hide Memorial: Comment from ANGEL-TAKA

This May 2nd marked the tenth year since hide passed away. JaME put together a special hide memorial theme in his honor and obtained comments from several musicians and industry professionals concerning the famous and ever-inspiring guitarist.

Also ANGEL-TAKA from NOIZ contributed, but was unable to meet the deadline, so here are his comments about hide and how the extraordinary musician inspired him to be an artist.

Ten years have passed since hide’s death. His music never seems to get old, it keeps sending his messages even now, ten years later.
I’m aiming to be a vocalist like hide, who is loved forever, and whose music still plays in people’s minds.
His sheer existence is huge. I believe he is shining in many people’s minds even now.
