SOCIAL VIRUSHyde12rank/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.

TAKING THEM DOWN, written as a tie-in song for P Shin Hokuto Musou Chapter 4, amps up the energy with an aggressive ensemble that blends guitar and synth sounds.

Its lyrics, themed around striking back against a suppressive environment, resonate strongly with the state of modern society and are likely to garner empathy from many listeners.

It’s a cool rock tune whose edgy vocals and loud arrangement deliver a powerful impact.

THE ABYSSHyde14rank/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?

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.

HYDE feat. YOSHIKI – ZIPANG（Japanese Version）

It’s a beautiful song created through a collaboration between HYDE, the vocalist of L’Arc〜en〜Ciel, and YOSHIKI of X JAPAN.

To sing it with a sultry tone, you need a vocal range that allows you to deliver it comfortably.

Angel’s taleHyde17rank/position

Hyde ~ Roentgen – Angels Tale [HQ]

The second single released under L’Arc~en~Ciel vocalist HYDE’s solo name.

It’s characterized by a sweet-voiced ballad, and the theme seems to be a quietly moving Christmas song.

The first press limited edition came in a coffin-shaped special case, and I remember having trouble figuring out where to store it at the time.

GLAMOROUS SKYHyde18rank/position

Hyde- Glamorous Sky Lyrics

A rock tune released by Mika Nakashima in 2005 that became a massive hit as the theme song for the film NANA.

HYDE, who wrote the song, self-covered it on his 2009 best-of album HYDE.

Rendered with English lyrics, it preserves the original’s worldview while giving it a more rock ’n’ roll vibe.

If you prefer Western music, HYDE’s version might feel just right.

It overflows with HYDE’s signature style and makes you want to bounce along—so cool!
