Happy Birthday hide. Forever the Pink Spider.


R.I.P.

(Just cause I can.)

Remember Yesterday, Dream Tomorrow, Live Today.

I've already said this in the X-Japan thread but...

Happy Birthday hide!!

Missing you.

hide is one of my idols and to me the fans that believe his death a suicide are hardly fans at all.

His best friend Yoshiki believes it (or did at least) to be an accident and he alone knew him best. hide did have a troubled childhood but he was over-all a cheerful person. True, his fans loved him more than he loved himself but his death WAS an accident. He was simply too drunk and fell asleep while he was trying to ease his neck pain (which he often got) and got hung. The band members of X-Japan were also known to wrap towels around their necks like that. He missed being in X and started drinking even more heavily after they split up and until today I don't think Yoshiki even forgives himself. He feels it was partly his fault Hide died, because of X's breaking up mostly I guess.

When you think about it, if he really killed himself, why did he do so in that way? He couldn't quickly slit his wrists, jumped out the building, et cetera.

I guess maybe I just don't want to believe that his death was suicide but even if it was, he was INTOXICATED and people don't think clearly in that state. He was left in the room alone because he was out cold so even if he regained consciousness, he obviously wasn't in his right head yet anyway so either way, it wasn't his fault and his death is definitely something to be mourned. A friend of mine went to Japan December of last year (2007) and she said music stores, et cetera, still celebrate his birthday and mourn his death day.

Happy B-day,Hideto.

I can't believe that this year it is ten years since Hide died. :[

I watched an interview of Hide on youtube yesterday, taken 1 month before he died n_n It made me really sad >.<

Wow. Any hide stuff sets me off. I have a video on my myspace that makes me cry everytime I watch it. It's an awesome tribute video.

That interview was the first Hide-related video that I've watched..since I'm not really interested in X Japan and stuff I havent really researched Hide very much. ;/

Have you seen that picture on Yoshiki's myspace? Where he's sitting with his Hide plushie and it says "my best friend.." seriously, I wanted to cry when I saw that >.<

how in the hell did i miss his berday?? *kicks self*


aww, now i want to cry..
