Ok, I have been thinking about this for a while, actually. I've come up with some ideas for places that we can spread the word about VAMPS' music. In the last thread, we came up with a series of issues we faced the first time around, what worked, what didn't work, etc... We need as much time as possible to let people know about VAMPS and shed some light on those who are totally in the dark.

I believe, for the time being, word-of-mouth is out best weapon (again, that's just for now). It is a good way for us to get started, at least, and then we progress to utilizing other methods. I've come up with a list of places where we can spread the word over the Internet. The list is a follows (if you have any other additions to the list, please let me know):
1. Music sites - all kinds of different music sites/forums
- MTV.com
- VH1.com
- J-Rock Revolution.com (promotion may already be going on here, but I wanted to list this site anyway)
- LastFM.com
- YahooMusic.com
- Buzznet.com (I created a group for VAMPS here:
[link])
2. Social networking sites:
Ok, many of these do not have "forums" per say, but they do have areas where you can post blogs, journals, status updates, etc...and so I think they would be a good resource to introduce new people to VAMPS.
- MySpace
- Facebook (I created a VAMPS group on Facebook a while back: click here)
- Twitter
- LiveJournal - please post info about VAMPS on every HYDE, K.A.Z, Ju-Ken, Oblivion Dust, L'Arc community. I tried, but this can't be done alone.
- DeviantArt (On my own personal account page, I only post journal entries with news pertaining to VAMPS/L'Arc/HYDE/Gackt and I also try to post new artwork so I can receive more page hits, which will hopefully result in people reading the journal entries and learning about VAMPS)
- Flickr
- Xanga
3. Online Forums
- J-Rock Revolution
- L'Arc~en~Ciel forums:
- Dive to Blue
- L'Arc~en~Ciel European Fan Base
- D-Addicts.com
- HYDE forums (I don't know of any)
- K.A.Z forums/or fansites
- Gackt forums (it's worth a shot as many fans of Gackt tend to be fans of HYDE)
- Music Banter
- Muzic Forum
4. Video sites
Courtesy of Tokio:
"Video and Music (get their music/image out there! Post videos/playlists on your blogs, in forums, so on)
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- iMixes (via iTunes)"
- Veoh
- MySpace vids
- Google vids

Fliering
Ok, so I know we've already done this, but I still think it's helpful in getting the word out. Here are some good places to leave fliers:
1. Hot Topic
2. Music stores (i.e. places where you can buy equipment)
3. CD shops
4. Japanese stores (i.e. markets, gift shops, etc...)
5. Coffee shops/cafes (i.e. The Coffee Bean, Starbuck's, etc...)
6. Libraries
7. Book stores
8. University/college campuses
9. Jamba Juice
10. On buses, trains, planes, etc...
11. Bus/train stations
12. In the back window of your car
13. Leave fliers inside of newspapers/magazines
14. Leave fliers in the stands where brochures are kept
15. Leave fliers in random places inside of shoe/clothing stores
*I made a few fliers that you are welcome to use for now. I made a few in color (4"x6" & 3"x2") and a few in black & white (4"x6" & 3"x2"). You can access them here:
[link]* In regards to posting info about VAMPS in forums, let's try to use "discreet advertising." I mean, if it's obvious that we're there just to promote VAMPS, we could get kicked out of some sites. So yeah, just try not to be too obvious.

HOW TO MAKE "VAMPS:" All you need is one parts HYDE and one parts K.A.Z. Add a dash of sex, blood, rock 'n roll. Shake, shake, shake, but not in a nasty way and enjoy.
