Today (2008-05-02) 10 years ago hide died.
Yoshiki's eulogy (thx to chiochan !!)
It was a shock to me to learn of his death. I still can't believe what happened. Right now he's asleep with a beautiful face. I've tried several times to wake him up, but he's still asleep. Of the five of us, hide was the one who stayed calm and thought everything through. Even though I was the leader, hide was the calm one who gave me good advice when I was exhausted and unstable.
Of course, under all the pressure, he gradually lost his identity. But he kept calling me during these tough times. We talked about X, music, friends, life, fans, everything. He was like a big brother to me and sometimes a little one too. We got drunk together and then sometimes fought. But the next day he came to me and said, "Yoshiki, did I do anything last night? I'm sorry, I don't remember anything."
But this time he didn't apologize to me ... he slept. All fans and friends, you must be so confused. I cannot express his pain in words either, but we have to understand and accept the painful reality. Please watch lovingly over his eternal sleep.
