Kaoru's thoughts about HIDE
Even now, I still wonder, “If he’s still alive, would I be able to talk to him? Would I be able to drink with him? If he comes up with a crazy idea, would I be desperate to do it?” Something like that.
Other members of DIR also meet and build relationships with people they admire. Sometimes I imagine that if I receive a message from HIDE-san at night that he is in Fukuoka, would I just take a taxi and run to him? Well, I don’t know if I could have that kind of relationship…

KUMA: Never Ending Bond - Preface and Prologue (Translation)
Note: Translation of the book "Owaranai Kizuna" ("Never Ending Bond") by Inoue "kuma" Hideki, who started out as X's roadie, was hide's personal manager until 1995, and a friend of his until the end.
I am trying my hand at a direct translation with this. It will not be perfect and may contain mistakes (almost certainly so). I am, as always, open to corrections.
Important note to avoid confusion: Throughout the book, KUMA alternates between calling hide "HIDE-san" and "Shishô", which means something like "master" or "teacher" and reflects the relationship they had. I decided to keep the Japanese word, as the English translation was oddly awkward.
Preface
Shihô, I feel like I haven’t seen you in a while…
Since we first met, we have never not seen each other for this long.
I was tired of the loneliness of not being able to see you, and tired of fighting it.
Come to speak of it, Shishô, all other things aside, there is something that has always been on my mind.
It’s that “unfinished song” that you helped me give shape to when I put all my effort into it at Lake Yamanaka.
I thought it would be a precious memory stored deep in my heart, of just you and me, not bothered by anyone else.
But, but, it seems that if I keep it sealed away like that, it will become the worst regret of my life…
When next we meet, I would completely hate myself if you say to me, “KUMA, what about that song you were working on? I haven’t heard it in full yet,” and I can’t let you listen to it.
Because I want to raise my chest with pride and say, “I did the best I could. Here it is.”
Therefore, therefore, even though it took me more than eleven years to get there, I did finish that “unfinished song”.
Since my memories are flowing over, please wait with listening to it until after you have read this…
---
Prologue
First of all…
What I want to convey through this book is, most of all, “my bond with Shishô”.
It was so deep, deep, even I can’t imagine it. (A Never Ending Bond.)
Before I knew it, that bond with Shishô that started with me meeting X and grew with things accumulating over a long, long time, turned him into someone who was like family to me.
This bond, I think, is what I want to write about.
I’m going far back in time with this, so my memory may be a little faulty here and there, but I think I want to share a piece of the secret, hidden truth not seen by the public so far.
Shishô (HIDE-san) was not someone to express his thoughts in a straight way.  Nor was he a person of many words. Therefore, I think there was much to him that was not visible from the outside.
One example of this is how much he loved my own band, how much he supported us from behind the scenes… That’s just one thing.
Shishô always thought of the band to keep it united; towards the staff and me, who stuck by their side, he always showed an incredible amount of care.
Honestly, when I think about it again, there are a lot of episodes that gradually melt my heart.
And so, it is my wish to tell you stories that have not been talked much so far.
With that in mind, I want to keep writing.
Chapter 1, Part 1 & 2

That time hide, Heath and Akemi Oshima went to a gay club in 1992 (SHOXX 1999/6 translation excerpt)
[T/N] context: In 1992, Akemi, Heath, hide (and presumably some unnamed friends) were hanging out around The Limelight nightclub in New York.
At that time, the only thing in that place was the remodeled church building. It had a lot of small rooms, so hide, brimming with curiosity, was like "Wow, what's over there!?" and immediately wandered off somewhere. I don’t remember what day of the week it was exactly, but the number of people was tremendous and despite us trying not to get lost in the crowd, it was really frantic…
Having been there before, I seemed to recall another building connected to that one, with a smaller club called “Shampoo”. Everyone was like, “Alright, then let’s go check it out!” and so we began to roam around restlessly in search of the entrance. Instead of us going dancing, it turned into a little expedition of sorts (laughs).
We wandered about for some time, getting lost here and there, until finally we discovered the entrance to “Shampoo”. However, as we went inside, we realised it was a perfectly gay club! What’s more, it was a 4-store building, and with each consecutive floor, the density of gayness increased. On the first floor you could still sporadically spot some girls and the gay couples were keeping it tame. But throughout floors 2 and 3, the aura of obscurity gradually thickened. At some point on the third floor we got a little scared, so we were like “Hey, hide-chan. Let’s stop here”. But he was like “Nope, we’re making it to the top no matter what!”, and contrary to our pleas, he started moving forward even faster than before. 
Just as expected, the condition of the 4th floor was terrible. There were only men; half-naked shredded men exposing bare muscles, men wearing skin-tight leather bodysuits with countless studs, anyway, with just one glance you knew for certain that they were all a part of that world. Even so, hide was completely unbothered by it all, he swiftly made his way to the counter and ordered a beer. It was difficult to be there for our girl gang, but as for Heath, who was clad in black enamel, he must’ve been taken for a man of the same tastes, because everywhere he went, he attracted inviting voices (and hands), it was quite a scene. 
After leaving the establishment, we confirmed that, save for hide, every single man, with no exception, had been approached by someone in the club. Hearing that, hide made a puzzled expression. “Why am I the only one who didn’t get hit oooon?” He made a confused face, but apparently there was no one in that club brave enough to approach him as he sat there calmly sipping his beer, staring intensely and scrutinizing the men around him.
"Oh, it makes sense”, we all agreed in unison, but hide alone kept questioning it till the end, tilting his head to the side in confusion: “But why?” (laughs)

Last week (May 11th) I went to “hide SPIRITS 2024 in Taiwan”, a hide memorial event organized by Taiwanese fans.
There were about 200 people in total. The event included an exhibition of hide's guitars, a huge display of hide's collectibles, and a special band performance. I even got my first guitar pick!
Although hide passed away 26 years ago, there are still so many people who love him, and I'm sure hide would be happy to know that ❤️💛❤️💛❤️
