HIDETO MATSUMOTO IDOL NIPPON SPECIAL ISSUE 1998

Published in 1998, the NIPON IDOL magazine it's a memorial book of HIDE's that have been issued in Thailand. It contains among other a Japanese newspaper article which seems to summarize us the content of the magazine.

It seems it records HIDE's funerals in detail. Along with the

translation were published a number of photos too among other articles and interviews regarding HIDE's Solo activity published into the other music magazines too.

A memorial held by the local fans was the base for this edition dealing with the Funeral details of the Nipon Superstar. I unfortunately cannot read Thai , but if one day someone who can read the text will be kind enough to translate it for us I will publish the content here for sure. I am glad that fans all over the world loved HIDE , I am Romanian...a foreigner too, so I understand where the Thai fans are standing for, that was so sweet of them.

Thank You Thailand !
