Aww, thanks.

@ Kikyos_Souls

No, I couldn't find much pink food either. I took a picture of some of it. I even bought a rose wine. I think I ended up with Battenburg (yellow and pink seemed appropriate colours), pink wafers, raspberry yoghurt, jelly, smoked salmon and a couple of pink fruit juices. Suppose I had more time to plan stuff. I would have made proper food and added pink food colouring. I'm thinking of a cake next year.

Here's the website I read the news articles on. Its the last evil one. None of them seems to have many of their facts right. Even the Japanese ones get things wrong, like saying that Yoshiki is the lead singer.

I read all of the articles. They were.. bad.
I couldn't stop the tears when I saw what you wrote on the rocks at the beach.
 
I've read the articles and some of them are so stupid, you would think they could have done better research.

Ah well, too bad that Hide isn't here anymore now Jrock artists are coming more to Europe, I would have loved to see him live, his lives seemed to be very energetic and happy.
Do you think there will be a concert next year like they did before with projections of him?

@CharismaticDeath
I love the rock thing, it's a beautiful thought I have no words to discribe it.
 
CharismaticDeath: Thank you so much for sharing your rocks! They made me feel so sad and happy! I wanted to ask what you had wrote but thought better seeing since it was between hide and you. So thank you, Thank you!
I read all the articles too and some made me furious. That Australian one disgusted me beyond belief. They were so insensitive, stupid, sarcastic and honestly it was like them making a joke towards a very great amazing man. It was 7 days after the tragedy and they were such *****s, *****s who didn't have a clue about what they were writing and they seemed to have all the facts wrong, actually what facts they have they mock.
I mean most of the article was just plain disrespectful. I will personally hunt down the writer and punch them out! No one has the right to pay so little respect to anyone who is dead. They neglected every proper attitude towards being a real journalist instead they choose to veer down the road of being as obnoxious @$$hole ...Grrr....:box: (Sorry for the rant!!:sorry: )

One line that caught me was the one where hide says "I"m still X Japan. I haven't taken down the sign yet. I'll always be X Japan." when someone says he is a "former X-Japan member". That made me so sad and I was moved such a great deal. It just stood out for me.

It makes me sorta believe more then ever it wasn't a suicide. That he was truly in love with what he was doing, he wanted to get X back together, the band that helped form him into what he became, what he was and who he is today. hide is X Japan :haihai:
 
I just regret not knowing about him when he was still here. Ah well, its people like you guys who keep him alive! What are your favourite songs by him/X Japan?
 
Nina007 Sorry for making you cry. Thanks to you GuitarAddict and Kikyos_Souls for the comments.

I don't know about another show with projections but I can imagine them doing something to comemorate him next year. Although doubt it will come to europe.

I couldn't believe the newspaper reports. It's a good thing to rant about it Kikyos_Souls, there are some things that need to be said. It makes you feel better. I mean, seriously, if you're going to try and criticise anything at all, make sure you get your facts right or you wont be able to hold down a reasonable argument. Which they clearly failed to do on every single level. The bits that really annoyed me were the one that said his beauty was "skin deep" (yes because we remember him 9 years later just for his looks!) and that he contributed towards non of X's songs when I know for a fact he wrote in full a fair few. grrrr some people should not be allowed to write for the press.

RevengeBabyYeah I know what you mean. I was too young to have the access to his music when he was still alive. We would have had no J-rock coverage in the UK at all then and the internet wasn't arround really.
Asking my favorite X song always pronpts a really long list! Main ones being Art of Life, Blue Blood, Endless Rain, Kurenai and X. I also I like Forever Love but can't actually listen to it without bursting into tears so that one tends not to be played. As for hide's solo stuff, Beauty and Stupid is one of my all time favorites. Aswell as Pink Spider.

Sorry if this comment has got a bit confused somewhere along the lines... I was trying to reply to everyone at once and may have tied myself in knots! :S
 
No it's not confused at all, don't worry about it. Aye I loved the rock thing too really beautiful. Agree with what you said about 'Forever Love'- Just makes me really upset when i listen to it, but then again you realise how much he meant to everyone
I like this thread, you guys are really positive about what he stood for, can see myself still here in the future!Wooooo!
 
It was clear, even before the funeral, that Forever Love was a song that meant a lot to them. If you watch the video of that song during Last Live, it seems to be the song that brings it home that its their last gig. But then again, they wouldnt have chosen to play it at the funeral if it didn't mean a lot to them all.
I'm interested to hear Yoshiki and Toshi's new recording of Without You. I know they've been in the studio but have no idea when it'll be released.
 
My favourite hide-song is ELECTRIC CUCUMBER! pervs like me gotta love that song. the text is.. dirty. xDD :13:
 
My fave X Japan songs would be Tears (first song I heard from them so it holds a special place in my heart!), Kurenai, Crucify My Love, Forever Love and Endless Rain. I really like Toshi's voice for some reason, and they are just so amazing.
All their songs are pretty catchy and get stuck in your head.Which isn't a bad thing.
I remember looking up the English lyrics for their songs and for Sadistic Desire someone had put "I've gotta c&@p your face on and on
till down on your knees" instead of "I've gotta slap your face on and on till down on your knees". For some reason that just made me laugh so hard!!(Sorry kinda pointless...)
As for Without you, the music and the title just makes me cry. My friend (another hide fan! That's how I met her. She's from Germany too! hide love everywhere!) sent the lyrics to me.

Now as for hides stuff...
Rocket Dive (My favorite song and Pv!!!), Lemoned I screamed, Electric Cucumber,Dice, Goodbye (*sniff* luvs you hide!) and Pink Spider (I love this PV as well, don't ask why, although when he's like pulling his finger across his neck kinda creeps me out...)

I just love his singing and his voice is quiet nice as well. I watch interviews with him and he just has this very pleasant, sweet voice.That's the best I can describe his voice, also humble and kind.^__^ I love the video when he meets the girl he saved and he says "Okay" to her. I just love how he says it for some reason...

Sorry if this was just one long blob....

Don't be sorry, it was a nice post to read.

I wish that there were more post like this in certain sections.

I only know Forever love from X japan, and have read the story of Hide (which made me get a tear in my eye). My wife told me that he had a good heart and that he did a lot of things for the people arround him and for charities.

Is the Hide museum still open? or is it closed?
 
It's closed I think. Which is sad as if I'm ever in Japan I'd love to see it.

You should check out some more X songs they're seriously awsome.
 
I recently found a song called always by X japan and got immediately hooked.
Rocket dive one of the many best songs by Hide because of the meaning, get of your *** and do something different, that's how I interpretate < :? (dunno how to spell it) the lyrics.
Has anyone seen Seth et Holth btw?
Hide looks so awesome in it and it is very creative.
 
Yes I loved Seth et Holth... some of the imagary mildly disturbing to say the least. Solicited some funny reactions from my friends.
I agree hide was awsome in it. The films was so conceptual and strange... benefits from multiple viewing in my opinions... and a nice summary of the plot from wikipedia helps!
 
Oh I have never seen it!! It sounds interesting and sad!
I must watch one of these days! Thanks!
As for the museum, it is closed. I mean it is so sad cause we will never get to see it and wander around it's rooms, I think there were three huge ones or something.
I did read an article that I found interesting, I have to find it again, that explained the "bad" and "good" part of closing it down (for lack of better words). The "bad" part mainly was that other people would not be able to enjoy it and the "good" was mainly it was money problems and I remember the article describing it sorta "creepy" (probably not right word again...7am here just woke up...), but you would go into rooms and stare at these articles that hide owned-pencils he wrote with as a kid, his guitars, maybe a sheet of paper he wrote on, stuff like that.
Some no doubt very personal to him and it seems kinda "snoopy " to be standing there reading maybe what he didn't want read or just staring at his clothes or something. Mind you there was like a glass infront so you couldn't like touch anything, maybe the statues and his car...Just stare.
I mean the poor guy was probably like turning bright red in heaven when they started building the museum, other angels poking him, teasing him, "Look hide there is a whole building dedicated to you!!"
hide-"Wah! I don't even understand, I wasn't that important!!!"
I love hides modesty! That is why I write his name in lower case: once hide requested that people did not capitalize his name when written in English, he said he "wasn't a big deal."
But after his death and after he saw all those fans maybe he changed his mind...
I want a hide plushie!! Does anyone have one?? I know you can get them on ebay...Or a poster...I wish we had more stores around here that sold stuff like that. Maybe I have to look more. Maybe we do...
Dutch Baka: Thank you and I am happy you thought it was nice to read! hide had a very beautiful heart and he was very kind.
He did a bone marrow transplant a few times and I heard that hurts a lot. I mean it would seeing them have to go into your bone...He also gave his blood (imagine being one of the people he gave to, that would be awesome in a way!) and X were big supporters in helping with Aids.
 
Kikyos Souls

I feel that way too it's a strange thought that people stare at your personal stuff, I also can't watch videos of his funeral I think it's such a personal thing for the family and friends.
 
I can't watch his funeral mainly because it makes me cry and I feel like I am lost somehow. I think hide wouldn't mind all his fans being there even if we were only there two, seven, even ten years later, watching it through glass.
I must admit it makes me nervous too. I just see all those fans crying... I mean obviously his family,friends gave permission for people to view his funeral, it is on His Invincible Deluge Evidence dvd, right?
I think in a way it just made his family and friends realize how much more he was, then what he appeared to be. He was very important to people and it is so funny cause many never met him or got the chance too and yet they came to remember him. It just shows how much influence and inspiration he gave to people.
hide met immortality that day in a way.

Also about the whole staring at personal items, I mean okay I admit I would have loved to go the museum and stare too.Then again who knows. I haven't read all of Kurt Cobain's journal, (just flipped through it, read a few paragraphs, put it back on shelf, walked away) just for the reason that it was very personal to him. I know how I feel when someone digs through my journal!
If I had a museuem dedicated to me I guess I would feel honored but embarrassed. It would be weird to have someone staring at the half eaten bagel I bought at that bagel store and couldn't finish...Weird example...
 
GuitarAddictOoo thanks for the pics....I loved that era look for hide.

Kikyos_Souls : I really want a plushie too... I keep droppin hints around present giving times... such as birthdays and christmas! So far no luck... I'd have to order one over the net, theres no where near me that sells stuff like that. Although you can get some Jrock CD's in our shops now.


I love the story about him givin bone marrow transplants. That's such an awsome thing for him to have done.
 
GuitarAddict *hugs you* I too love his style at this point in his career. That hair! It is so long and red!! Hair God indeed! It reminds me of Kami...<333

CharismaticDeath I saw plushies for sale on a site www.j-xyz.net. I am sorta wary of purchasing stuff online sometimes but I think they are pretty safe. They have plushies, postcards, badges, cds and stickers of hide. I have to pay off my Visa first and then I will buy a plushie off them or something. I find it cute how Kaoru of Diru takes his plushie with him to every show.
 
I finally got the package home today with a DVD of hiding cause he's too beautiful I just had to make screenshots... sit down before you watch these. The floor can be tough to land on with your face.

< of this part I could only take this cause there's nudity in it



I reached the limit for now, but I'll post some more later if anyone wants.

@CharismaticDeath

Tnx a lot for that link. They have good stuff.
 
*Glomps GuitarAddict*
Love this one he looks insane! <333 I love you hide! I wanna put it on my wall now, but I fear I would never get to sleep!
