Since HYDE keeps his personal information scarce, much about him is either unknown or unofficial, including his real name, purported to be Hideto Takarai. He confirmed his birthdate (January 29, 1969) in an interview for the 2002 March issue of Rockin On Japan.
HYDE's debut as a solo artist was in October 2001, when he released his first solo single, Evergreen. After two more singles, Angel's Tale and Shallow Sleep, HYDE released his first solo album, ballad-filled ROENTGEN, in March 2002. An overseas edition featuring English lyrics was released in July. His next two singles, HELLO and HORIZON, both including a b-side track not found on any album, were released prior to his second album, rockish 666, all in late 2003.
While reuniting with L'Arc~en~Ciel after a 3 year hiatus, HYDE continued his solo career. He composed the music for the song Glamorous Sky, sung by 中島美嘉 (Mika Nakashima) and to be used in the movie NANA. HYDE's next single Countdown was released in October 2005, it included Japanese & English versions of the title song. Another single, Season's Call, was used as the second opening theme to the anime show Blood+, starting in January 2006. The single was released in February. Third album FAITH was released in April, and it can be describes as hard rock with religious touch. The album was accompanied by a five-month tour with many locations in Japan, and four concerts in California, USA. Following the completion of the tour, a DVD of the concerts was released in November.
In addition to his musical career, HYDE has also starred in movies Moon Child and 下弦の月 (Kagen no Tsuki, also known as Last Quarter).
In early 2008, HYDE formed a new unit, VAMPS, with his fellow guitarist K.A.Z – and released a photobook ominously named HYDE IS DEAD.

Hyde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The deepest trust, I won't leave you
They call me crazy, but it won't matter
And death won't change me, not ever
Jesus Christ, I believe you
The deepest trust, I won't leave you
But my child is fading, an innocent
My voice is reaching the sky
I'd do anything to save this life
Take me instead
Ah, God give me death
Jesus Christ, I believe you
They call me crazy, but it won't matter
And death won't change me, not ever
My voice is reaching the sky
I'd do anything to save this life
Take me instead
Ah, God give me death
Ah, God give me death
The song "Jesus Christ" by Hyde expresses unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, a hope that even death cannot change this faith. The first verse establishes this belief, as the singer proclaims that he believes deeply in Jesus and will not abandon him, even if others think he is crazy. In the second verse, however, the singer's belief is challenged by a personal tragedy. His child is fading away, and he beseeches Jesus for help. Despite his cries, however, he hears no answer. The chorus is a repetition of the opening verse, which reinforces the faith that nothing can shake, not even death.
The climax of the song comes in the bridge, where the singer offers himself up in exchange for his child's life. His voice reaches to the sky, pleading for God to take him instead. It's a desperate and heartbreaking plea, born out of a love so strong that it's willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. The song ends with the singer repeating the appeal for death, as if he cannot bear to live without his child.
Overall, "Jesus Christ" is a poignant ode to faith and the lengths to which it can drive us. The singer's declaration of belief in the face of doubt and his willingness to offer his life for another's demonstrates the power of faith to sustain and embolden us in the darkest of times.
