Upon an unexpectedly early, but not unexpectedly existent, HALLOWEEN PARTY 2012, VAMPROSE has officially unveiled what we may consider new VAMPS material, although it's technically not VAMPS.

With collaborations from K.A.Z as well as DAIGO, Acid Black Cherry, and the rest of the HALLOWEEN PARTY 2012 guests, HYDE and the gang under the monicker "Halloween Junky Orchestra" will be releasing a single entitled HALLOWEEN PARTY on October 17.

Both limited and normal versions of the single will contain a DVD with the music video of the single. So what the difference is, I have no idea.

Tracklist-
01. HALLOWEEN PARTY (music and lyrics: HYDE)
02. Inst. (instrumental version of the title track)
-DVD-
01. HALLOWEEN PARTY MV

I am sooooooooo excited for this!! :D

Yey　＾３＾　Good news... "Halloween Party" I was waiting for you~ ahahahah ;D

Thanks for the info.

I'm so happy!!!

Oooh, super exciting, I love the name 'Halloween Junky Orchestra.'

Really curious to see the PV, there are many ways to have fun with a Halloween video.

Lots of different people on there. I was glad to see Aki also listed.

For those wondering, the single is already available on CD Japan. Apparently, the limited edition includes a poster, which I just know I'm going to badly want.

Thanks for posting! So I guess the second track isn't an instrumental version of the title track. Now I'm really curious.

when i ordered this yesterday, it looked to me that both versions would get a poster, BUT only the limited edition would have the "※Limited Edition Booklet". i might be wrong. but i went with the booklet version in the hopes that it will have more coverage from last year's Halloween Party. much of the participants are the same each year.

does anyone know what happened with Anis and Ali/MONORAL? they haven't released anything in 2-3 years now. it seems weird for them not to be involved in Halloween with Hyde, since they were in the 1st few years.

This project which goes by the name HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA is made of HYDE (VAMPS), Acid Black Cherry, DAIGO (BREAKERZ), kyo (D'ERLANGER), Tommy february6/Tommy heavenly6, Tatsurou (MUCC), Tsuchiya Anna, Aoki Ryuuji, K.A.Z (VAMPS), Hitsugi (Nightmare), Aki (SID), RINA (SCANDAL) and Wakeshima Kanon.

Let's check them out!

[End of quote]

'Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.

Loving the photos! And I mean, really loving the photos!

Now it's time for some CD jackets!

Limited Edition


Standard Edition, I think


I love them both. :'( - Very spooky and Halloweeny!

Also, according to the Halloween party page, the PV will be played TOMORROW (!!!) and the single will be played on the radio!


Also also, here's the final tracklist-
-CD-
01. HALLOWEEN PARTY (music/lyrics: HYDE)
02. Penalty Waltz (music: HYDE)
-DVD-
01. HALLOWEEN PARTY MV (Directed by Ken Nikai)

Let it be marked from here onwards that Penalty Waltz is the first HYDE/VAMPS title with proper capitalization.

I should probably point out if you end up having the same difficulty as me and can't see the updates made to the page (vamprose.com/halloweenparty) then make sure you type in "www." in the address. If that doesn't work, then wait a bit, I guess.

Overall, I am ecstatic. I can't wait for tomorrow.

EDIT - L'Arc~en~Ciel America on FaceBook posted this:

If I wasn't excited before, I am shaking with anticipation now! This looks and sounds awesome! Tim Burton would shed tears of joy looking at this.
