HIDE Phone Card

During HIDE's 1st solo tour in 1994 along with other bunch of wonderful stuff it was as well sold a set of telephone cards issued by the HeadWax organisation.

Tough they were perfectly working I doubt that someone used them for something else than decorative purpose, after all they're valuable collectible items not some commune telephone cards .

Here they are as they were presented in the original cover, set here for display. Enjoy and thank you for reading HIDEKI's blog posts :) ! 

HIDE OUR PSYCOMMUNITY GUEST Pass Card

Remember how HIDE used to wear around his neck an ALL AREA access card while performing on stage in various concerts ? I thought it was so funny and childish in same time...

WTFlip I wanted one too :) (so I ended up owning several LOL) anyhow this is a REPLICA of the GUEST Pass Card that HIDEKI himself used to wear in his 1st Solo Tour from 1994...that will be like 22 years ago...OMG, when did the time pass so fast ???? hugs and cheers !

HIDE Memorial Poster Frame

On the same 10th commemoration event, along with the Plaster Bust and other merchandise, a " Memorial Poster Frame" was also released for public . As it happens every year for nearly 2 decades now, on the fixed day for the commemoration event it is tradition to be offered for sale some "extra limited edition" item ,

in this case was the poster frame, rumor has it there were only 500 pieces issued for public sale , and this is somehow sustained by the serial nr engraved on the plate which only contains 3 digits...The Memorial Poster itself contains along with a small scale reproduction of HIDEKI's famous yellow-red heart guitar and his picture , a set of coins baring HIDEKI's logos , an autograph message ( not HIDE's usual autograph) and the above mentioned plate with the serial nr and HIDEKI's logo "HIDE with Spread Beaver"

followed by "HIDE Memorial Day 10th Anniversary" . What else could I say ? except that is simply cool...hmm...if this counts for anything...you might one day get lucky and have it, you may never know what people are ready to sell next...

I wouldn't sell my stuff tough...I prefer trading or simply gifting them to other fans, younger and more eager to know/have/appreciate them more :) . Thank you for supporting HIDE's blog by reading the posts :) . 

Ever Free HIDE Plaster Bust

Have you ever thought while watching footage of various shows with HIDEKI and X or other of his bands that for whatever he accomplished in this world or even in after life someone should make him a statue ???...well...they did it !

an Ever Free version of HIDEKI was molded in Plaster, now don't you dare to use it as hats storage or other such

stuff...HIDEKI's bust is not for such trivial things...you have been warned ! and my Mom was severe sanctioned for such blasphemy...damn some people do not get what "that's my Holly Crap...don't touch it ! " really means...but let's get back to the statue. The Plaster bust is been released for the 10th anniversary of his early departure and is baring the following description " Under the full cooperation of HIDE-san and the leader-board of HeadWax organisation"

(the full cooperation...hmmm, having in mind that poor him has been dead at that time over a decade I don't think he opposed too much...so yah full cooperation...whatever...) so...under full cooperation on both sides ahahahah...sorry couldn't help myself...the plaster bust it is as stated on the provenience papers, " a fateful reproduction of HIDE's hairstyle, costume and...facial expression" . It was released in 2 colors, black and white,

both versions heaving a wonderful game of highlighted and shades features completing somehow the "majesty" of this bust. Personal I do prefer the white version but this doesn't mean that the black version is less gorgeous,

to be honest both of them are superb but I needed to chose 1 so I found white more appropriate of my expectations for a HIDE bust reproduction. There was a time when they used to sell it at the LEMONed shop online around the year 2012, I don't know if they're doing it anymore, but is worth to have a look if you are interested . Thanx for reading this post too, with each of you coming back to read the posts it motivates me to share more and more info about out dearest devilish lover super rocking eternal star :) .

HIDE Digital Photo Frame


Think for a moment than close your eyes and wish for the perfect present...what would that be ? For me it was the HIDE Digital Photo Frame, if you got one as well than you are damn lucky because the above mentioned frames are a rare sigh and pure gold treasure to hold.

It was produced in limited edition of 1000 pieces only ever made, its aim is to commemorate HIDEKI's memory but trust me it does much more than that, it keeps him...updated...yes, you read good.

The frame is equipped with internal memory containing a number of pictures rare viewed by public and even more that that, it also has an ISO based mode that support music tunes, WTFlip ? isn't that awesome ? what photo frame could be cooler than that ? The screen size is 7 inches, pretty good for a photo frame :)

LOL , trust me you want that beside the bed on the night table, imagine watching a playback and forward of HIDEKI's pictures right before falling asleep, now what can beat that ? Enjoy reading other posts on this page, and thanx for coming back for new info :) , I'll try post as much as I can whenever I can catch some free time . Ps...I guess you were wondering what is the yellow stuff next to photo frame...well yes...the frame comes with a remote so you can operate it from your comfy spot altering or changing different modes :), cheeers !

HIDE Dive to 2000 =other postcards and pin-up=

I showed you before in an earlier post some 3D cards released with the "Dive to 2000" now I will show other cards,

post cards this time to me more accurate, followed by few Pin-ups profiling our much loved HIDEKI . Let's start with this 2 gorgeous postcards on black/white edition, shall we ?

I love so much how he looks like wearing that hat, isn't he cutie ? lovely smile too, so genuine and candid . I feel so good sharing this with you all.

It makes me happy seeing his smile on " all walls" LOL. The next 2 cards are featuring HIDEKI on Psyence look . That orange fits so crazy with his woow Pink hair...

by the way I kept saying this to everyone I've meet trying to cosplay HIDEKI, if you want to wear his hair color...please use Pillarbox Red hair die (this is the nuance he used on his hair for the beautiful red-pink we all adore)

I know I'm a pest repeating myself over and over but if you follow my posts you'll notice I am not bad intended. The last image is a pin-up sold along with the postcards from same Dive to 2000 edition . It makes me smile every time looking at it, HIDEKI's face expression is just...LOL . Good Morning and thank you for returning to read HIDE's blog's posts :) !.

No , he wasn't "Backa Neko"...well maybe a little :) , but yes we'll surely keep on loving him :) the next one is "Pink Spider" ZIPPO it has as design as you can see a spider web, and HIDEKI's silhouette ghosting trough, as if trap in the spider's web...could this be a sad double meaning ? maybe...

 this is how it looks on the other side, it is baring the sign "HIDE with Spread Beaver" , lovely isn't it ? 

And finally here it is the gorgeous autographed ZIPPO , I love it so much it is so special to me from a variety of reasons :)
