This is a transcript of Tokyo FM "Radio Unlimited F" on October 4th, 2013. The program contained a live broadcast from Berlin, where VAMPS hold a concert on the day before the broadcast.
"Radio Unlimited F" is 4 hours radio program hosted by Hisashi Yamada (Yama-chan) who usually speaks fast and tells a lot of information. So I'm going to pick up only the part Yama-chan talked about VAMPS and simplify it.
*Remeber that my translation is not 100% accurate.

Yama-chan said he received a call (or maybe email) from VAMPS in the morning. It was like,
HYDE "Yama-chan, I heard you're going to broadcast Radio Unlimited from here. If you are at a hotel, we are still staying there as well, so we have time to be interviewed for your program."
And HYDE also invited Yama-chan to dinner.
HYDE "Do you want to join us for dinner?"
Yama "What time will it be?"
HYDE "From 6pm. We reserved a very nice restaurant."
But 6pm in Berlin is 1am in Japan, which is the time the program starts. So poor Yama-chan turned down their invitation.
------------
PARTY AFTER THE LIVE
Yama-chan attended a party after the show in Berlin.
Yama "The day of the concert was a public holiday called German Unity Day. The town was very quiet and moderate, but people around the venue of VAMPS LIVE were very very excited. After the show, they had a drinking party which I was invited to. I heard lots of interesting stories about Europe tour from them. Have you seen the pictures I tweeted last night? It was our dinner, very filling and delicious."

CANCEL OF LONDON & MAIL FROM HYDE
By this time, Japanese listeners on Twitter knew the notice of cancellation of October 6th in London through O2 website and Facebook. The notice said the reason of the cancellation was "illness", so fans got anxious.
Someone tweeted about it to Yama-chan and he realized something happened.
Yama "Don't worry. I met them today and I had dinner with them yesterday. So I can tell you they are OK."
While he was talking, he received an email from HYDE.
Yama "Wait! I got a mail from HYDE at restaurant. I asked him to send me a photo of the dinner, then he did it.... what is he saying...?? 'Yama-chan, I ate'em all.' LOLOLOLOLOL HYDE-san!!! Where is your picture!!!"
So HYDE ate all dishes before he took a picture of cuisine.
Yama "Oh, another mail from HYDE-san. 'I ate them all, but K.A.Z took some pictures before he ate it. I told K.A.Z-chan to send you. Wait a minute.' "
Then Yama-chan talked about Berlin concert.
Yama "The atmosphere of the audience was kind of moderate and slow in the beginning. It was mysterious and mature. I like the atmosphere. Then the band made the audience warmer and they got excited gradually, then we became one with each other at last. I was impressed with fans remembering the lyrics and singing along in English."
Yama "Every time HYDE said something in German, people got crazy. I asked him after the show what he said. He replied 'It's a secret.' He wouldn't tell me! It is wonderful to tell your thought and feeling to fans in local language like that."
VAMPS INTERVIEW
Here's an interview with VAMPS recorded before the broadcast.
Yama "HYDE and K.A.Z from VAMPS!! Thank you for having time for us today. K.A.Z-san, you told me not to come to Europe, but here I am." *laugh*
K.A.Z "Yeah... why did you come here?"
Yama "Because I wanted to see your concert. Uh.......K.A.Z-san? Stop drawing on the copy please...??"
K.A.Z "I am drawing your face."
Yama "Who's that? Me?"
K.A.Z "Yes." *laugh*
Yama "Wait, another person is drawing..... who's this?"
HYDE "This is Yama-chan."
Yama "Did you come to Europe to draw my face?!"
K.A.Z "Sort of, well, it's such an artistic country, I mean an artistic place."
Yama "OK. LOL So you are on a tour in a relaxed mood."
HYDE "K.A.Z's drawing is contemporary art."
Yama "Yes....it's so abstract that I don't know who it is... Stop stop!! Let me take a picture of your drawings later on. Please sign an autograph on it. Well, I'm not here to hear about your drawing. Now you finished the live in Barcelona in Spain, Paris in France and Berlin in Germany, and will perform in London as the final place. There are many listeners who can't attend the Europe tour, so please tell us about your memories and impressions until today. How was Barcelona? What was the most delicious food?"
HYDE "Most delicious food.....? ..........Paella!!!"
Yama "LOL And K.A.Z?"
K.A.Z "Uh...that one-bite-thing."
Yama "I see. You mean like a pincho. Then how was the live in Spain?"
HYDE "Spain? Spain......how was it....?"
Yama "Was it warm in Barcelona?"
HYDE "Yeah, it was."
K.A.Z "Yes, it was warm."
HYDE "Spain is a nation of passion. (*It is often said in Japan.) The audience was passionate too."
Yama "Did you feel the heat in the audience?"
HYDE "Olé-----!!"
Yama "??!! LOL What happened to you?!"
HYDE "Everyone said that, olé!!"
Yama "Seriously? LOL Did you speak Spanish on the stage?"
HYDE "Hola!!"
Yama "O ra?"
HYDE (crack) "Hola---!!!"
Yama "Why did you bang the table now? LOLOL How about you K.A.Z? How was the view from the stage?"
K.A.Z "The audience is extremely hot every time we perform there. Everyone was singing along. They give us a direct reaction."
Yama "So people in Spain are not that shy."
K.A.Z "No."
Yama "Then you went to Paris in France. Remember how it...."
HYDE "Fuooonnsuu. Fugooonsuu." (*He's trying to say "France" in French. LOL)
Yama "Eh?! What are you saying?"
HYDE "Fugoooons."
Yama "Ah, are you speaking French?"
HYDE "Yep. French. Pahariii. Pahariiii." (*This time trying to say "Paris".)
Yama "Is there something got stuck in your throat?" LOL
HYDE "No." *laugh*
Yama "Again, did you speak in French in the gig?"
HYDE "I did. It was hard."
Yama "How was Parisian?"
K.A.Z "They were very smart and fashionable."
Yama "I was on the upper floor and saw many girls with dyed hair in verious colors. Even my blond hair would be hard to spot."
K.A.Z "But you were in sweat suit, weren't you?"
Yama "Yes, I was in jersey. *laugh* I didn't bring any stylish clothes. There were as many men as girls at the concert."
K.A.Z "Yeah."
Yama "They were all excited. You have released international album with English lyrics. Fans in Europe listen to your album and remember the lyrics to sing along in English."
HYDE "Yes. It's scary."
Yama "I know. LOL If you sing in English in Japan, nobody notice when you make a mistake."
HYDE "In Japan, I was like 'No one knows!!' But in here, everyone notices my mistake! It's so scary!!!"
*All laugh*
Yama "It's too late. You've already released the album. But I see. You need to pay attention to various points even while you are singing."
HYDE "Yes, yes."
Yama "I heard that there was some trouble at rehearsal in Paris. How did you manage to carry out?"
K.A.Z "Well, it was an equipment.....no, environment....you know, things like that happen when you work in a different environment."
Yama "So you use the trouble as a springboard to carry on."
K.A.Z "No, we don't use."
Yama "LOLOL Use it! K.A.Z-san!"
K.A.Z "Then we use it." LOL
Yama "LOL Did that make you nervous? I heard it took 30 or 40 minutes to fix it, it could be 1 hour or so..."
HYDE "Uh... It was first time for us like that. The rehearsal was delayed for....more than 2 hours? Well, we always start our live right on time when we perform in Japan. (*They always start live at 19:06, i.e. 6:66.) We are never late in Japan. So we managed to carry out this time too. If the start time is delayed, someone wouldn't be able to go home, or have to get out before the show ends. Delaying the start time is not rare, especially for foreign celebrities. When I went to see Michael Jackson, it was 2 hours of delay."
Yama "2 hours is usually enough to finish one show." *laugh*
HYDE "Yes. But if I do the same and someone can't see the whole concert, they will be disappointed. I don't want it."
Yama "How nice of you. I interviewed with fans at Olympia and knew that they came from various places in Europe, not only in Paris. Just like you said, some of them have to dash to go home after the concert. They have a tight schedule to attend the show."
HYDE "Yes, yes."
Yama "Then you arrived here, Berlin. How were Berliner in the live?"
K.A.Z "They were shy, shyer more than I thought."
Yama "Different from Spain?"
K.A.Z "Different. Um, they looked away when I went straight in front of them."
Yama "Ah, you mean when you come closer to the front row..."
K.A.Z "They looked away. But when I didn't look at them, they looked at me. They are kind of 'Tsundere'." LOL (*an anime slang to describe a contrary but cute person.)
*All laugh*
Yama "Are they?! But it was awesome to see the audience changed from their shy atmosphere to the excited mood gradually..."
HYDE "It's like taking their clothes off."
Yama "What?? What are you talking about?!?!" LOL
HYDE "Just an image." *laugh*
K.A.Z "Ah, but the people I mentioned were men." *laugh*
Yama "What?! Then why did you stare at them?!"
K.A.Z "Just kidding." *laugh*
Yama "But actually the last half of the concert was totally different after you set them free by your music."
HYDE "Yes yes. Yeah."
Yama "One thing I found is that there were proper space on the floor which allows people to move anywhere they like. In Japan, tickets are sold out in a second and a great number of people pack each Zepp venues. So even if you don't like mosh & dive, you can't get out of the crowd. But here at Kesselhaus, some people even enjoyed the show sitting down and drinking some alcohol. I loved that."
HYDE "I felt they know how to enjoy a standing live. The audience in Japan tend to push forward, but the people in here know to keep enough space."
Yama "I agree. They are very kind to other people who wants to move somewhere."
HYDE "That wouldn't be possible in Japan because it's too packed."
Yama "And I was surprised that the stage was very close!! Both of you could touch the audience with your hands."
K.A.Z "Yeah, about 10 centimeters."
Yama "Um.... it's too close. LOL If so, you are almost kissing them."
K.A.Z "Then 15 centimeters?"
Yama "A bit farther. LOL I think it was about 2 meters, but it's close enough and many people enjoyed that. Now, you are heading to London!! London is the final place of this tour. How are you feeling? What do you come up with when you think about London?"
HYDE "Hmmm.....what is it..... Any chane to bump into David Beckham?"
Yama "You can invite him to your concert. But imagine that he is in the front row..."
HYDE "I would look away." *laugh*
Yama "LOL Anything else you come up with? For example, UK rock or anything about musi...."
K.A.Z "Ah, the bus!! Double deck bus!"
Yama "Do you want to ride on that? Or do you want to appear on the stage on the double decker bus?"
K.A.Z *laugh*
Yama "You have been to London many times, HYDE. I'd like to go to Hyde Park with you."
HYDE "Ah, Hyde Park."
Yama "I heard you've been there alone, so how about going there with me this time?"
HYDE "But I think there would be many fans in the park this time to catch me."
Yama "I see..."
HYDE "Come to think of it, previous time I stayed in London was just for recording, but now I'm going to stay there for my concert. That's something I wanted to do."
Yama "So it's like your dream come true this time."
HYDE "Yes, kind of."
Yama "I believe many Londoner are waiting for you there. Please can you give a message for fans in Japan?"
HYDE "Thank you for your support. We can carry on a tour like this because you always support us from Japan. We wouldn't be able to go anywhere without your support. So even if we are away from Japan, we always feel you. I would be too embarrassed to face you if we do a bad performance, so we will show our coolest performance and return to Japan."
Yama "Thank you again for your having time today. Have a good trip to London!!"
HYDE & K.A.Z "See you!"
