hide’s Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

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 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.

EYES LOVE YOUhide21rank/position

hide – EYES LOVE YOU

Released simultaneously with his second single “50% & 50%” as hide’s debut single, the two covers are designed so that placing them side by side reveals a combined image.

Being his very first solo track, it’s likely a song that holds deep meaning for many hide fans.
