i finally get to read alice nine's diaries today T_T .

hiroto's post was on Hide , although he didnt specify it .
a lot of jrockers are inspired by X Japan ...
and it is common to hear Hide's name,
so i decided to check it out at wikipedia.com.


Hideto Matsumoto died on May 2, 1998. After a night out drinking, he was found hanged with a towel tied to a doorknob in his Tokyo apartment. Three fans died in copycat suicides, of the 50,000 people who attended his funeral, nearly 60 were hospitalized and about 200 received medical treatment in first aid tents.

While authorities deemed Matsumoto's death a suicide, several of Hide's friends and colleagues stated that they believed it to be an accident, among them X Japan co-founder Yoshiki Hayashi and former X Japan bassist Taiji Sawada. This notion is supported by the fact that no suicide note was left and Sawada theorizes in his autobiography, that at the night of his death, Hide may have been practicing a technique to relieve upper back and neck pains which guitarists can suffer from continuous use of a shoulder strap. The technique involved was practiced by the X Japan members during their touring days and required the use of a towel and a door knob or handle. According to Sawada, Matsumoto may have fallen asleep in his intoxicated state, becoming caught and strangling himself.

gosh... so his death was an accident? although i didnt hear X Japan's music... but i believed that they had inspired many current jrock bands, and they're also one of the earliest successful jrock bands in the 1980s . and whatever more, his death was 2 days before hiroto's birthday... i wonder how hurt he felt at then ... gosh .

on the way home, strangely,
i felt that i was surrounded by an unknown sorrowness .

i strongly believe that it was due to the unacceptable reason or cause of Hide's death.
then , i had a strong feeling that i wnna bow(laugh).
and i did(LAUGH).

of cos, not in the public, but somewhere else(winks).

now i understand why hiroto use a gibson les paul.
and it also strenghten my will of obtaining one.
