HIDE's  VIDEO  RELEASES On VHS and DVD format

I already talk
about this subject in a previous post, but somehow I feel that I'm missing something, so here I am again debating same subject hoping that maybe this time I'll write everything I can remember about HIDE's VIDEO releases on tapes VHS, LPs or DVD formats. Here we go , let's start again from the beginning. ( Am I getting old and boring, in here ? )



September 29TH 1993,
Seth Et Holth , HIDE's first movie was released on the market. ( at the begining on VHS,and LD only,the DVD format wasn't available to release at that time) SETH (HIDE) and TUSK (ZIL KILL) start a lovely collaboration for a video work so this is how the idea for the mini movie was born. As I have been said it before HIDE took the inspiration for most of his work from daily life events but mostly from his heavy nightmares, of which he seemed to suffer. The collaboration between HIDE and ZIL KILL had resulted in a bewitching performance,
This first movie  of HIDE is a work recommended to be seen. I have talk about this movie before in another post ( HIDE Videography ) so plaese search and read if you want to know more related with this subject. Also if you can't find the movie online, do not hesitate to ask it from me. I will send it to you by e-mail in MP4 format. Enjoy !

death of his death in a television program named "Rocket Punch",which HIDE was recording on a scene-set in LA “on-air” talking about his new radio program which started airing on April 98. If I'm not mistaking it was named " HIDE's All Night Nippon R " the VHS it contains as well a private video, etc. It is HIDE last work recorded so is a bit painful talking about it....

The Studio live for this song was recorded the day before his death, and personal I think this song said it all the story of HIDE and X, magnificent compressed in one song .


... However, it is painful to watch for the fans because it is also recorded abruptly hide's funeral among the video during the live interviews .

    "Co Gal" was then released six years after hide gone. Who knows if there are upcoming works from hide. He was far ahead of time, but never left us behind.
