1) Japanese rock artist, first… Read Full Bio ↴Hide is the name of more than one artist:
1) Japanese rock artist, first known as a member of X Japan.
2) Chicago-based industrial noise duo featuring Heather Gabel and Seth Sher.
3) Drum & Bass artist, also known as Computer Genius.
1) hide松本秀人(born on December 13,1964 - died on May 2,1998) was the self-titled 【hide】solo project of X JAPAN's lead guitarist. He released his first album, HIDE YOUR FACE (on which he arranged and played most of the instruments), in 1994 to huge success. hide's music generally consisted of heavier, speed-oriented songs and pop efforts, incorporating elements of electronic rock and pop to form a unique blend of sound.
hide's real name was Matsumoto Hideto. hide (pronounced 'hee-deh' ) is simply a shortened form of his first name, Hideto.
When he reached his high school years, he formed the band Saver Tiger (also called as Yokosuka Saver Tiger, not to be confused with Japanese band Saber Tiger). The formation did not last long and they disbanded. In his senior years he completely abandoned music and decided to enter beauty school to become a hair stylist after graduation.
Before that career could take off, Yoshiki gave hide a call, looking to fill one of two guitar positions in his band, X. He mentioned that he had heard hide's amazing skills, and wanted him to join. hide had a while to think about it, and he eventually accepted.
The band was first known as 'X' before being re-named X JAPAN. After years of performing and 4 albums, X JAPAN took a break to focus on each of their solo careers. hide took this opportunity to express himself and became massively successful. What stood out most was his unique voice and guitar riffs, updated appearance, and lyrics that identified themes such as sex, drugs, and violence (notably Hi-Ho and Genkai Haretsu).
Well into his solo career, he collaborated with guitarist Ray McVeigh from The Professionals and bassist Paul Raven of Killing Joke to form the band, zilch, meaning "zero". This band was somewhat successful, releasing albums such as 3,2,1 zilch, and bastardEYES. During his collaboration, his lyrics became more dark and sadistic, the songs were more industrial rock than the alternative rock sound as seen in his solo career.
hide handpicked several members to perform with him during his first two tours: HIDE OUR PSYCHOMMUNITY and PSYENCE A GO GO. After the disbanding of X JAPAN, hide named his live band Spread Beaver, and together their band name was hide with spread beaver in which hide was vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter.
May 2, 1998, Hide was found dead, hanged with a towel tied to a doorknob in his Tokyo Apartment. While authorities deem the guitarist’s death a suicide, several of Hide’s friends and colleagues stated that they believed in an accident, this was supported by the fact that there was no suicide note.
Because of hide's abrupt death post production of their first album, hide with spread beaver and Zilch, had to be done by I.N.A (who was a member of both bands). The tracks appeared how they were intended (except HURRY GO ROUND, which was a combination of several songs) as hide recorded most of the tracks before his death.
His guitars were mostly from the Fernandes MG series.
In the latest song I.V. from X JAPAN, it is reported that unreleased guitar riffs by hide were used so that it would be a 'complete' X JAPAN production.
Also, HIDE (allcaps) is the moniker used by one Hideyuki Takahashi (高橋ひでゆき), one of 菅野よう子's many collaborators, on the songs cream and run rabbit junk.
A previously unfinished song by hide called "Co Gal" (子 ギャル Ko Gyaru?) has been completed by INA utilizing vocaloid technology to mimic the deceased musician's voice. The song was originally written and demoed for Ja, Zoo in 1998, took two years to finish and will be included on an album by Universal Music set to be released on December 10, 2014.
2) HIDE is a Chicago-based multimedia industrial noise project of artists Heather Gabel and Seth Sher, who began a recording career with the 'Resurrection' EP in 2015. Hide have recorded three full-length albums on Dais Records, Castration Anxiety (2018), Hell Is Here (2019) and Interior Terror (2021) alongside several EPs and singles.

一時の休息 迎える 辺りの灯を消して

The lyrics of hide's song "cream" are introspective and contemplative, touching upon themes of inner peace and the search for a sense of belonging in a world of constant change. The first verse sets the stage with a sense of weariness and exhaustion, describing the ongoing struggle of life as an eternal battle. Seeking a moment of respite, the singer extinguishes the lights around them for a moment of peace. The chorus then poses the questions "so what's you want" and "so what's you need," ultimately concluding that all they truly desire is a sense of calm and a kind heart.
The second verse takes a more optimistic turn, describing the stars breaking through the clouds to signal the end of the day, and the promise of a new tomorrow. However, the singer recognizes that life will never be easy, with various challenges and obstacles constantly rolling in different directions. The bridge then describes the feeling of being overwhelmed, as if being chased by a fire, but ultimately winding down and slowing the heart.
The final verse leaves things on a hopeful note, as the singer reflects on the warmth and comfort found in trusting relationships. All of the various pieces of one's life come together to form something bigger, and in this space, there is a sense of fullness and fulfillment. The song ends with a repeat of the chorus, emphasizing the simplicity of one's true needs.

I welcome A temporary respite
Extinguishing the lights around me

Declaring a day's end A haven AM
When tomorrow comes again, things will

always have
I drown in the repetitive days Goaded
fiercely
And taut as a string, slow that cold
heart down, here, for now

Here, warmth that I can trust abounds and
