hide Interview Part One, May 1998. English subtitles.

This is a part of hide's last interview done May 1st, 1998 with english subtitles. Some of the subtitles go by pretty fast so you may need to pause frequently. Also, I re-subbed and re-up-loaded it so it's much more in synch and easier to read. Anyway, ENJOY!

He's truly a gem. You rarely have artists nowadays that say out loud what they think, so blatantly like he did, and be absolutely charming while doing so. I'm still sad that I discovered him so 'late', my teenage self would have loved him.
5:19 His shoulder is in discomfort, in which Yoshiki claims his death was accidental as he was trying to alleviate the pain (from the guitar strap) with a towel tied to the doorknob but he reckons he fell asleep due to being intoxicated.

I just discovered hide not even a week ago. When he died, I was only 4 years old. Why do I feel so guilty for not knowing what happened or being there to help him? Sometimes my thoughts rabbit trail into thinking that I'd rather give up my life for his. I know it's the wrong way of looking at it, but it's an urge that's just there. hide, I just met you and I already miss you.
HIDE is the greatest guitarist in Japanese history. He is a legend. His solo work was so different from being in X Japan. You can tell he was much happier as a soloist and doing his thing. He was the show no matter what he was doing. Such a musical magician and obviously a heart throb to those women who saw him. The fact he liked Ace Frehley of Kiss, Jimmy Page of Zepplin, and came here in the 90's to get a better understanding of twin guitars just amplifies his stardom. He was willing to learn from the best because he wanted to be the best and he is ranked #1 by so many guitarist experts of the Japanese culture. Pata close 2nd. Sugizo also right there. R.I.P. Hide you are sorely missed

No one ever acknowledging him on any 'best guitarists" list is pure crime on music history (same goes for Yoshiki and his drumming skill - these two are god of guitar and demon of drums). I would also like to add Syu from Galneryus to your list - that dude has some mad guitar skill as well (not surprising, since he said he's hugely inspired by hide).

He'd probably want you to mention someone not generally known as well, someone whom he considered absolutely incredible: Yukihiro Fujimura ("The Legendary guitarist of Kansai"), more generally known as Chachamaru - for the last two decades Gackt-sama's main guitarist and musically speaking, his right hand. But, I've been made aware of him through hide himself, when he mentioned the somewhat obscure band GERARD and Yukihiro-sama specifically.
There's no one who can come close to hide. He was a beautiful, intelligent, talented man. He had love for others. In return we love him. Miss you hideto, my hero 💙
OMG! I went from a very sad video about his death and now this clip. I agree that it is so much easier to celebrate his wonderful inspiring life, rather than keep grieving for his passing. I know it hasn't been easy. He is such an inspirational musician. RIP hide. We'll never forget you!

Totally agree. But the annyversary of his death it's always a bitter sweet one... everybody is sad, everybody watches his videos over and over and we can't help but to cry over and over and over again and to wish he was still alive and to wonder how big of a star he would be today or if his children will wear pink hair too. LOL And then, it doesn't matter how much we try to make ourselves feel better by saying "let's celebrate his life instead", we are still grieving his lost. We just don't like to admit it because we don't want to be the only one in the crowd with sad puppy eyes. On May 2nd I will let my emotions flow and cry my eyes out if I want to, then I will smile back at him and rejoice in the fact that he is probably making the angels dance with his music and God smile with his pink hair. LOL Yes, we'll never forget him! My respects to Hide-san.
"I'd screw around like a motherfucker" I made a good choice when I chose him as my role model.
4 years later , i'm coming back to this video just to see the last look of him before he left us . What a huge and tragic lost , we miss you hide . if only you were here today , Rock In Peace . once again we miss you .
I have no strong opinion on whether his death was accidental or intentional, and I think the constant focus on that question is missing the forest for the trees. One could argue his regular heavy drinking appeared to be a symptom of un-wellness. Some speculate it was the cause. Either way, he died due to attempting to alleviate his pain, either physical or mental, and the line between those two things is negligible. Though only one of them is unfairly stigmatized... Many are spreading myths about how suicidal people look/act by saying there's no way he could have those thoughts due to appearing at ease in certain moments. There are multiple examples of celebrities conducting 'happy' final appearances, even recently the Korean idols Sulli and Jonghyun, who both uploaded images of themselves smiling and laughing in the weeks leading up to their suicides. Not to mention the collectivist mindset of countries like Japan that encourages people to keep quiet about their problems in public and never 'rock the boat.' It is not unthinkable that hide had these thoughts. Instead of denying the possibility so easily, try thinking about why you even feel the need to do so. Would it make him a bad or foolish person if it were intentional? (the answer is no.) And what of a number of his fans, who killed themselves in the wake of his death? For them, at the very least, hide's death could've been used to have a national-level conversation in Japan about confronting prejudices surrounding mental illness, and then one positive thing would've come out of all this. Instead people would rather pretend depressed individuals are 100% miserable 100% of the time, thus continuing the situation that makes it so difficult for struggling people to seek help with their pain and resort to 'self-medicating', like hide's departed fans did. It is totally lacking in compassion and is a fucking insult to their memory and his.

Its sad watching this now and make it more worse is find out that this interview held a day before his death. Omg.. if the time turnel is exist I'll definitely wana be back to that day and save him. But reality check he is gone now. I've been listening to XJapan 6 years now. And yea like any others fans out there, I MISS U SO MUCH HIDETO MATSUMOTO. R.i.P
I've only been a fan of X-JAPAN for a few weeks. But I cry every time I listen to Hide's interviews or watch their old lives. I love you Hide
Mellie you are an absolute star !!! Thank you so much for these subs - priceless !! Thanks, thanks and thanks again :)
So sad.. watching this interview and knowing he died the day after
I wonder why there arn't more interviews that are subbed, i only learned about hide today and i'm kind of sad that i can't watch and understand the other interviews and learn more about him, thank you for subbing this one i really appreciate it :)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Japanese and English are so different from each other it's a tough translate for anyone who isn't fluent in both. I didn't actually do the original translation on this, I re-translated it from a transcript so it made more sense and flowed like it should. I do know some Japanese but not enough to translate myself. If I did, there would be a lot of his interviews translated to English.

Oh shit, i love this man ):
THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS WITH SUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your colours will never fade, hide! we love you!
For once the interviewers werent annoying..especially the lady, shes cool...people like hide only come once in a lifetime...R.I.P....we still remember you, forever and always
its so weird to see hide's last act in his career is being in an interview. Not that theres anything wrong with that, its just so unreal that he dies the next day. Still, he still rocks in our hearts. hide is
Thx for English subtitles.... hide.. I luv you..... forever...

I miss him so much 😭
End of an era. :( RIP Hideto Matsumoto (1964-1998)
すきだーーー
*sigh*...it's so painful to watch this....hide seems to be in such a good mood...yet we know that just a day after this he left us forever T___T death comes so suddenly and unexpected...*sigh* At least he will live forever in the memory of his dear fans...I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU
Awwwww Hideko and Rie, beautiful names
Isn't this like - the day before he died? R.I.P. hide - you'll forever be loved.
He had been drinking with his brother later on this day. Sometimes too much alcohol wasnt good with Hide, he would get into confrontations with his bandmates but always apologize afterwards. I believe he took his own life sadly, but it was under the influence of alcohol. Sucks. I still idolize him to this day. Very creative, very a head of his time, and influential. A damn shame, the music industry would've beem very different. I remember his Pink Spider song being used on a music channel in WA called The Box. RIP Hide.
11 years today. R.I.P.

2 days ago I was in the X Japan final round World Tour. My heart, mind and soul are still in the concert up untill now. That's why I came here to see Hide. And another reason I came here is because Yoshiki was telling a story in the concert about how they established the band and all the pain they went through when they lost beloved Hide and Taiji ; ( ...@StarlightDreamer12 Thanks for looking up the meaning of that proverb. So, I don't need to look it up myself. Lol
yeah, you're right . i'm impressed as well, i think he had took english classes as well !!
"i'll screw around like a mother******" hmm, i begin to love this guy :)
I Love him...
5:19 From here you can see that he had the pain on his shoulder..
Hide i miss you a lot ... so sad T.T
あなたはいつも私の意識の中にいるでしょう。

happy Birthday Hideeeeeeeeeeeeee
If you know what the rest of the members said, they said it was a stress relief thing that they all did, Hide just happened to stay there too long.
Hide rocks
break my heart ;____;
A day after this show, Hideto is no longer in this world
yes, they can. U can search on youtube.. hide made few songs in English such as Electric Cucumber... Yoshiki can speak fluent English as well
Hide was looking so good in everything 💗 he was so kind hearted and polite person 😥💗
He said he was in x japan for Yoshiki, for what bound them together?
Evidence of the fact that he was doing the shoulder relief towel thing when he died!?
lol the camera man is pissing himself laughing a some points in the interview!!!
1:25
yeah I speak french too, but I'm not fluent. On a conversational level, I'm ok but to work with French professionally, I would need to travel more to boost my vocabulary and my hearing skills (etc.) But to teach Spanish or French in the school setting, you really don't need much, and that's what I'm about to do, in the meantime. I'm really impressed with Yoshiki's English however, and from the way he speaks, I can tell he was an avid studier and good at foreign languages.

Completely agree. If for no other reason (and there are many), remember how hide viewed his fans. He cared far too much to do such a thing. It's Japan after all; he certainly knew some fans would try to follow him when he left. I blame alcohol and nothing--and no one--else.
Maybe hide reincarnated like a girl named Rie :)
omg i love u soo much hide-san ^^
@LuminaBlade seriously it was 16 hours?? O'O

He died just like every GREAT musician...not by natural death (like John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Elvis, Freddie Mercury...) sad but true. I miss you a lot Hide. R.I.P. *sorry for my crappy english u,u*
funny enough i was thinking the same thing
hide's cute...he's funny when the part of this vid that he said he wanted to be a girl,wow! super fun
eh? the interview was done one day before hide's death?? oh god...
french is easily harder than english, yoshiki himself said it. and i know it since i speak french

he had been out drinking the night of this interview, with members of spread beaver and his brother hiroshi, who brought him home around 6:30 am. he got ready and went to bed, his girlfriend went in about 30 minutes later and found him slumped against the closet door with a towel under his chin, the towel was not in a noose around his neck, he was in cardiac arrest, he died at the hospital a little before 9 am.
I freaked out with that cause my name is Hideko xDDDDDD

Obviously it's impossible to know, but from this interview it does not seem like he is suicidal. Maybe his mindset changed quickly but in my mind I find it more likely that it was an accidental death now that I've seen this interview.

Female version of hide? My body is ready. (I would've also picked the girl).
one night he got drunk and accidentally hung himself with a towel on a doorknob
I have the whole vid of HIDE his invincble deluge evidence and i need someone to sub it if you can i will email it to you
He looks withdrawn here..
isnt it kind of a coincidence that he was asked whether he liked solo work or playing with X, and the next day he was found dead, and many pressumed suicide with the reason that he missed playing with X? I dont know, i dont even wanna think about it. I just think that hide would have been a great man today as much as he was back then. Rock in peace, hide.
