FAKE again...
1998/02/25/１１:３９
Yesterday, the secret page that was prepared in celebration of 100,000 count was invaded by a group of skilled invaders "FAKE". The pass word was broken and "Monster Cards" in the secret page was scattered over this site. On Board, some statement by FAKE has been found...though they were rather like scribbles of kids. According to their statement, it was an offense that mimics "high-jack" on a web site. I am busy for recording my new single and have to go now. So I will leave you all this matter. Good luck!

( note: On Feb. 24, the counter number of this web site reached up to 100,000. Hide and his staff prepared a special present for the lucky 100,000th person "Nao Ohashi". The present was a special page that Nao only can access with a secret password. The next day, a game was prepared in celebration of 100,000 count. This game is a kind of hide-and seek. Illustrations of members of "hide with Spread Beaver " (7 members) were "spread" all over the pages in this web site (but the illustrations are at somewhat "hidden" place.) This "FAKE again..." is an announcement of this game. I think this game is still effective now, so you can find the illustrations if you want. The entrance is located beyond the counter.)

Here in L.A., in California, smoking is as taboo as a devil's activity. And at last, a state low has been recently enforced---that is, in fact, a nightmare for a heavy smoker. Not to mention inside a studio, every building for public uses, bars, etc.....at any place under some kind of roofs, smoking is prohibited. We ( hide and his staff ) rent a small pre-production room, and there the situation is the same. INA ( INA is a working partner of hide, the co-producer of hide's albums, and a hide's friend ) and I have to go out to smoke. We are just as if bad boys gathering in front of a 24hrs shop. This place, not open to a clouded street, is unsafe and cold very late at night. Thus, I smoke less and less these days, so I am not quite myself....

On the other day, when INA was smoking like that, alone, about midnight, a limousine came near. The head light was directed to INA for a while, with the engine keep growling. It was as if the man inside the limousine has something to do with INA. INA felt uncanny and slowly went back to the studio entrance, carefully choosing the blind spot of the strange limo. Then the limo made sudden move toward INA and INA was so astonished that he ran into the studio. At that time, we thought that INA was mistaken for a drug seller or something like a gangster. However! Today, I was smoking in the evening, alone, then a car came to me ( note! I have pink-hair now ). A man inside the car ( who seemed to be an ordinary business man ) asked me, "How much...?"...! I thought, "This is it. The drug buyer." So I answered, "I have nothing for you." Then the man shook his head...and... what you suppose? He was pointing at me! Hey, mister! I understand you have many troubles at your office. I understand your hard life...but it's too much for me! Ya, my hair is pink, I know it, but...you thought I was an eccentric rent boy? Otherwise, you have some special preference for PINK? Are you sure that you are going to use your money for such a stupid purpose?...Of course I didn't say such things, but the man left out of sight. I guess our pre-production room, this decent working room might be look like a "Mysterious! Full of oriental fascination! Tempting rock'n' roll rent boys' house!" ( INA has also colored hair, green and red )...Is it really look like that? Am I so charming that I could almost break the normal life of an ordinary man???......Now recording my new single is underway....it again is raining today.

( note: In Japan, there is a newly made custom that girls confess their love to their ( sometimes one-sided ) lovers by presenting a chocolate on Feb. 14. Boys who received chocolates on that day are expected to show their love by presenting something to their girls on Mar. 14. These years, ladies tend to present chocolate to men who are not their lovers. In such cases, the chocolate does not represent her heartfelt love. Such "less meant" chocolate is called, "GIRI chocolate" )
Yes, again this time of the year has come around. I have to admit that I myself did released a compilation album for the sake of this particular season... but I want to say....Boys! Especially boys who are depressed in this season! It is a conspiracy of confectionery companies. Do not take it serious! A chocolate? I received none of it before high school age. BUT! I am living my life in such a cool way...( I am cool? Can I say it cool...? I am not sure...) Can't you see? That is, after all it has no meaning for your life......but....it would mean much for you....it meant much for me when I was at your age, actually. "Someone could understand me, hidden someone whom I don't know might be watching me secretly and would show up today..." This is a day that every boy can't help imagining such a thing. However, boys, don't wait for girl's chocolate. Don't reach out to get a chocolate. Choose an open way, dignified life. When you received a GIRI chocolate, put mold on it as a special additive and return it as it is on Mar. 14 to the insensitive girl! You will meet people who are really watching you, who really care you, and who are waiting for what you make....someday in the future. OK, let's go out to drink. We need rather alcohol than sweets all in all, don't we? You understand, teenagers?

Super Special Live Album/Jon Specer Blues Explosion This is what I wrote in the review in "What's in ES"( Japanese Magazine ) This album is the best I met so far in this year. I also like the studio-take version that was released in advance, but this live version is much much better! What matters for a rock'n' roll music is that a shout "Year!" is cool or not, isn't it? It reminded me such a simple fact which I could not remember for a considerable time. This is such a great album. Ladies & Gentle fucxin' men! When you listen to this album, listen to it in the largest volume!

A terrific, awful event is coming on February 24 at CLUB Q, Shimokitazawa ( "Shimokitazawa" is a town in Tokyo ), that is "a confrontation of DIE vs. CHIRORIN's DEBONAIR on stage". ( Note: DIE and CHIRORIN are members of hide's band, Spread Beaver ) These two guys have nicknames, "KINKAKU and GINKAKU" or "SANDA and GAIRA" in Spread Beaver. Their live performance....., no! no! It's gonna be an extraordinary dangerous fight!!......Shimokitazawa town is under a critical situation! DIE release his 1st album from a major label on April 1. I am contributing in a song as a guitarist. It's great, I tell you. On April fool's day.....that is just like him, Daijirou Nozawa......
( Kanako's note: KINKAKU and GINKAKU are famous Chinese monsters who are known to be very ferocious, but a little bit foolish. SANDA and GAIRA are also monsters in a movie or a TV story, I guess. Daijirou Nozawa is the full name of DIE. )

Marriage is nothing, La La La, La

( note: Marriage is nothing, La La La La.....: This phrase is a quotation from famous Japanese pop-song. )
Marriage? When I do, I'll tell you, of course.... Then I'd better sell the videotape of my wedding ceremony......just like Manson's one..... Well.....listen, I do not respond to such a foolish joke here after....Ha ha ha! It is raining, raining and raining every day in L.A. because of El Ninjo ( Strange name! What kind of thing El Ninjo is!? What else we can enjoy in L.A. without the blue sky? Yes, I'm the one who cried, "I hate the blue skyyyy!!" and I did feature that scene in my music video...so I am in no position to express a strong wish for a beautiful weather....I know it....BUT! Here the air smells like Japan in the evening.....That disgusting abacus lesson.....it smells like those abacus lessons' time. Not that houses all around here stink of roast fish as in Japan. Roast fish is as rare as a coffee can with coffee beans in it. However, I feel Japan-like atmosphere when it rains, I don't know why.....or I would say it "my home town-like" atmosphere. Usually it scarcely rains here in L.A. and people don't bring umbrellas. There are not many shops selling umbrellas. However, a nouveau riche might well be produced by the unusual sales of umbrella in this particular season.....though the precipitation is still less than that in Japan. It is, something like...... a lonesome smell. I guess, what I feel might be nothing to do with Japan or Japanese as a whole. It's that particular scene, when I used to go to the abacus lesson, I felt like "I am all alone in the universe" walking the road along the school in the evening, at dusk. The smell of rain comes up from asphalt reminds me that scene.....I would forgive this rainy weather for a while.....2 or 3 days, only.....(B.G.V.) CLOCK WORK ORANGE/SIDE B. (K's note: It seems that, before this message was written, there was some kind of argument on fans' BBS about whether hide is married or not.)

Today, I arrived here in L.A. Weather is beautiful, weather only. I will finish my work on a new album quickly, and will come back to Japan, quickly! I have many things to do....tour is coming..... You will see me (or hear my voice) in radio programs, TV shows, and in magazines which were recorded in January and open to you from now on. I just have arrived here, and I am not yeeeet settled enough. I even have not obtained a sense of time yet in this place.
