hide plays lead guitar. Spectacle is his part in performances and guitar playing,
which he does with outstanding technique, fervor and love (he really loves his guitar).
On the stage he wears acid color clothes and fuchsia hair tint (now a little shorter),
and he lets music lead him to musical stasis.
His great guitar style is other of X Japan's force basis, and Yoshiki grants him
endless guitar solos in return, with which hide can attract completely the audience.
He also composes some songs, like Scars, in which he shows his impulsive, fast style.
After the band disbanded, hide continued his solo carreer, creating later the band
Spread Weaver, with whom he would record his last singles before he hung himself at his home
because of being too drunk.
