BACTERIAhide11rank/position

hide – [PV] Bacteria

A track with a full-on heavy rock vibe from the album PSYENCE, released in September 1996.

The guitar riffs, the vocals, the singing—hide himself—is aggressive, and the music video is just insanely cool.

It’s one of my personal favorites.

I’m sure this kind of hide’s coolness will resonate with the younger generation today—highly recommended.

When it comes to hide’s songs, many people think of ROCKET DIVE or Pink Spider, but depending on the generation, there are surely many who consider this the definitive signature track.

With its striking standout sections and an overwhelming sense of world-building, it’s one of hide’s finest masterpieces—so iconic that students back then rushed to cover it.

DOUBThide13rank/position

This is the second track on hide’s second solo single, “50% & 50%,” released on August 5, 1993.

It’s truly one of his signature songs, and its aggressive yet artistic lyrics feel especially meaningful because it was hide himself singing them in that era.

FLAMEhide14rank/position

It’s a track included on hide’s second album, PSYENCE.

It’s said that after composing MISERY, which is also on the same album, he reconstructed it to create FLAME.

The result is a gentle, grand-sounding ballad.

GOOD BYEhide15rank/position

hide – GOOD BYE

Released in December of the same year as a re-cut single—and his seventh single—from the album PSYENCE, which came out in September 1996, “Hi-Ho / GOOD BYE” was issued with the double A-side title.

As the title “GOOD BYE” suggests, it’s a ballad with lyrics about parting—somehow sad, yet somehow gentle—that leave a strong impression.

It feels as though hide might be singing about himself.

MISERYhide16rank/position

hide – MISERY

A song born from hide’s connection with a young fan battling a rare disease.

Among hide’s tracks, it has a very bright, poppy vibe, and the contrast with the intense guitar running throughout is really interesting.

Apparently, it was originally written to be performed by X JAPAN.

hide - Limit Break Burst

A track whose razor-sharp opening guitar cutting and undulating bassline grab your heart and won’t let go.

Hide’s hallmark tricky vocal style is on full display, and despite the minor key, the energy surges as if you’re being driven onward.

Pink Spider (Remix)MIYAVI vs hide18rank/position

「Pink Spider (Remix) / MIYAVI vs hide」Music Video

This is a signature song from hide with Spread Beaver, the solo project of HIDE, guitarist of X JAPAN.

Even after his passing, it has continued to be covered by various artists—a masterpiece that shines in rock history.

Now this song collaborates with MIYAVI’s guitar! It’s remixed into a vibe different from the original, making it irresistible for fans who can also enjoy MIYAVI’s guitar.

The result is incredibly cool.

BLUE SKY COMPLEXhide19rank/position

hide – Blue Sky Complex

Included on the 1994 album HIDE YOUR FACE.

Above all, what stands out is the funky brass sound that resonates throughout the entire track.

The lyrics are beautiful yet somewhat enigmatic, and when layered with the contrastingly fresh sound and rhythm, they create the song’s unique atmosphere.

The more closely you listen, the more you’ll be amazed by the richness of the sound, from details like the female chorus in the rap section to the overall arrangement.

D.O.D.（DRINK OR DIE）hide20rank/position

hide Drink or Die

This song praises heavy drinkers.

The lyrics are intense, and in today’s climate people would probably criticize it right away.

But please forgive it because it’s so cool.

It’s a fast-paced track with rapid-fire lyrics, and it still sounds really great now.

I’ve covered it in the past, but it’s cool precisely because it’s by hide.
