Fun Facts About Hyde

Some interesting facts about Hyde

- Hyde has his belly button pierced!

- He got his angel wings tattoo probably around 97/98.

- Before he was in L'Arc~en~Ciel he was the guitarist for the band Kiddies Bomb (which changed it's name to Jeruselem's Rod shortly before he left it)

- Supposedly, his mother would make him wear a red backpack to school when he was a child. (Red backpacks are/were typical for girls.)

- Hyde has several copies of his (custom made) pentacle ring in different colours and has been known to lose one a few times. Apparantly, the original ring design is a copy of one of Marilyn Manson's rings.

- He has a huge appetite and eats a lot, which is insane considering how thin he is

- On the most common picture of his wing tattoo (The one that has the Japanese written on it) the words were written by the tattoo artist and they say:

Hyde tattooed a pair of wings on his back,
even though Hyde said 'I prefer the devil.'
Still, he chose the angel in the end.
After many observations,
I realized that angel's wings are really more suitable for Hyde.
During the photo shoot, as I saw the wings,
on Hyde's pale, never-been-tanned skin,
I felt a fleeting yet imprinted feeling of satisfaction;
From now on, using that pair of wings,
Hyde can fly freely.


- One time, while on set for Moon Child, Hyde was waiting for Gackt to finish his filming for the day and started riding around on his motorbike, making a lot of noise and showing off to try and get Gackt's attention, but Gackt never looked at him!

- Hyde loves to draw but, because he is colour blind, he mostly sketches in black and white.

- Hyde designs some of his own clothing (shirts and such) as well as some of the Hydeist goods you can buy on his site.

- Tetsu has nick-named him Doi Hachiro, which I've roughly translated to mean 'top degree of trouble' (someone correct me if I'm wrong here? My Japanese isn't the best) as he is often very mischievious. I've also heard it said that the Doiha part of it is because it's Haido backwards (when written using katakana) ドイハ = ハイド (ha/i/do = do/i/ha ) So I believe that Tetsu calls him that to tease him for both those reasons.

- He's a big fan of Harry Potter.

- Another Moon Child story: one time, Hyde was napping in his chair on set and when he woke up, Gackt was very very close to his face and said something about wanting to kiss him.

- Gackt has admitted to being in love with Hyde. Whether as a friend or more, we'll probably never know.

- Apparantly, Hyde was in the audience at one of Gackt's performances in 2004 (I think it was the one on his birthday?) and blew Gackt a kiss.

- In the early days of L'Arc~en~Ciel, Hyde would often ask Tetsu to give him hickey marks on his neck before they went on stage. (Not quite sure what the point of that was, probably just to tease the fans, but Tetsu talked about it in a... magazine interview)

- Hyde appears to have some sort of obsession with flicking his tongue. In my opinion, part of it is to try and hide the fact that his bottom teeth are kind of crooked, as well as just him flirting with his fans.

- His album Roentgen was recorded in England and there was believe he had the help of an English orchestra

- He also recorded two versions of Roentgen; the Japanese version that features a mix of English and Japanese lyrics as well as an overseas version done comepletely in English, which has now been re-released in Japan with an additional 3 tracks (which are just the c/ws for the Roentgen singles)

- Hyde hates hot and sticky weather. However, he doesn't seem to be overly fond of cold weather, either.

Lol~ those are some really interesting facts, xD Lol~ so nobody knows what colour he cant see yes? Lol~ xD Lol~ thanks. Lol~ i found this from some Gackt Autobiography. Lol~ I'm sure it aint fan made though. Lol~ yeah quite sure, I think. Lol~

Right now, I don't have anyone I can call a "girlfriend." Of course, there are people that I love. I often think "I really like this person" or "I love this person." However, these feelings are spur of the moment. It doesn't matter whether the person is a man or a woman. Take Hyde, for example. When I'm with him, I always think "Wow, this guy is so amazing." That's also love, or feelings very close to love. That smile is a sin. Since I first met him, I have thought that it would be great if Hyde was a girl. But dammit, he's a man! If he was a girl, I would probably fall for him. I really go for types like him. No matter what they say, I'll listen. If he or she said "Come here now," I'd leave work and go. The type of girl that I look for is gentle type like Hyde. If there was a girl like him, I think I would fall for her.

Lol~ yepp thats it, sorry it so ..... wordy. Lol~

yup..... that's the fact..... it even been wrote in gackt 'jihaku' book!!!!

wow.. amazing facts..
Hyde has his own record company, Haunted Records
His height is 5'2
He married Megumi Ooishi on December 25, 2000.. not married now
He has a big appetite and always tries the local cuisine of the countries he travels to.
not much sorry but something to think about

and sorry if people dont agree in these facts.. but i found them on the internet and i wanted to share them with u
1. Hyde used to think the vocalist is the most boring job in a band, and he thinks that the thing worse than singing is singing while playing guitar. His views have changed about vocalists (and the guitar, haha) and now he quite enjoys being the vocalist of L'Arc and also playing guitar while he sings in his own solo work.
2. When Hyde was young, and since he is an only child, his mom, who wanted to have a girl, dressed him up in girly clothes and made him wear a red backpack to school (in Japan, the girls wear red while the boys wear blue backpacks). (thst is so FREAK'n mean !)
3. Fans are not supposed to know Hyde's real name and birthday, yet he himself blabbered it all out on a radio show. (Muhaha !! What a mistake !)
4. Hyde thinks that other than music, he has no other talents.
5. Hyde is obsessed with Harry Potter. He cried while watching the movie. (oh ... my ...GOD!!)
6. Hyde has a huge appetite and he eats a lot. ( yet, he's so god-dammned skinny)
7. Tet-chan named hyde "Doi Hachiro", which roughly translates into "top degree of trouble". The "Doiha" part is supposed to be "Haido" backwards.
8. Once on the Moon Child set, hyde was napping in his chair, and when he woke up, Gackt's face was very close to his and Gackt said something about wanting to kiss him. (no ... Gackt ... NO!!)
9. ( on the topic of Gackt ..) Hyde believes that Gackt is an alien and that his car is a spaceship.
10. Hyde stole beef for a BBQ before.
11. Hyde is the most hentai in L'arc (hence the dirty mc's on tour... teehee)
12. Hyde can't use his left hand very well because of an accident to do with his wrist. (that made me sad to hear about the accident v_v)
13. Hyde has this balance problem when on stage, so he NEEDS a microphone stand. (or he'll fall over? AWW !!!)
14a. Hyde wanted to know what Doraemon saw under water, so he stuffed a cigarette into his nose and went under water in a washing bin. He almost choked...which is probably why he still cant swim.
14b. When Hyde was in miami on vacation he asked his manager to fax him instuctions on how to swim. (LMAO !)
15. When hyde is stressed he thinks of himself as a machine and presses the "cool down" button. (haha ! the "cool down button"!!)

Lol~ woah I never knew Hyde was the most hentai in L'Arc~en~Ciel xD Lol~ I thought it was Ken. Lol~ he stole beef for a BBQ? Lol~ thats interesting. Lol~ he said his real name and birthday on the radio? Lol~ do you know his name and birthday then? xD

Gackt actually said that he could fall in love with HYDE if he was a woman.
