This signature song by hide is likely a nostalgic tune for men in their 40s.

It’s a track where pop sensibilities and a sense of musical fusion shine, interweaving a striking, catchy riff with electronic sounds.

Released in May 1998, it became hide’s ninth solo single.

The woman’s line in the interlude is actually hide himself speaking in a feminine tone, processed to sound that way.

It has the power to transform the atmosphere when you want to hype things up with friends at karaoke, singing it while reminiscing about the past.

If someone confident in their vocal skills takes it on, it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going!

BACTERIAhide9rank/position

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.

BEAUTY & STUPIDhide10rank/position

Even though it has a dark vibe, the song feels bright—that’s very characteristic of hide.

The ideas aren’t confined to any mold, with things like an acoustic guitar coming in partway through.

It incorporates so many elements of rock that I’d love rock kids to try covering it at least once.

From the very start the song is bursting with emotion, and the intensity never lets up until the end! The sudden shift in the arrangement in the latter half is also really cool.

The repeatedly sung lyric “You took the best parts of my life” is incredibly catchy.

It’s included on the 2nd album, PSYENCE.

DICEhide12rank/position

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.
