Halloween Party (Poupelle Version)

A heart-thumping rhythm, as if a festival parade were starting right before your eyes, makes HYDE’s song irresistibly charming.

Originally, it was beloved as a track by a special band formed around HYDE in 2012.

This version has been newly arranged to match the world of the animated film “Poupelle of Chimney Town,” where it serves as the opening theme.

There’s even a story that the original author listened to this song while creating the tale; as you listen, you can almost picture the residents of the smoky town breaking into dance.

With the energetic voices of children added, the result is even livelier and more fun.

Its march-like rhythm naturally makes you want to move—stomping your feet or clapping along together.

It’s a delightfully eerie and cute track that perfectly captures the spirit of Halloween.

MAD QUALIAHyde9rank/position

HYDE – MAD QUALIA (Japanese Version)

HYDE, the artist who has gained popularity as the vocalist of L’Arc~en~Ciel and VAMPS.

With L’Arc~en~Ciel, he mainly pursues a melodious and sophisticated musical style, while with VAMPS he focuses on hard rock.

His solo work is even harder in style, and this track, “MAD QUALIA,” delivers sharp, tight hard rock.

It’s not an extremely heavy sound, but as it’s hard rock, the low end hits solidly—so definitely try listening with a subwoofer.

SOCIAL VIRUSHyde11rank/position

SOCIAL VIRUS

This commercial portrays HYDE listening to music with AVIOT’s WA-J1 and TE-J2, expanding into an imaginative world and highlighting the immersive, expansive quality of the sound.

The depiction of the body being enveloped by particles of sound is striking, centering on the sense of immersion in the world of music.

The track that powerfully conveys the realism of that imagery is HYDE’s “SOCIAL VIRUS.” Its fast-paced sound layered with a powerful vocal performance leaves a strong impression, evoking an image of pressing forward with strength.

TAKING THEM DOWN

HYDE, who serves as the frontman for L’Arc〜en〜Ciel, VAMPS, and THE LAST ROCKSTARS.

THE ABYSSHyde13rank/position

HYDE-THE ABYSS

HYDE, who has served as the frontman for L’Arc~en~Ciel and VAMPS and performs on the world stage.

Released on his birthday, January 29, 2026, this work is a grand ballad and the third installment in a trilogy that deepens the world of “silence.” The weighty yet delicate sound backed by an orchestra, together with vocals whose very breaths feel as if they rise from the depths of an abyss, cannot help but shake the listener to the core.

The crisp, beautiful atmosphere of the footage shot in Salzburg, Austria also colors the song, serving as a crucial key to the story that leads into the next album, “JEKYLL.” On a night when you wish to face questions without answers and quietly reflect on yourself, why not immerse yourself in it alone?

[PV] HYDE/evergreen

This was the first song released under the name “HYDE.” HYDE’s vocals match the quiet atmosphere perfectly and it’s really cool.

In the music video, he keeps singing while playing an acoustic guitar, which is also really cool.

As the song progresses, the addition of orchestra and piano makes it grow more grand and epic, elevating the ballad feel and highlighting the vocals even more.
