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.

NEW DAYS DAWN
Hyde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It only has one face
Even if you die you've no clue
That man standing by your side
Perhaps he knows the truth
But it may not exist at all
Why pray to the light
When darkness conceives it
You're surrounded by deceit
It has so many sides
Yet you turn your back
on that fact
Rooted deep in history
A clever web of lies
No one gets away no one tries
Why pray to the light
When darkness conceives it
New days dawn
let's start the game
Worship the winner
So come on let's start the game
Your turn awaits you
Say, what's your choice
The die is cast
No going back now
What's your choice
The die is cast
Fake a "God bless you"
New days dawn
let's start the game
Worship the winner
So come on let's start the game
Your turn awaits you
The song "New Days Dawn" by Hyde is a commentary on the nature of truth and lies in our society. The lyrics suggest that there is often only one perspective on the truth and that it may not even exist at all. In this sense, truth becomes a matter of perception and possibly even deception. The song urges listeners to be mindful of the deceit that surrounds them, as it can take many forms and is rooted deeply in history. Rather than simply accepting the status quo, the lyrics encourage listeners to challenge the world around them and to make choices that reflect their own values and beliefs.
The song's chorus, "New days dawn, let's start the game. Worship the winner, so come on let's start the game. Your turn awaits you," reinforces this message of taking action and making choices. It suggests that life is a game with winners and losers, and that in order to succeed or make meaningful change, we must be willing to engage with the world around us.
Line by Line Meaning
Do you really know the truth?
Can you honestly claim to know the truth?
It only has one face
The truth is singular in nature
Even if you die you've no clue
Death does not give you insight into the truth
That man standing by your side
The person next to you may know the truth
Perhaps he knows the truth
He may possess knowledge of the truth
But it may not exist at all
However, the truth may not exist in reality
Why pray to the light
Why put faith in something that appears good
When darkness conceives it
When the very thing you believe in creates the opposite of what you expect
You're surrounded by deceit
Lies and deception are all around you
It has so many sides
There are numerous ways to deceive someone
Yet you turn your back
Despite this, you ignore the truth of the matter
on that fact
You refuse to acknowledge the reality of your situation
Rooted deep in history
This problem has existed for a long time
A clever web of lies
The lies are intricately constructed and difficult to unravel
No one gets away no one tries
No one escapes the grasp of these lies, and no one makes an effort to expose them
New days dawn
A new beginning is here
let's start the game
Let us begin a new approach to the situation
Worship the winner
Put your faith in something that is proven to be true
So come on let's start the game
Let's begin our journey towards the truth
Your turn awaits you
It is now time for you to take action
Say, what's your choice
What will you decide?
The die is cast
You cannot change the outcome
No going back now
You must commit to your decision
What's your choice
What will you decide?
Fake a "God bless you"
An insincere show of politeness
