IllusionMY FIRST STORY × HYDE1rank/position
Two leading artists driving Japan’s rock scene have teamed up.
This collaboration between MY FIRST STORY and HYDE is a rock tune where thunderous sound collides with heartrending melodies.
The lyrics, depicting a fierce will to accept one’s fate and fight while struggling in the space between dreams and reality, are sure to set listeners’ hearts ablaze.
Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc, it was released as a single in June 2024.
6or9Hyde2rank/position
HYDE, known as the vocalist for L’Arc~en~Ciel and VAMPS and also highly active as a solo singer-songwriter.
The digital single “6or9,” released on September 6, 2023, delivers a powerful impact with its thrilling ensemble and high-velocity melody.
The contrast between his distinctive edge voice and gritty growls draws listeners into the song’s world.
With its aggressive sound and call-and-response–oriented structure that ramps up the excitement, it’s a powerful, high-energy banger.
Eternity -Tokoshie-HYDE × MY FIRST STORY3rank/position
A collaboration track by HYDE from L’Arc~en~Ciel and the rock band MY FIRST STORY.
Released in June 2024, it was featured as the ending theme for the TV anime Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc, and is notable for its grand yet heartrending melody.
The lyrics, which sing of a fate bound to battles that seem to last forever and the inner conflicts borne by the characters, are deeply connected to the story’s profound worldview.
The emotional harmonies woven by HYDE and Hiro’s twin vocals are moving, making this a rock tune that lets you savor the lingering resonance of the narrative.
WHO’S GONNA SAVE USHyde4rank/position
While HYDE delivers catchy songs as part of L’Arc~en~Ciel, his solo work ventures into considerably hard rock.
A solo track by HYDE that I highly recommend is “WHO’S GONNA SAVE US.” It’s hard rock built on an electronic sound, and it’s consistently demanding from start to finish.
Among its challenges, the toughest element is undoubtedly the long tones.
Sustaining long notes for several seconds right at the edge of the chest voice requires substantial lung capacity and precise vocal cord control.
HALLOWEEN PARTY – Poupelle Ver. –Hyde5rank/position
“HALLOWEEN PARTY” by the rock band HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA is a classic Halloween song, isn’t it? And the version self-covered by vocalist HYDE is this track, “HALLOWEEN PARTY – Poupelle Ver.” It was used as the theme song for the film “Poupelle of Chimney Town.” HYDE’s vocal technique—changing his timbre to match the mood of the song—is astonishing.
It’s packed with ideas for enjoying Halloween.
If you haven’t listened to it or seen it yet, definitely check it out!
BELIEVING IN MYSELFHyde6rank/position
HYDE from L’Arc-en-Ciel released the track “BELIEVING IN MYSELF” in 2020.
The dynamic shift from the powerful, high-octane rock ensemble in the intro to his beautiful, sultry vocals is incredible.
And the chorus delivers the ultimate payoff by blending those two elements together.
The rhythm guitar’s bridge-muted tone feels like a perfect 10—an ideal form—super rhythmic with a thick, booming low end.
It’s a breathtaking piece of sound creation that makes HYDE’s voice shine even more.
HELLOHyde7rank/position
Created with the concept of “movement,” it was made with the desire to pour out that live, burning energy.
It was also used as the theme song for Dwango’s “40 Mero Mix” commercial, in which the artist appeared.
A hard-rock yet melodic track, it’s a fiery number that strongly conveys its concept.
