Hideto Takarai ???
i was surfing for Lee Hom's latest news on the net a few days ago, and suddenly came across a movie entitled "Moon_Child" in which Lee Hom was one of the casts long time ago. so, i did further research and watched the movie in YouTube.
guess what, i came upon admiring Kei, a vampire played by Hyde (in white shirt). then, googled on Hyde, listen to his songs and browse for his photos. and right now, i am madly in love with him. hahaha... i know very well that i am already over 20 years of age and should have had enough with J-idol phenomenas, but still, i go ga-ga all over him. haiyoo...
going on, i look out for his biography but with only a few success. thanks to Wikipedia and his hard die fans, i got to learn a bit of something about him.
Hyde (Pronounced in Japanese: Hai-do, or in English as "Hide", born on January 29, 1969, in Wakayama, Japan) is the singer for the Japanese rock band L'Arc~en~Ciel.
Since Hyde keeps his personal information secret, much about him is either unknown or unofficial (including his real name, which is rumored to be Hideto Takarai, and his birth date). He is the only child in his family. His parents owned a pub with a karaoke box and were married very young.
He joined L'Arc~en~Ciel in 1991 after leaving another band called Jerusalem's Rod where he was the guitarist.In addition to being the lead singer and main lyricist of L'Arc~en~Ciel, Hyde has solo projects, as well as his own record label under Sony Japan called Haunted Records.
On December 25, 2000 Hyde married model Megumi Oishi. He had stated that he had always admired Oishi and that she has a beautiful face. Hyde was introduced to Oishi on Utaban after a performance of DIVE TO BLUE. They have one child, who was recently revealed by Oishi to be a boy. His name has not been released. i am speechless. but, good for him anyway. having a happy family and successful careers.
Hyde released his first solo album, Roentgen, on March 27, 2002. An overseas edition featuring English lyrics was released in July of the same year. After the expressive, artistic ballads of Roentgen, Hyde's next two singles, "Hello" and "Horizon," released June and November of 2003 respectively, returned to his rock roots.
His second solo album, 666, was released on December 3, 2003. It provided a dramatic contrast to Roentgen and the two albums became viewed as counterparts. Hyde's song "Shining Over You" from his 666 album was used as the commercial song for Namco's Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean.
In 2003, Hyde starred alongside Gackt in the Japanese film Moon Child. In a duet as part of the project, Hyde and Gackt sang "Orenji no taiyou". The song was also released on Gackt's fourth full-length album, Crescent.
In 2004, Hyde took on the role of the guitarist Adam in the movie Kagen no tsuki /下弦の月 (Last Quarter), a movie based on the popular manga by Ai Yazawa. The movie's theme song, "The Cape of Storms", came from Roentgen.
yup, he had only stared in two movies so far. both are sad stories.
After a three-year hiatus, L'Arc~en~Ciel astonished their fans with a series of seven concerts titled "Shibuya Seven Days" in June and July 2003. At the conclusion, they announced a new album, Smile, which was released in March, 2004.
In the summer of 2005, Hyde composed the music for the song "Glamorous Sky." The song was used in the movie Nana, another film based on a popular manga by Ai Yazawa. The song was sung by fellow Japanese artist Mika Nakashima and the lyrics were written by Ai Yazawa. In August, Hyde and his solo band performed the song on Music Station with Mika Nakashima, Hyde being on guitar. Starting in January 2006, Hyde's single "Season's Call" was used as the second opening theme to the anime show Blood+. This single was released on February 2, 2006. Hyde's album, Faith, was released on April 26th, 2006.
Faith was accompanied by a five-month tour with many locations in Japan, some exclusively open to members of his fanclub. After signing on with Tofu Records as a solo artist, a US debut concert was scheduled as part of the Faith tour, which was held at Slim's in San Francisco, California on July 5, 2006. Tickets for the event went on sale online at 1 p.m. EST on April 2, 2006 and sold out in an astonishing three minutes. The second round of sales was held April 9, also online, and also sold out quickly. Soon afterward, rumors began circulating in the fan community of a second concert, to be held at House of Blues in Anaheim, California, on July 2. The rumors remained unconfirmed for a week before the event was announced officially. Like the San Francisco venue, the second concert also sold out, as did two more US concerts (the Fillmore, San Francisco and House of Blues, Hollywood).
The overseas version of Faith was released on June 27, 2006 and included a bonus DVD featuring music videos for both "Countdown" and "Season's Call". In Faith, Hyde uses a Fender Mustang as his main guitar, this is known for Kurt Cobain influences to Hyde's career; contrary to 666 album version- Hyde uses Gretsch guitars. Hyde also made a brief appearance at the Tofu Records booth at Anime Expo 2006 in Anaheim, California on July 1 for a question and answer panel. Following the completion of the FAITH tour, a DVD of the concerts was announced and was released November 8th, 2006.
HYDE is currently back with L'Arc~en~Ciel which on 31st May 2007 released their first single in two years, Seventh Heaven.
2008, HYDEIST, Hyde's official website announced that Hyde would be having a live tour around certain parts of Japan, which included Sendai, Sapporo and Fukuoka, starting from 1st August to 25th October. The announcement sparked off rumours of Hyde releasing a new solo album, but that has yet to be confirmed.
so, he had launched 6 solo albums so far. i love the song evergreen, hello, countdown, a drop of colour, orenji no taiyou, angels's tale, shallow sleep, season's call, the cape of storms, hideaway, glamorous sky, and i could go on and on. you may listen to his tracks in my friendster profile.
and i noticed something about him, he looks like a different person in every pictures. sometime boyish, sometime charming, but always good looking. some people jokingly said hyde and gackt are actually vampires because they do not seems to age with time.
hyde is colour blind, so he could not become a cartoonist that he originally wanted. nevertheless, i still adore him. besides, he has a big appetite and always tries the local cuisine of the countries he travels to.
Good job with hyde's bio ^^
I love his music too both in L'Arc en Ciel and his solo work.
If you havent payed much attention to L'Aruku i sugest you listen to Ark and Heart.
thanks for dropping by. i like Laruku as well since they are a great jrock band. especially hyde as their main lyricist. my favourite so far are drink it down, niji, link, honey, my heart draw a dream, the fourth avenue cafe, driver's high, ready steady go, pretty girl and new world. hurry christmas sounds quite different from their other songs but i still enjoy it. =]
i will be looking into more of their songs. thanks for your suggestions.
Hey, if anyone who reads this goes to animeforum.com/chat.php, there is someone there who sais their name is Andie, but pretends to be Hyde. xD If you love Hyde and hate impersonators, go ther and ask around for Andrew Diskenth. Or look him up on myspace at myspace.com/tylerxandie he has Hyde's pictures, says they are of him, and claims to be 100% Gay. Help me exploit him for the fake he is, and stop him from befouling Hyde's name!
i love Hyde. i think he's so beautiful..i think he's over rated. everyone talks about how great he is, but i think Hyde's 50 times better than Gackt.
first of all, thanks for reading my blog and leaving some comments here. i appreciate all of it.
concerning fake news, wild gossips, and nonsense rumours on hyde or gackt out there; as a true fan we must know the truth about them. there is no need to get over reacted on every single little things. i like both hyde and gackt for their wonderful vocals, talented songs composing plus meaningful and heart warming lyrics.
to be exact, i am not the type that merely fantasizing on my favourite celebrities, but trying to accept them as real human beings who always have extraordinary talents, good values, as well as some mortal weaknesses. let us be more realistic. we are all alive human beings. not some soulless dolls. however, this is just how i fancy over something. you may not agree and it is okay. have respect for each other, means no harm to anyone and the world will be a better place to live in. (^.^)
to those fakers: shame on you. having fun on indulging in other people name and fame is only for lowlifes. bullshits may you get by a little bit but not for far and definitely not forever. bare that in your faker mind.
as it is always said, it take two hands to clap.
and to those who easily believe in bulls and shits: shame on you too. how could you call yourselves a fan if you are so easily duped by those fakers. where is your pride as a fan?
here is a piece of advice. when you like something, do it sincerely but not blindly. get to know it more, understand it better, and then only will you truly appreciate it. there is always two sides of a story.
Kristine Stewart was included in WWD Lifestyle feature called Girls of Fall: Autumn’s Crop of Enchanting Entertainers, where she was quoted that she didnt think Twilight would be this big.
“I sort of figured it would always stay like a cult movie, because Catherine Hardwicke directs good indies. It seemed like it would be not that big of a deal. It has turned out to be the opposite.”
She also talked about becoming an actor and on why she has put college/university on hold for the moment. Click on the link to read the whole article.

Film School Rejects has listed Twilight as oen of its 10 Remaining Must See Movies of 2008. Here is what they have to say about Twilight:
Yeah, I know that it’s a teenie-bopper movie. It is all over the programming schedule of MTV and it looks like it could play on The CW, but Twilight is more than just another teen romance, it is becoming a pop culture phenomenon in the same way that Harry Potter did back in the early 2000s. Aside from that, I hear that the book is actually pretty good, no matter who you are. So prepare yourself for the brooding and the vampy sap-story, because you really shouldn’t miss Twilight when it hits theaters.
Also, Stephenie meyer’s books still continues to be in the best seller lists. Though it was bump off the no.1 spot, the Twilight books are still in the Top 10 spots. Here the best seller lists from USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Ebooks.

The Movie Fanatic has an article assessing the acting abilities of Robert Pattinson. Best known for his role as the pretty boy Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films, Robert Pattinson’s career is now heating up as he secured the role of Edward Cullen, Stephenie Meyer’s romantic vampire lead. But aside from his beautiful face, Robert also packs a punch of a talent that can be seen in his other films such as How to Be and the upcoming Little Ashes. Here is some what TMF has to say about Robert:
Best role: Art in How To Be. What sort of criteria do I use to rate an actor? I guess it has to do with his ability to enter a character and be credible while portraying that character.
In Oliver Irving’s How To Be, Robert plays Art, a young guy who is simply clueless on how to survive and live a life independently. If you’re a fan of Robert Pattinson, this is definitely one of his most important roles to date. Many would have to say we only recognize Pattinson in his Harry Potter role, but as you watch this movie, you’ll see a different character emerging. This is not the charming, confident wizard who competes for a prize. This is a young, insecure, often clumsy individual who has nowhere to go, no girlfriend and no real prospect for the future.
I would be a hypocrite if I am not anticipating his role in Twilight. Definitely, his role as Edward Cullen would provide him with more than a leverage when it comes to getting those elusive, powerhouse Hollywood scripts…

Also, in its weekly buzz poll, TMF has listed Robert Pattinson as the 2nd most buzzed about male actor for the week.

The Movie Fanatic has a preview of the fall/winter movies and it has a short preview for Twilight.
Twilight
Bella (Kristen Stewart) is a teenage misfit who falls for a mysterious boy Edward (Robert Pattinson) in school who happens to belong to a lineage of vampires. He fights to protect her from his family, who has come for her.
Why you should care: Hear that deafening fever pitch? That is Twilight mania – and it wont be stopped. Fans will hate the comparison, but Twilight is shaping up to be the next Harry Potter franchise. With hoards of die-hard fans probably already waiting in line, this is all but guaranteed to be one of the biggest money makers of the season with eventual sequels almost a lock.
Why it could suck: With very few exceptions, there hasn’t been a good vampire movie in ages. It’s enormous fan base aside, it will be interesting to see how this movie plays to non-fans. Or if it even matters.
Also, Mike Welch had a short interview with Portrait Magazine where he talked about his Twilight audition and shooting scenes for the film. Here is a preview:
So you’re going to play the part of Mike Newton in Twilight. What was the audition process like?
Well I originally auditioned for Edward, and as I’ve mentioned before, I’m really glad I didn’t get it! I was never quite right for it, mainly because Edward is described as unearthly beauty and that’s not quite a responsibility I want and not one I think I can pull off. But that’s fine you know. I think Robert is the perfect man. So I first auditioned as Edward. Then they had me come back as Eric and I had a lot of fun with it. At this point, I hadn’t read the books so I was just reading what I was given. And finally Mike just seemed to be a perfect fit. The decent, likeable, athletic guy who has a crush on a girl who he doesn’t have an equal shot with. I think that’s someone many people can relate to. In the audition, we had a mix and match session, which is when all the potential people who are up for a role get together in a room and they try to determine which group of people has the best chemistry. I’m glad they kept bringing me back until they found the role for me!
In the mix and match, did you get put with Kristen, Robert etc?
Robert wasn’t there…I did work with Kristen and Justin Chong though. It was really awkward though. It’s strange in that situation when there are about 5 people in the scene and each person has one line and we’re all trying to get the job. It’s just weird. But when I got to work one on one with Kristen, I think that went really well.

Its confirmed. Paramore will be included in the Twilight soundtrack as they will have two songs written for the movie. Last week, frontwoman Hayley Williams blogged that they are hard at work to record some songs for the soundtrack and now, they have two songs to be included in the soundtrack. One to TBA announced song while another is named Decode.
’Twilight’ is the first series of books I’ve ever read. I didn’t get into the ‘Harry Potter’ series, even though I love the movies,” Williams said in a statement. ” ‘Twilight’ really caught my attention and held it. I’m really excited to see the book adapted to film and excited that our band gets to be a part of the phenomenon.”
“I chose the title ‘Decode’ because the song is about the building tension, awkwardness, anger and confusion between Bella and Edward,” she said. “Bella is the only mind Edward can’t read, and I feel like that’s a big part of the first book and one of the obstacles for them to overcome. It’s one added tension that makes the story even better.”
The Twilight soundtrack will be released in November 4 while a video for decode will be released early November.

Robert Pattinson was featured in the October 2008 edition of Interview Magazine. In the magazine, he talked his pre-Potter days (when he was a struggling actor) together with his best friend Tom Sturridge and how he cleaned up his act later.
Alert the tabloids: Harry Potter actor linked to drug house! Twenty-two-year-old Robert Pattinson fondly recalls his time living in a “cool little ex-crack den” in London with best friend Tom Sturridge. He’s joking (we think) about their bad behavior as struggling young actors. “We spent the better part of a year just getting drunk every night,” Pattinson admits. “I don’t know if that counts as ’struggling.’” After the debauchery ended, Pattinson co-starred as Cedric Diggory in two Harry Potter movies. A former child model–he posed professionally from ages 12 to 15 (”when I stopped looking like a girl”)–Pattinson has been dubbed “the next Jude Law” in the British press. “I don’t really see the similarity,” he says. One opportunity to break out comes via next year’s Little Ashes, a Spanish drama in which Pattinson stars as the young Salvador Dali. But first, there’s the vampire thriller Twilight, based on the popular teen books, in which Pattinson plays Edward, a 108-year-old bloodsucker in love with a high school girl. Horror fans are already stalking him. “It’s funny,” Pattinson says, “because teenage girls would say,’ Oh my God, you’re Cedric!’ It switched in a week to ‘Oh, my God, it’s Edward!’ Allegiances change to freely in the teen-girl world.”

Test Pattern - MSNBC has listed Twilight as one of its Must See Fall Movies. In an article by Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, here is what she has to say about Twilight:
Just in case the first two films made me sound like a snooty, pipe-smoking, leather-patches on the elbows type, here’s my guilty pleasure. I’ve read two of Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” novels, about a young woman and her vampire love, and I admit it, I’m hooked. No, they’re not Shakespeare, but how boring would the world be if Shakespeare was all we had? Actors Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson aren’t exactly how I pictured Bella and Edward, but I’m still eager to see their love story play out on screen. I shouldn’t have any trouble getting my husband to stay with Kelly while I see this. It all but screams “chick flick.”

Robert Pattinson and Kellan Lutz dishes out on the new flashback scenes, Midnight Sun and Bella’ s lullaby in a new interview by MTV. Robert dishes out in why they need to shoot some flashback scenes and why they need to reshoot the Bella’s lullaby scene and why his song (which they previously shot) wasn’t used.
We reshot the ‘Bella’s Lullaby’ scene with a different piece of music,” Pattinson explained. “I heard my original one the other day, and I really liked it. I was kind of depressed afterwards, but I like the new one as well. The new one I didn’t write; the composer Carter Burwell did it. The new one fits in with the rest of the score, whereas my one was completely random, so unless you want a five-minute scene of just me playing the piano, I guess it’s kind of irrelevant.”
Kellan also said that he would like for Stephenie Meyer to take her time with Midnight Sun.
“If I was Stephenie Meyer,” Lutz said, “and if I made that book — which is more heartfelt, like a diary in a way — it wouldn’t be out for years. I feel like she created it just for herself, and it’s sad that a part of her has been leaked, if that makes sense.”
He also mentioned that as the actors of the film, they have a little insight to the still unpublished book to help them to get into character.

Robert Pattinson’s star is definitely on the rise as Hollywood and many fans take notice of the talented young Brit. Set to conquer Hollywood this November with the release of the much anticipated Twilight, Robert Pattinson is set to be catapulted to Hollywood leading man status. Here is why The Movie Fanatic thinks so:
Is there anyone else who has captured the adulation of fans than this young Brit has done is so short a time? I don’t think so. Why is that you may ask? While many fans simply ride the wave, and gush over some pretty face with little talent, Pattinson has captured quite a wide range of admirers to say the least. These are not your ordinary young screaming fans. These are the kind of fans that goes to theater to admire actors playing the classics; these are the fans that devour books that’s on the NY Times best seller list. In other words, these are not your ordinary fans. Will that matter in the end? I would have to say so… While fans have no say on who gets to play the leading role and who gets to choose the best scripts, they are the ones who’ll pay the ticket and when they come to watch a movie in droves, that’s when you’ll realize who this Robert Pattinson is. Coming up: Little Ashes, How To Be and Parts Per Billion.
Do you agree with their assessment? To read more, click on the link and you may also vote for your other favorite young actors whom you want to be put on their list.
Also, Robert is also part of the TMF’s list of Young Actors with the Most Anticipated Roles. His vampire character, Edward Cullen, is one of the most anticipated characters to hit the silver screen later this year. Check out the other characters fans cant wait to see by clicking the link.

Cosmo Girl did a photoshoot and an interview with the three boys of Twilight: Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz and Taylor Lautner. The group seemed to be a close bunch as they gamely answered some questions and posed for the cameras. Here is the interview:
Put away the garlic and holy water. These wicked-hot guys may play vampires, but we promise they won’t bite.
It’s 5 p.m and Taylor Lautner is the first to arrive at the Venice, California studio for our CosmoGirl shoot. A few minutes later, his Twilight costar Kellan Lutz walks in. The guys high-five and joke about how Robert Pattinson - their other costar - is always late. By 6:30, I’m getting a little impatient because we’re still waiting for our lead vampire. Finally, Robert tiptoes in, sleepy-eyed and full of apologies, “Sorry, I overslept,” he explains in his sexy British accent.
He’s so charming that my aggravation immediately vanishes. I totally see why Kristen Stewart’s character, Bella, would want to spend an eternity with this guy, vampire or not. As the three actors change into jeans and white shirts, every girl on set finds an excuse to sneak into the dressing room, hoping to get a peek. Then - as if on cue, just around twilight - Rob, Kellan and Taylor emerge. Check out what we chatted about during the shoot.
Q: So how would you describe your three characters?
Rob: [My character] Edward is the conflicted and reluctant vampire. He’s a poet, and very deep and profound. He’s just extraordinarily troubled.
Kellan: Emmett’s the tough guy, the protector, but he’s a big old teddy bear to his little brother. He’s a goofball, but when he snaps, he’s menacing and there’s no stopping him.
Taylor: Well, in the first film, Jacob is a normal high school guy - outgoing, friendly, and loyal. I’m a lot like him in Twilight, but I’m excited to play him in the sequels as his character evolves.Q: Are you at all similar to your characters?
Kellan: Rob is definitely Edward. He’s so complicated, so poetic… I mean, you cannot help but like this guy! I’d say I’m definitely the protector type. I have six brothers and one sister, and I got beaten up a lot because I was in the middle. But then I learned to defend myself.
Rob: Yeah, Kellan protects me all the time. It’s like having a globe around me. Really, he’s like a globe of protection!
Q: Twilight isn’t just a “vampire movie”, it’s a love story. Do you guys like romantic films?
Taylor: I really liked Enchanted. In fact, I’ve seen it five or six times.
Kellan: I like The Notebook, Tristan & Isolde, and Romeo + Juliet. [I enjoy] period pieces that aren’t just about winning the girl but are also about the struggle of class, wealth and privilege.
Q: What about horror movies?
Taylor: My friends just introduced me to how great they can be. I really liked The Hitcher, and Gothika gave me nightmares.
Rob: I don’t like that “hiding behind doors” element when suddenly it’s like “Boo!” I like the more eerie and disturbing horror flicks. One of my favorites is The Exorcist.
Kellan: I love scary movies. I think the pure gore movies are pretty funny. It doesn’t bother me to see someone get their head chopped off.
Q: Twilight’s tagline is: “When you can live forever, what do you live for?” Would you want to live for eternity?
Rob: Uh, yes, I think so, especially if I could turn it on and off. I kind of like the idea that I could see what death is like and then come back again. That sounds good to me. I want to have my cake and eat it too.
Kellan: I can’t wait for the afterlife, to spend eternity wherever it might be. But it would also be cool to live for hundreds of years and get to see how the world turns out. If I could stay 23 years old for 500 years, I’d probably take that deal.
And here’s what each of their captions say:
Rob: I never felt like I was making a ‘vampire movie’, even when we were ripping each other’s heads off.
Taylor: I hadn’t heard o
Kellan: I loved vampires growing up. I dressed up as one for Halloween three years in a row.f the Twilight books before the movie. Now I see girls everywhere reading them. The series is huge!

AOL Moviefone and MSNBC has listed Twilight, the first book in Stephenie Meyer’s hugely popular Twilight Saga, as one of the Most Anticipated Fall Movies of 2008. Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the titular characters of Edward and Bella, the movie will hit US theaters on November 21, 2008.
Also, here is a round-up of news articles regarding the indefinite release of Midnight Sun.
Little Brown, Stephenie’s publishers also released a statement regarding the leaked draft of The MIdnight Sun. Here is what they have to say courtesy of Entertainment Weekly:
A partial draft containing chapters of Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer has been leaked on the Internet without the knowledge or permission of either Stephenie Meyer or Little, Brown. Although these early chapters were never intended to be published in their current form, Stephenie Meyer has decided to authorize the posting of these rough, initial chapters on her website (www.stepheniemeyer.com) in fairness to her true, loyal fans. While no decisions have been made at this time regarding the publication of Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer is currently at work on other writing projects. Little, Brown looks forward to our continued publishing relationship with Stephenie Meyer and, like her many fans, we are eager to experience her next literary creation.”

We have previously reported that Entertainment Weekly has reported that Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke and the cast has been reshooting some scenes. We have also learned from this report that Robert Pattinson will be playing Bella’s lullaby but not his own composition.
Entertainment Weekly now clarifies this one. Though we may not hear Rob’s composition for Bella’s l ullaby, his two songs, initially written and composed before Twilight, will be featured in the film. This was confirmed by none other than Catherine Hardwicke, who said that the songs are very personal.
