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 ↴
遠い部屋で君に会ったよ
会話のひとつも思い出せないけど
そっと手をのばし ふれてく瞬間
また君は何処かへ消えた
浅い眠り淡く揺られ
あの日のように無邪気な君が
そばにいる夢を見た
I just saw you
感覚だけ木霊してる
不思議なくらいに気配を感じて
窓の向こう風に吹かれ
切り取られた見慣れた街へ
駆け出して行く想いは何処かで君に
会えるような予感がして
I see you until I wake
From shallow sleep
そっと目を開けて 辺りを眺めても
風景画は there is no color
A colorless landscape
浅い眠り淡く揺られ
あの日のように無邪気な君が
両手にあふれる安息を優しく奏で
そばにいる夢を見た 君の夢を見た
The lyrics of Hyde's song "Shallow Sleep" evoke a dream-like state in which the singer is haunted by the memory of a past love. The first verse describes how the singer catches a glimpse of their former partner in a distant room, but they cannot remember anything from their conversation. Despite this, they still yearn for the touch of the person they lost and experience a sense of longing as they fade away once again. The second verse explores the feelings of the singer as they drift off into a shallow sleep, tasting the same innocent nostalgia from their past. The singer feels a sense of calm and peace with the loved one next to them while they dream.
In the chorus, the singer yearns for a reunion with their lost love and sees them in their dreams as they awake from their shallow sleep. However, reality is cold and colorless, contrasting sharply with the vivid dreamworld that they have been inhabiting.
Overall, "Shallow Sleep" is a gorgeous and melancholy song that explores themes of lost love, reminiscence, and longing in a deeply poetic and emotionally effective manner.

当時、ラルクの活動が止まるのでは？と、ソロ活動にとてもショックを受けていたけど、この世界観だったからこそ認めざるを得なかったのを覚えている。結局、一度も離れることなく24年間ファンを続けさせていただいております。本当に出会えて良かった方。現在進行形で、私の人生を彩って下さっています。
