In these 3.5 years of listening to J-rock I've never really listened Hides music even I know that it's the first thing u should do when u start listening to J-rock.
Hide has inspired many ppl who are J-rockers today. There are a lost of ppl who listen to his music and praises him as on of the best among J-rockers ever. They've also said that his music was ahead of the times.
His death was unexpected and somehow that he died while being one of the best around makes everything he has done even greater.
While I listen to this song I'm pretty much unable to sing along, I quess thats my way of respecting him. I hope that others also have ways of respecting him and his work and so his memory would never leave this world as long as we live.
