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.

It's Sad
Hyde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あらゆる生命の支配 天敵は同種族
争いに刻まれた歴史から
決して教訓は得られない 身体が飽き足りない
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
判決被告の罪は原罪より重い
恐れる事無かれ執行人が不在
その飽くなき破壊は常軌を逸っし
自虐を極めて尚 身体が飽き足りない
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
"A verdict has been reached
The court finds the defendant guilty"
Once more, the hunting season
We shoot at will why does god permit it?
Rewind the times so crazy
What right have we to kill? Full of conceit
The worst creatures in history
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
The lyrics to Hyde's song It's Sad is a commentary on the destructive tendencies of human beings. The first stanza portrays humans as the worst creatures with dominance over other life forms, yet incapable of learning from their violent past. The following stanza describes the viciousness of humanity's actions as going beyond what is considered normal, leading to self-destructive behavior. The chorus speaks about the sadness of the destruction that humans have caused, and how the ground will only find peace once humans have disappeared.
The song's lyrics express the futility of human existence and how it will ultimately lead to destruction. Despite seeing the destruction caused by humans, humanity continues to give itself permission to continue their actions, and this is demonstrated in the chorus where the question is posed "What right have we to kill? Full of conceit." By asking this question, Hyde highlights the contradictions within human society where people claim to be rational beings capable of great things, yet their behavior suggests otherwise.
The final stanza suggests that humans' sins will ultimately catch up with them, as the hunting season begins once again. Asking why God permits humans to continue, Hyde leaves the listener with the impression that the fate of humanity lies in the balance.

I am called a human, the worst of the worst
あらゆる生命の支配 天敵は同種族
We dominate over all life, and our enemy is ourselves
争いに刻まれた歴史から 決して教訓は得られない 身体が飽き足りない
Through history marked with conflict, no lessons are learned, and we are left unsatisfied
判決被告の罪は原罪より重い 恐れる事無かれ執行人が不在 その飽くなき破壊は常軌を逸っし 自虐を極めて尚 身体が飽き足りない
The defendant's verdict condemns their sins worse than original sin. There's no fear of punishment and destruction knows no bounds. Even with self-harm, satisfaction is never reached.
Once more, the hunting season We shoot at will why does god permit it?
Another hunting season begins, we kill without restraint. Why does God allow it?
The ground will find some peace when we're gone it's sad
Only when we're gone will the earth find peace, it's a sorrowful thought

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