im not sure. yeah i will still call him tetsu too. xD I'm guessing a few singles before an album in late 2010. I'm sure they are prepared >.> ![]() ![]() |

If they're releasing singles, we might possibly get one more full length album from them before quits. I mean they are getting older, no matter if they sound even better than 15 years ago. Tetsuya is tetsu's real name anyways, so there's some understanding there, but I'll still call him tetsu. Lives only from 2011 onwards? So maybe more singles from now until their big concert, then more tours? Interesting. ![]() ------- |

Yeah, song was used for like the Japan Winter Olympic qualifier or something when I saw. It sounds pretty nice, gotta hear the verses and stuff, but the chorus seems relaxing. Probably will be used for some anime ED, something calm, something smooth, something that'll make you fall asleep (in a good way). Hopefully this is a sign that they'll fully come back before their reunited concert at their 20th L'Anniversary. I still love them! Ugh, friggin' PC got BSOD so I gotta once again re-obtain all their stuff. ![]() ------- |

I heard KAZ started helping him at one point in time, and helped him all the time after, if i remember correctly. since KAZ has helped him alot, he decided to form a band with him guess. ![]() ![]() |

Yeah they both formed VAMPS so obviously, they'd get more attention than the others. And two guys are only support guys, so they're not officially in the band. lol, good luck with finding their stuff. Overall though, Laruku's stuff tops all of these together. VAMPS hasn't recorded 'Season's Call', I don't think they need to since they know the song, which brings up the question I had above, if "VAMPS" is just the name of HYDE's support members now, but back when he was solo. Recently got their Shibuya Seven Days (CD) and their Awake Tour '05 (CD). I wanted to get their Grand Cross Conclusion (CD), but all I could find is numerous parts to get the DVD, which I don't want. ![]() ------- |

Yeah, I know Vamps is a band and not his Solo Career ~ He's got like uh, k.a.z or something like that on Guitar? And Yeah, I was wanting to look into his solo project. No idea where I could look to get that, however. Yes, I love Cosmos -- That song, or should I say this song ( listening to it as I write this >>; ) is pretty awesome. Does Vamps have that Season's Call 'remake' anywhere, out? I love that song, so it'd be cool if they spiced it up. |

I have one LP shirt that I have NEVER worn! I have to find it somewhere. VAMPS is a band, not hyde's solo career. He had one, but under his own name, "HYDE". VAMPS performed some songs from his Faith album I believe, like "Season's Call", unless the current members of VAMPS now were just support members back when he was doing solo work. The best song, no doubt on VAMPs self-titled debut album is "Cosmos". And what do you mean by Ken? Like, for his solo project? ![]() ------- |

I use to have some Linkin Park shirts back in the day, but that's when I was younger. By now, they've either been thrown out or are lost in the attic/closet. No idea where they could be, lmao. Anyway, i just realized I actually have heard Vamp before, and I really love them, rofl. Im actually downloading the new album from them right no--... Well, it's not "New", but it's their latest. "Evanescent" was the one song by them I really loved, and now I'll get to hear the whole thing full of some Hyde awesomness ~ I didn't realize that was Vamps, though, because my friend just said it was a solo song by Hyde, rofl. Now I know though :D By the way, does Ken just go by " Ken "? If so, I'll check my source site. |

The only Japanese band shirts you can find here in the states is Dir en Grey (I have one), though it's too bad they're not good anymore. :/ There possibly are stores online, but they only ship to areas in Asia or something like that. If it's just Japanese clothes, yeah you can find a bunch of stores, but if we're talking about music here, nearly none exist here. Though I have some AM band shirts, I'd still prefer JP shirts since that's the type I music I listen to more often. I know this one kid that only wears, like, band shirts and occasionally plain t's and plad shirts. I checked out his album, "In Physical" last night and overall, not bad. You get used to his vocals if you've heard him sing with Laruku on some songs, so I wasn't surprised on a few songs. ![]() ------- |

Woooow, I really like the Wristbands there and the Black-Sleeved Shirt! I would buy those up pretty quick, and be sporting a band that no one I know IRL would know, haha. But yeah, It'd be nice if there were stores around here that maybe imported things like that to be sold here. As for the stores, I think there are some in big cities that import those kinds of things or import them after you order them at the store. I wish I could find one like that near here, but I doubt that will happen. :[ And Yeah, I'll check out Ken's album then. If you like a song from it already, it must be pretty good. I just need to find somewhere that has it ~ |

You should. Their stuff is just that great. I listen to their stuff literally everyday. I'm about to check out Ken's album. It released a few months ago and I already like "Deeper" from it. I just found this, but what a surprise, not sold in the states... Wtf, why isn't anything from Japanese bands sold in the US!? Not only that, their store from their website is completely in Japanese and I highly doubt they're sold in the US as well. I try to find some merch store that has links to stores in Japan, but nothing still. :/ I SO want that white sleeved white t-shirt Tour shirt, zomg!! ![]() ------- |
