A look back at the life and career of Japanese guitarist hide, who died under questionable circumstances in 1998.
X Japan's very last live concert on December 31, 1997 at Tokyo Dome. The show was important in two ways, since it marked the end of a band but it became the starting point for some outstanding solo careers.
ATTITUDE is the directorial debut of Dynamite Tommy (COLOR), once hailed alongside X as a pillar of Japan’s rock underground—“X in the East, COLOR in the West.” Released in 2008, the film features a wide-ranging cast of musicians including TAIJI (X), PATA (X JAPAN), and members of Moon Child, Ladies Room, By-Sexual, A.R.B., G.D.FLICKERS, Kamaitachi, ANGIE, Animetal, NEW ROTE'KA, Anarchy, and The Stalin. Blending elements of tribute and documentation, ATTITUDE explores the roots and spirit of Japan’s rock scene. The home release also includes bonus content such as live performances and behind-the-scenes footage.
The live concert movie centers around the last day at Yokohama Arena during his first tour "HIDE OUR PSYCHOMMUNITY - Hide no Heya e Yokoso". Hide's ideas and stage gimmicks were constantly changing and developing even during concert tours. Another surprise about this video is that in 1993, Hide already foresaw that there was going to be a hardware that allows viewers to enjoy films in multi-angle mode, and because of that idea, the clip for "Doubt" was filmed in multi-angle mode. That film footage was shelved till now that finally DVD carries that feature.
