Is a memorial book wrote by a Group called yellow Z (?) and it become very popular because of the informal “mystery” of HIDE's departure, which made lots of waves at that time.

The so called “memorials” had sadly become a profitable business denaturing the facts and funerals details creating confusion among other fans but in the same time increasing the shopping request of items HIDE related ,

more than when HIDE was alive ( fact which makes me really sad to admit) . It seems that in a certain point there was created a “ HIDE funeral Site “ in order that the facts would be preserved objectively and written in detail.

In addition, to HIDE's upbringing of artists and personal activities, a few episodes of HIDE's personality had been introduced while being sprinkled with remarks in an interview about recent TV programs and magazines where HIDE-san had appeared.
