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.

08 PERFECT MOMENT
Hyde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though no one's here to see - it's endless
Sad, but everybody knows
A trip to heaven's not really on the cards, no
Yet my "moment" has come
A crying shame, for now my life is over
I'm happy to die in this moment
Ah, the sun is born of night, it sets again
Though no one's here to see, it's endless
So perfect, this moment so perfect, this moment
I'm happy to die in this moment
I've been to heaven heaven on earth
Ah, the sun is born of night
Ah, the sun is born of night it's endless
Hyde's song "Perfect Moment" explores the themes of mortality and the fleeting nature of time. The lyrics beautifully captures the bittersweet feeling of living in the present moment and the realization that life is brief, yet profoundly beautiful. The opening lines, "Ah, the sun is born of night, it sets again, though no one's here to see - it's endless," evoke a sense of timeless beauty, as the sun continues to rise and set, even if nobody is there to witness it. The idea that life continues regardless of human presence emphasizes the transience of time and the importance of treasuring each moment we have on this earth.
The chorus, "So perfect, this moment so perfect, this moment, I'm happy to die in this moment," is both melancholy and uplifting. The listener is reminded that life is fleeting, but at the same time, the moment is perfect and worth cherishing. The song reminds us that we should not take life for granted and to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us, even in the most ordinary moments.
Overall, "Perfect Moment" is a poignant and introspective song that invites the listener to reflect on the beauty of life and the inevitability of mortality.

How many cuts should I repeat?
How many fates should I accept?
Does it have an end?
