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).

UNEXPECTED
Hyde Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unexpected Promises woven...
Unexpected ...
Unexpected
Through space and time
the path unwinds
Leading me straight to you
Unexpected
Reaching across a moonlit square

We found each other's hands
Unexpected
Under the blessing of the stars
The life poured into us
To meet is so unexpected

Unexpected ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hyde's song UNEXPECTED are about two people who found each other unexpectedly, but they feel as though their meeting was destined to happen. The promises mentioned in the first line may refer to the vows that people often make to themselves or to others, promising to find love or happiness. The path unwinding through space and time indicates that the journey towards finding each other was long and unexpected, but it ultimately led the two people to each other.

The second part of the song describes how the two people found each other in a moonlit square, unexpectedly connecting their hands. The reference to the blessing of stars and the pouring of life into them suggests that their meeting was meant to be, as though the universe itself brought them together. The final repetition of the word "unexpected" emphasizes the surprising nature of their meeting, but also suggests that they are grateful for the unforeseen way in which their paths crossed.
