1) Japanese rock artist, first… Read Full Bio ↴Hide is the name of more than one artist:
1) Japanese rock artist, first known as a member of X Japan.
2) Chicago-based industrial noise duo featuring Heather Gabel and Seth Sher.
3) Drum & Bass artist, also known as Computer Genius.
1) hide松本秀人(born on December 13,1964 - died on May 2,1998) was the self-titled 【hide】solo project of X JAPAN's lead guitarist. He released his first album, HIDE YOUR FACE (on which he arranged and played most of the instruments), in 1994 to huge success. hide's music generally consisted of heavier, speed-oriented songs and pop efforts, incorporating elements of electronic rock and pop to form a unique blend of sound.
hide's real name was Matsumoto Hideto. hide (pronounced 'hee-deh' ) is simply a shortened form of his first name, Hideto.
When he reached his high school years, he formed the band Saver Tiger (also called as Yokosuka Saver Tiger, not to be confused with Japanese band Saber Tiger). The formation did not last long and they disbanded. In his senior years he completely abandoned music and decided to enter beauty school to become a hair stylist after graduation.
Before that career could take off, Yoshiki gave hide a call, looking to fill one of two guitar positions in his band, X. He mentioned that he had heard hide's amazing skills, and wanted him to join. hide had a while to think about it, and he eventually accepted.
The band was first known as 'X' before being re-named X JAPAN. After years of performing and 4 albums, X JAPAN took a break to focus on each of their solo careers. hide took this opportunity to express himself and became massively successful. What stood out most was his unique voice and guitar riffs, updated appearance, and lyrics that identified themes such as sex, drugs, and violence (notably Hi-Ho and Genkai Haretsu).
Well into his solo career, he collaborated with guitarist Ray McVeigh from The Professionals and bassist Paul Raven of Killing Joke to form the band, zilch, meaning "zero". This band was somewhat successful, releasing albums such as 3,2,1 zilch, and bastardEYES. During his collaboration, his lyrics became more dark and sadistic, the songs were more industrial rock than the alternative rock sound as seen in his solo career.
hide handpicked several members to perform with him during his first two tours: HIDE OUR PSYCHOMMUNITY and PSYENCE A GO GO. After the disbanding of X JAPAN, hide named his live band Spread Beaver, and together their band name was hide with spread beaver in which hide was vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter.
May 2, 1998, Hide was found dead, hanged with a towel tied to a doorknob in his Tokyo Apartment. While authorities deem the guitarist’s death a suicide, several of Hide’s friends and colleagues stated that they believed in an accident, this was supported by the fact that there was no suicide note.
Because of hide's abrupt death post production of their first album, hide with spread beaver and Zilch, had to be done by I.N.A (who was a member of both bands). The tracks appeared how they were intended (except HURRY GO ROUND, which was a combination of several songs) as hide recorded most of the tracks before his death.
His guitars were mostly from the Fernandes MG series.
In the latest song I.V. from X JAPAN, it is reported that unreleased guitar riffs by hide were used so that it would be a 'complete' X JAPAN production.
Also, HIDE (allcaps) is the moniker used by one Hideyuki Takahashi (高橋ひでゆき), one of 菅野よう子's many collaborators, on the songs cream and run rabbit junk.
A previously unfinished song by hide called "Co Gal" (子 ギャル Ko Gyaru?) has been completed by INA utilizing vocaloid technology to mimic the deceased musician's voice. The song was originally written and demoed for Ja, Zoo in 1998, took two years to finish and will be included on an album by Universal Music set to be released on December 10, 2014.
2) HIDE is a Chicago-based multimedia industrial noise project of artists Heather Gabel and Seth Sher, who began a recording career with the 'Resurrection' EP in 2015. Hide have recorded three full-length albums on Dais Records, Castration Anxiety (2018), Hell Is Here (2019) and Interior Terror (2021) alongside several EPs and singles.

黄金の水の シャワータイム
紳士淑女も 男も女も
痴態をさらして呑むぜ
憎い御日様消えた
酒は山ほど有るぜ
ホルマリン浸け
お前も俺も
説教癖でも泣き上戸でも
最後は同じだ
Shake your head, shake my head
二日酔いが怖くて
酒が呑めるか
それなら三日三晩
呑み続けりゃ怖くねえ
Gun! gun! gun!
頭の中溶けてても
光り輝く空ボトル
Dan! dan! dan! dan!
記憶が遠ざかる
あとは野となれ山となれ
指が震えて
舌も回らないけど
純度180%の
人間火炎瓶
町から町へ
店から店へと
とどまるところを知らぬ
アルコール・ジプシー
日本酒 バーボン
ビールにアブサン
焼酎 どぶろく テキーラ
なんでも来い
酒持ってこい
いまさら病院怖くて
酒が呑めるか
それなら産婦人科で
宴会しようか
Dan! dan! dan!
I'm gettin' hungin' over & over
But I don't care, just wanna drink
Give me alcohol
Gan! gan! gan!
Go crazy out of my mind
Drink or die
Dan! dan! dan!
I'm gettin' hungin' over & over
But I don't care, just wanna drink
Give me alcohol
Gan! gan! gan!
Go crazy out of my mind
D.O.D. Nought to choose
D.O.D. Call me stupid
D.O.D. Fuckin' it's my way
Dan! dan! dan!
I'm gettin' hungin' over & over
But I don't care, just wanna drink
Give me alcohol
Gan! gan! gan!
Go crazy out of my mind
D.O.D. Nought to choose
D.O.D. Call me stupid
D.O.D. Fuckin' It's my way way way...
The lyrics of Hide's song "D.O.D." depict a reckless and indulgent lifestyle fueled by alcohol. The opening lines set the scene of a typical day, with a shower time filled with golden water, where both gentlemen and ladies, men and women, reveal their absurd behavior and drink. It suggests a sense of escapism from the harsh realities of the world. The despised sun disappears, and there is an abundance of alcohol, as if they are immersed in a science experiment-like laboratory state.
The chorus emphasizes that whether someone has a preaching habit or is a crybaby, in the end, they are all the same. The repetition of shaking their heads demonstrates the fear of hangovers and questions if they can continue drinking. The lyrics suggest that if they continue to drink for three days and nights, the fear of hangovers would disappear.
The following verses describe the feeling of being intoxicated to the point where the head dissolves, but the empty bottles shine brightly, and the memories fade away. The singer's fingers tremble, their tongue doesn't move, but they are a 180% pure human Molotov cocktail. It portrays a nomadic lifestyle, constantly moving from town to town, from shop to shop, as an alcohol gypsy.
The lyrics highlight various alcoholic beverages such as Japanese sake, bourbon, absinthe, shochu, and tequila. The singer's desire for alcohol surpasses their fear of going to the hospital, suggesting even celebrating in a maternity ward.
Overall, the song delves into the theme of excessive alcohol consumption as a form of escapism, depicting a wild and carefree lifestyle where one's desires and indulgences reign supreme.
