<Suicide>
(Mainichishinbun [popular newspaper])

"X Japan" 's former guitarist Hide-san found in his home !

On the 2nd around 7:30 am, a former member of the popular rock group that broke up at the end of last year, guitarist Hide-san (age 33), real name Matsumoto Hideto, was discovered by the woman he lived with in his Tokyo Metropolitan area Koukunanasanuno house hung. She called 119 [same as 911 in USA; emergency number]. He was confirmed dead before 9 am while being transported to the hospital. There was no posthumous writings (suicide note?); a police headquarter officer said it looked like suicide. As to the investigation, on the same day around 6 am, Matsumoto-san was sent home with his younger brother (age 30). As they had been considerably drunk, the woman he had lived with put him to bed on his 12 tatami mats in his room; at 7:30 am when she went to check on him, Matsumono had wreathed a towel on the side of the door knob, it appeared like he was hung with shirimochi (?) and this is how she found him hung. He was in his underwear. The towel was cut into two, both ends being tied together into a cord.

Matsumoto-san came from Kanagawa Prefecture Oushu City. In 1987, he became guitarist of the former group "X JAPAN." After the separation December of last year, "X JAPAN" was organized into 2 bands, it had many fans. And they had also participated in the Marrow Bank Organization. Matsumoto released a solo single in January "ROCKET DIVE" that sold 600000 records; and in this month, he was to release 2 singles. The album recording was scheduled to begin in 3 days.

As Matsumoto-san was affiliated with the record company "Universal Victor", company employees would energetically come to work to assist him. One company employee bewilderingly said "I haven't heard anything of dying about breathing difficulties. He was doing okay, but it does seem to be suicide." The single will be released at planned. A company official of the music company "Head Wax Organization" stated "I don't know about the circumstances of his death. Nothing comes to my mind."

Funeral services of Matsumoto-san will be held on the 7th at 1 p.m., at the Chikuji Hongan Temple in Central Chikuji. The chief mourner is Mitsuru-kun.

In August of '96, Matsumoto-san registered for a bone marrow transplant donor from a sick fan girl who he slept with; the fan understood and gave him her cooperation.

Living in Wakayama Prefecture, he got to know this girl at the end of '95. The girl came to visit Matsumoto-san at a concert; what was known as "Peripheral Nerve Regenerative Disorder," there were only 20 people with a serious case of this disease in the world. After this, Matsumoto-san continued to phone and write her, he thought that a bone marrow transplant was close at hand, and he decided to register it.

When he registered for the donor at the Nichiseki Central Blood Center in the Tokyo Metropolitan area Juukokuku, authorized personal drew blood from him and examined it; a donor card on his left arm shyly read "Because words can't express it well, there are only actions" and "Good luck to all
of the children with cancer" was also the message.

(an article from Mainichi Shinbun, a popular newspaper in Japan about Hide's death)
http://news.yahoo.co.jp/headlines/dom/mai/0306260000.maidom005.html



Yoshiki said:

"I'm very shocked to hear about his death. I still can't believe what has happened. Right now, he's sleeping with a beautiful face. I tried to wake him up many times, but he's still sleeping. Between the five of us, Hide was the one who kept his calm and thought out things. Even though I was the leader, he was the calm one who gave me good advice when I was being short tempered and emotional. Of course with all of that pressure, he too almost lost his identity. But during those hard times, he'd always give me a call. We would talk about X, music, friends, life, fans, almost anything. He was like an older to me and sometimes like a younger brother too. We'd drink togethher and sometimes fight. But the next day, he'd come to me and say, "Yoshiki, did I do something last night? I'm sorry, I don't remember a thing.: But this time, he didn't say anything back to me, sleeping. To all fans and friends, you must all be confused. I too can not express this sadness in words But we must understand that this is a reality. Everyone please watch over his eternal sleep warmly.

X-Japan Leader Yoshiki

Yoshiki was wiping his tears with a white hankerchief, the paper he was reading was shaking, his words all muffled by his tears. This was read in front of the temple where Hide's funeral will be at on the seventh.


Honganji Temple


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Translated by EyesoVenus(EyesoVenus@aol.com)

(05/02/98)
Hide's news was announced 12:00, at noon and after every news times no drug, no case by the inquest, hide was backed home in Yokosuka soon.

(05/03/98)
01:15am NHK special program X-Japan discography this program was a rebroadcasting scheduled over 1 month before.

Many fans gathered around hide's condo, Lemonade building someone gathered in front of hide's parent's home.

05:15pm Yoshiki returned alone! ( he used to go everywhere with many staffs ) from L.A. He went straight to Tsukiji Honganji Temple by his Rolls- Royce. Adding to say, Honganji Temple is the most celebrated Temple in Tokyo, only prestigious people's funeral can be performed there,

6:30pm Yoshiki made a statement in front of the Temple's gate. About 50 fans was able to hear him. You can read it on some web site. He stayed there with hide and hide's parents till after 11pm. ( It was said they sat calmly in sad, talk with little...Yoshiki promised hide's mother to do "Suteki na"
funeral. X-J songs and hide's songs were heard as BGM ) Heath, Pata, Ryuichi visited there too.

(05/04/98)
There are a lot of fans gathered with flowers at Honganji. They surrounded the temple, mostly crying with hugging each other... They say

"hide is still alive in my heart......"
"He was the first man to stop another's death....."
"I love hide forever........"
"hide didn't suicide, it was an accident caused by hide
like joke..."

(05/05/98)
The funeral held exclusively by the family and closed friends. 1:00 p.m. to 3:50 ( very longer than ordinary ) 300 people attended, X-J members were the front row. Toshi appeared.
Yoshiki came alone in the back of his RR.

hide's photo is 2.5x1.5 meters from "Psyence" and his 13 guitars is on the altar. Over 200 fans stayed up all night surrounding Honganji. Many fans went back home leaving flowers behind because schools start again on 5/06. The fans remaining ( do they skip classes? )gathered those flowers and soaked them in the buckets water for the next day's flower offering. They are very kind like hide! "-" hide's office decided accepting the flowers, they has been offered the altar! "-" The fans sometimes gather trash and sweep the street, they are staying neatly. The signature collecting campaign of the hide memorial hall has broke out among the fans.

(05/06/97)
The flower offering from 10:00am to 7:00pm. Over 10 girls fell down in a faint soon after the offering and brought to a hospital. The inside of the Honganji funeral hall is opened to the press at 4:00pm for the first time. The wake will be held from 6:00pm this evening.....

20000 fans offered flowers. TK appeared in the wake. Many young rock musicians gathered like as Extacy Summit. News said 2 hide fan girls are critical by attempted suicide. X-Japan members held a press conference to appeal to fans not do what makes hide sad, don't follow hide...

YOSHIKI said definitely that he believes hide's death was an accident because YOSHIKI and hide had planed the 2nd X-Japan by the year 2000..... but...but....it comes mirage.......Oh,no...... Only I can say is "Why hide.....?" Toshi couldn't express his feeling well in the words, Yoshiki patted on Toshi gently ("-")Y~~when he didn't know what to say and said "Toshi & I are good friends
still now."

They seemed, for me..., a great father and a returned 'leave home' son. YOSHIKI has gotten dignity and nobility and Toshi looks become shabby.....

(05/07/98)
The flower offering scheduled from 10:00am today, but it was put forward from 8:30 by YOSHIKI's advice "-" The line of the fans reached 3 km... Yoshiki is playing the black piano, Toshi is singing "Forever Love". Ex-prime minister's wife gives a testimonial to hide. 50000 fans are surrounding the Honganji Temple. Who have ever seen such a enthusiastic funeral.........



Crowds shut down central Tokyo for rocker's funeral from CNN News

wawwwaww! dah lama gua kaga liat Forum ini jadi kaga tao perkembangan-nya...anyway gua terharu masih ada yang mo mengenang X-JAPAN!... hikz....
gua blon liat jelas nich semua isi posting ini...gua take a look dulu yach!kepanjangan sih...
HIDUP X-JAPAN...eh dah bubar yach hehehe =)
pokonya X-JAPAN tetep #1

[Yoshiki Hayashi]

Well...emang X-Japan dah bubar (sorry topic dah basi)
emm...sampe sekarang sih gua blon tao the real reason why "Toshi" mo kuar dari group X-JAPAN...and kalo kaga salah dia sekarang solo carier and kerja sama ama Mashiya record or what gua lupa namanya...
and sekilas katanya Yoshiki sekarang tinggal di LA,and sering balik ke Japan...dia ke LA buat urusin Record studionya...(dah jadi bos dia)anyway dia juga leader production beberapa band...kaya GLAY gitu..
The Last time Yoshiki seen waktu di pesta kekerajaan di Jepun,dia diundang and dapet tugas ngecompose orchestra buat kaisar jepang...after that..i dont know?
Anyway...selama ini gua respect bener ama Yoshiki(not me right!)dulu pertama kali gua maen drum...gua kaga ada idol and maen asal-asalan...cumen pas pertama kali gua dikenalin ke X-JAPAN lewat mp3 lagu SILENT JEALOUSY...and suddenly gua jadi gila JROCK...ditambah gua dibeliin VCD X JAPAN the LAST LIVE...wadaw...ngeliat si Yoshiki Solo Drum...no wonder dia manusia pa kaga...akhirnya..dia jadi Idol gua
walao X-JAPAN dah bubar pula,and then yang little bit strange selaen drummer dia juga seorang pianist...bisa juga maen Piano...reverse 180° dari maen Drum...beda aliran 100%
disaat dia maen drum he become a Monster or Devil
and saat maen piano suddenly become an Angel...
kayanya tuh orang ada 2 personality...kaya suka nangis sendiri and suka mad...sensitive bener sih...
Oh iya...the BadNews dia kaga bisa maen Drum lagi :(:(:(
karena dia ada problem...dia menderita penyakit tulang belakang...rematik lah...mungkin gara gara dia gila bener maen drum kali yach?uratnya dah putus kali...hehehe
well...dari X-JAPAN ini gua jadi mengenal dunia JROCK
kaya LunaSea,L'arc~en~ciel..etc...
oh iya Janne da Arc...emm no comment dah penyanyinya kaya banci tuh...suaranya juga...cumen lagunya ok juga la...
Pierrot juga lumayan,Drummernya cukup bishonen heheeh
oh iya sebenernya X JAPAN THE LAST LIVE itu kaga ada pernah Videonya...yang resmi maksud gua...itu semua merupakan rekaman dari TV,and yang siarin tuh video tuh ada 3 tv swasta,and setiap tv beda View angle-nya and versi,nya
lagian yang VCD gua dapet ini banyak bener di CUTnya
kaya Kurenainya aja dah pas mo abis...and kaga beraturan lagi urutan lagunya...gua jadi bingung...ending-nya itu sebenernya di lagu "LAST SONG" atao "Endless Rain" or "Forever Love"? cumen...yah boleh juga la...oh iya temen gua dapet the other version of LAST LIVE Video loh...ada tambahan lagunya...Say Anything kalo kaga salah...sial rugi juga nich...well sapa ada video tape aslinya?

Okay...itu aja sekilas atao kebanyakan yach? hehehe...
ttg X-JAPAN...and buat X JAPAN mania! keep it going!
gua beberapa lama ini stuck di DDR trus hehehe...
cumen gua kaga bakal lupain Rock donkk...
oh iyaa ada kabar tentang PATA or HEATH? mana tuh 2 orang?
and menurut gua basist TAIJI lebih better dibanding HEATH,karena di Last Live ampir kaga kedengeran suara BASS nya...

PYSHDELIC VIOLENCE CRIME OF VISUAL SHOCK
