The guys arrived in Nagoya the day before the live and had a free day.
At night they had a dinner together, then went their separate ways. The next day, Jon decided he wanted to greet fans with a very very pleasant surprise by tweeting....
"本当にTHANK YOU EVERYONE!! Waking up to so many birthday messages made me feel...

GOOD MORNING TO YOU TOO, JON!
At sometime around 2.30 to 3pm, the guys trooped into the venue with their equipment, Jon, rui and Miyagawa-san pulling up the rear. And at 4:30pm they took to the stage!!
1. One Reason
2. From the Inside Out
3. Ever Free
4. From the Heart
5. Ten
6. Close To You (Jp)
7. コズミカリズム
If you've read Jon's blog about the event (
Japanese,
English) there were some technical difficulties before their set and during as well, and quite a few things happened. In the end, it still went pretty smoothly and the guys worked very hard to get the crowd pumped up and excited for their set.
And if you've been stalking checking twitter, rui's in LA now working on the mixing for their new album with
Jay Baumgardner (Woah check out how up to date the wiki page is)! Oh and he's also working in the same studio as VAMPS right now! (Aaaand he's been happily tweeting about all the food he's been chomping on, like pancakes at IHOP, M&Ms and cheetos. Oh and asking kansei to go visit him.)
It's rainy season now in Japan and raining pretty much all day everyday. rui and kansei don't seem to like the weather and neither does noriyuki. So he wants you to
send him pictures of hydrangeas to heal him. Jon's been teasing about the new tracks, oh wait,
nori too, and to end on a random note, Miyagawa-san's reputation is increasing by the day! Tommie from NEW BREED tweeted to Godo the other day about how cool their manager is. Ahaha.
Alright! Finally I shall leave you all with this:
Can you read what Jon wrote?
