Hyde

Hyde was the guitarist in another band when he was "recruited" by Tetsuya in 1991 to form the band L'Arc~en~Ciel. Since then, Hyde became the main lyricist of the band, although he also composes music for the band, and for his solo work. In his solo work, Hyde started with singles such as "evergreen", "angel's tale" and "shallow sleep" in 2001, and then he released his first solo album "roentgen". This album was released with lyrics in Japanese and another album with lyrics in English. After that, Hyde released "666", an album with more rock sounds rather than the mellow ones on "roentgen". In 2005 he re-initiated his solo career with the album "faith" and a tour that went even to the U.S. In 2008, Hyde in his solo work from L'Arc~en~Ciel, formed the band "VAMPS" with K.A.Z., releasing a collection of singles and two albums to this date, the band also went on tour in 6 countries, including for the first time a Latin American Country.
