Notes

"Jarring Voice" is Hide's first and only truly solo effort outside of Buck-Tick. This is also Hide's first time as lead vocalist.

Listen to Jarring Voice.

"Jarring Voice" was the first time that Kazutoshi Yokoyama became involved with a member of Buck-Tick. He has been regularly contributing keyboards, electronics, and noise elements for Buck-Tick since Koroshi No Shirabe (1992).

In 2004, when all of the members except Hide were doing side projects, the fanclub did offer Hide merchandise under the brand name "Six One Six", which stands for June 16, Hide's birthday. The merchandise sold was: t-shirt1, t-shirt2, t-shirt3, t-shirt4, t-shirt5, t-shirt6.

In 2007, Hide had a side project called Dropz so please see their page for details.

In 2016, Hide wrote the music for an Empathy commercial. I believe he said that his friend is the owner or someone high up in the company and that's how he ended up writing music for a commercial. The song was not made available for sale and what was aired in the commercial is an instrumental.
