FOR GOODNESS SAKE, Hideto Matsumoto is short-formed as "hide", not "Hide". Look at fansites out there. It is spelled with a small "h" on purpose. People who spell it with a big "H" should really check up more on X Japan man... hide was the "face" of X Japan..
Anyway, X Japan is my favourite Jap band. Fav songs include Kurenai, Silent Jealousy, Say Anything, Rusty Nail, Tears and X. Not to mention the 29min song Art of Life has only been performed live once. I have their Dahlia Tour video. Wonderful i tell you.
Fans out there should also get hide's songs. His solo works are pretty good with songs like Ever Free, Rocket Dive and Pink Spider.
Try listening to Glay too. Their 1st album was produced by Yoshiki's Extasy Records. They're pretty amazing. Once Visual Kei, they have now toned down..
X~!
