20/07/2000 HIDE Museum Memorabilia merchandise releases


By the time when the HIDE Museum was first time open to public, around 2000 , on 20th of July to be more precise, it was held a HIDE Memorial.

As HIDEKI's memory was just as fresh in all fan's mind, as his shocking parting from us, people from all over the world start to gather at HIDE's Museum as if on a perpetual pilgrimage which will last till the shameful demolish of such holly place where we could still touch...feel the vibes...smell the scent of HIDEKI's spirit ( tough I have enough material about the Museum + day by day demolish,

documented footage, I delay as much as I can the moment when I will need to post about that...is too painful, demolishing that place was as cruel as vandalizing his grave in 2013...I have no words to express what I feel ).

Anyhow on that event of July 20th some merchandise was released for sell at the famous LEMONed shop on the Museum perimeters.

Let us start first with HIDE Memorial Plate.

This was a commemorative plate  coming in a special Plexiglas case, the metal chip inside is reproducing one of HIDEKI's famous pictures ,

the same one was displayed at his funeral. the Plexiglas frame is seated on a layer of black velvet

within a black box bearing HIDEKI's logo. It was a precious collectible for the fans

who ignored the high price simply buying it for true sentimental value.

Next product on the line is an electronic smart desk watch,

it looks like a silver agenda but when you peak inside you realize is much more that a clock. It contains an calculator board, is equipped with an calendar on the electronic display

as well with various tunes of alarm setting which makes it a perfect office equipment as well as home desk clock. Take it any way, I love it :) !

A set of 10 different pin badges was offered for sale as well. The badges, all of them featuring cartoons of HIDEKI's very well known and loved signature guitars ,

were very shortly very popular among the sold items of that event , that is maybe because they're so cute, who would have resist the temptation to wear on the jacket's collar such cute pin badge ?

HIDEKI's photo special framed in a nice designed photo stand

was also one of the attractions of this event, many fans did bought it as day memory of that event. Poor HIDEKI if his spirit could I guess he would have killed someone at HeadWax

for not finding a better picture from the tones of footage he did in his lifetime ( LMFAO that was a joke, I do love that picture ) .

Also another important piece of resistance released at that event was a display box

containing all signature models of guitar picks which belonged to HIDEKI during X Japan and his solo career. Even after so many years I still look upon them with great affection,

unchanged by the time passing, simply lovely this could make a perfect gift for any of HIDEKI's fans,tough very rare it is not impossible to be found :) , as I always advice you , check Yahoo Japan auctions :) !
