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 ↴
All we really need is euphoria
Yeah, move your body to the beat
殻を脱いで自然体になる
So shake these worries from your head
関係など無い君の色 信仰だって好きで良い
See the bigger picture
It's not so hard, there has to be a better way?
No walls embrace a world as one
Where music will guide us, guitars instead of guns
We'll play in harmony, it should be so easy
Come and dance with me
Music's breaking down all the barriers
We don't have to feel earthbound
感覚をそう 研ぎ澄まして
As we surf the waves of sound
We can come together
It's not so hard to open up our hearts to love
I woke up one morning, I'd had a dream so real
We noticed our part in the shame of history
Now we're walking, we're running, our mission is the same
We reach our destination and realize the dream!
No walls embrace a world as one
No walls embrace a world as one
Where music will guide us, guitars instead of guns
We'll play in harmony, it should be so easy
Come and dance with me
Come and dance with me

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