Ever since I started listening to your music I have grown attached to your work. I just want you to know that everyone in X Japan are in a world tour right now and they found a guitarist who you would be proud to have in your place. Nobody has forgotten about you, X Japan have a tribute to you every concert they do and have a doll of you on stage with them. You will never be forgotten and your music will live on. In your memory I will start a band that is a tribute to your work. Watch over us in heaven, you are my saint.

My beloved hide-san <3

I remember when I first saw hide. Good memories. I discovered him through Luna Sea. People were writing about him on Luna Sea's videos too. Especially on the hide memorial concert. I watched the video and Luna Sea was performing there and then I scrolled down to read some comments. I saw that many had written things like "I miss you hide" and everything. And I thought it was a bit annoying so I searched him up on youtube to see who he was and why everyone was writing such things about him there.
And then I saw the "Tell me" video. I really can't describe how I felt when I watched it. so 10 min later I decided to search him on google and the first thing I saw was that he was dead. I didn't really react much but I got very shocked later!
hide has changed my life in many ways and before I discovered him I was very unhappy. But it's totally different now, thanks to hide-san.
I hope that you're happy where you are now hide. Watch X Japan's live's from heaven and be proud over them. And I just want you to know that I love you so much! Forever Love Pink Spider <3

The father i wish to have a dream of. because of this man i learned soo much and i am a good person today even though I have many flaws. thank you hide...otosan. i miss you
