He and his original band (L'arc en ciel) is absolute legend. Fyi, i love The Beatles, Radiohead, Nirvana, Avenged Sevenfold, MCR, Linkin Park, Cold Play, Jamiraquai, Eminem, Dream Theater, RATM, SOD, Korn, etc. And I could assure you, L'arc en ciel is one of the greatest band in the world (my top 3). Listening to their music is really a colourful journey.
Japan has always been underrated when it came to rock imo, as someone who has been listening to jrock for 10+ years. Glad it’s becoming more popular around the world!
people saying this is too old of a sound to work nowadays and I'm here thinking "FINALLY!!! some good stuff coming back! I can't handle the new age sound..." apparently I never got older from my preteen/teenager's tastes I don't care if it's "old" its good , and I love it! keep up the great work Hyde-san , and Hyde-san's team!!
I figured more americans would already know of LeC from their teenage anime days but I'm glad more people are discovering Hyde because he's honestly underrated! He reminds me a bit of Foo Fighters and Bullet for My Valentine or MCR meets Fall Out Boy. Abroad in Japan doing good work to rake in the next generation.
Recently started watching anime. Love the soundtracks. So, just discovered Hyde. I love his style. I agree. He sounds more like Bullet for my Valentine
I think he can feel proud of how his english has improve, if you hear his first album or first interviews in english, it was kinda terrible. So I think it's very cool he was able to work on it and improve that much.
Yeah dude! Apparently it used to take him 6 hours to sing English songs and get the accent down. Now it’s 2-3 hours. Definitely some hard work and improvement!
“WHO’S GONNA SAVE US” Lyrics : Broken hearts and battle scars From the shadows, here we are Fallen angels in disguise Waiting for the right time We've got our backs against the wall We'll stand our ground and we won't fall Fighting to be who we are Waiting on the front lines Hands up It's going down Let me hear you say it Right now It's going down If we lose it all tonight Who's gonna save us, tonight Who's gonna save us [Woh] Who’s gonna save us Broken promises and lies There will be no compromise Long as we are side by side We won't be defeated This is it, our time is now Rising up and screaming out If we can't bend the laws they make Then we will have to break them Hands up It's going down Let me hear you say it Right now It's going down If we lose it all tonight Who's gonna save us, tonight Who's gonna save us [Woh] Who’s gonna save us And on the darkest night Before the break of light If we don't stand and fight Who's gonna save us
Hyde se luce cada vez con las lyrics de sus canciones; en el estilo que elija, da un placer enorme seguirlo. ¡Gracias por darte el tiempo de subir la letra! 😊

And thats how I felt when I just now got stuck on Gackt as well! Glad to know I am not the only one that feels like this! I felt like: WHATA HECK WHY DIDNT i become a fan much much earlier I mean!! Gackt is amazing as well and Yeah so is HYDE he has amazing music and you gotta love his voice
Who's gonna save us is the first single as Hyde solo project after a long period with VAMPS. Something I appreciate of him is the fact he always tries to reinvent himself, and comparing to his other solo works you can notice his search for a new sound and new ways of making music. As an overseas fan, even though I love his Japanese songs, I also appreciate his attempt to approach a different music market writing English lyrics. Keep it up Hyde! :D
I found hyde by accident looking for jpop I love some of his work I have not got to listen to everything but what I've heard I love so to HYDE LOVE FROM TEXAS
I have a been a fan of Hyde since his old days on L'arc en ciel in end of 90's , but i came here because " Abroad in Japan ", thanks Chris to remind me of the legendary man and historical figure that inspired many young Japanese J- Rock star that we know today.
Mighty Hadi same! I somehow lost touch when Hyde goes into other projects like Vamps and the music is a little too heavy for my taste. (Although there are some really nice ones like Vampire’s Love) Thanks to Chris I am back to revisit some of my favorite songs of Hyde and his new solo album
Hyde is truly inspirational. I love his music and I love how he is. The world has only seen a snippet of what Hyde can really do. Now it is the time for him to rise and share his music. Keep up the good work Hyde! #Hyde #World #RiseAboveTheWorld
I watched the documentary from Abroad in Japan because of Hyde. I was already a subscriber to Abroad in Japan but I don't watch every video on the channel. If you liked Hyde from the documentary be sure to check out VAMPS and L'Arc-en-Ciel!
It makes me feel troubled, worried and somehow unsafe... But happily there is HYDE out there and he’ll save me from this. No HYDE, no life. It’s true! #HYDE
When I listen to this song it makes me think we should stand up for what we believe and not give up. HYDE expressed his thoughts into an incredible song. The lyrics are so powerful. It has become one of my favorites. No HYDE, No Life. #HYDE
Before discovering Hyde on the Abroad in Japan video with Chris Broad, I was already listening to such Japanesee artists as World Order, GARNiDELiA, Dako, the Yoshida Brothers, and Tatsuro Yamashita. But when Chris announced his video, " I Spent a Week with Japan's Biggest Rock Star, " I knew that I just had to watch it. I've been following Chris' CZcams channels since September of 2018 and I really enjoy his work. But this video was moe than I was expecting. It completely blew my mind away. I was surprised when Chris mentioned that he was the only Japanese artist to preform at Madison Square Garden. As the video progressed, I got a sense that Hyde was this great man who loves what he does and the fans that support him. He seems to be a really down to earth person as well with his interview with Chris. His music is what really got to me in this video. I've been listening to Japanese music since the early to mid 1990s from the Anime that I watch, but over the past two years I've grown to like current and past artists. For me, Hyde represents a sound that I hadn't discovered until this video. For me, Hyde has a Heavy Metal feel to his music and that's a sound that's been a part of my life since the late 1970s when I discovered such bands as AC/DC and Black Sabbath. I follow Hyde on Facebook, Twitter and CZcams. It's really hard to pinpoint a song that I like more than another. To me they're all great. I must confess that while listening to Hyde on CZcams, a recommendation for another group appeared on CZcams for me and I had to give them a listen to as well. That group is Band-Maid. But that's a story for another time. LOL.
Well abroad in Japan Got me here
Same
Same, I do not regret it though, I love his style. I'm a big fan of One Ok Rock and My First Story too
EXDan THE Otaku same m8
Yup
same LUL. no regrets tho, this guy is good
My god if he could have released this in America in early 2000 he would be a god here too
Totally miss the sounds of that era
Dude. Legit.
Agreed, it’s never too late though! I think rock is making a comeback these days.
HYDE's music has a unique sound that can become endearing 💖✨
L arc n ciel and hyde fans indonesia
I can't believe I've never heard of this guy. He is so damn good. I can't believe he's 50.
Japan has some hidden gems.
He and his original band (L'arc en ciel) is absolute legend.
Fyi, i love The Beatles, Radiohead, Nirvana, Avenged Sevenfold, MCR, Linkin Park, Cold Play, Jamiraquai, Eminem, Dream Theater, RATM, SOD, Korn, etc.
And I could assure you, L'arc en ciel is one of the greatest band in the world (my top 3).
Listening to their music is really a colourful journey.
You have to listen to his music when he was in Lar en Ciel. I've been listening to them for years. He's also as anther band called Vamps.
Retz he is FANTASTIC !!! #Hyde
Japan has always been underrated when it came to rock imo, as someone who has been listening to jrock for 10+ years. Glad it’s becoming more popular around the world!
Thats what I was saying! I just found him and damn she changed my life💜 he does look damn good for 51😍
Thank You Mr. Chris Broad (Abroad In Japan) for introducing me to music and a true gentleman artist, who I would have never discovered on my own.
everyone say thank you Chris
Don't forget to check out HYDE's former band VAMPS too - that's a really great band! =D
L arc n ciel fans and hyde lover indonesia
If you liked Hyde from the documentary be sure to check out VAMPS and L'Arc-en-Ciel!
He is lead vocalist of L'Arc-en-ciel (Legendary band of Japan) and Vamps too,
何が残念って、最後オススメ動画が出てくるから最後のかっこいいシーンが見えないってこと
Hyde and Jared Letto share the secret of inmortality
Sun haha, I agree!
It's called plastic surgery and eating well
Add Gackt into that group. He rode the fact that there was a rumour that he was a vampire...
Yoshiki still refers to himself as a vampire from time to time as well.
It called plastic surgery.
people saying this is too old of a sound to work nowadays
and I'm here thinking "FINALLY!!! some good stuff coming back! I can't handle the new age sound..."
apparently I never got older from my preteen/teenager's tastes
I don't care if it's "old" its good , and I love it!
keep up the great work Hyde-san , and Hyde-san's team!!
I saw him live, touring with Starset last year late October. He had quite a few fans that were younger, so Hyde's style definitely works!
Seriously, I’m so glad that I can feel nostalgic with his music! As someone who grew up listening to 90-00’s hard and alternative rock (:
Right! Its awesome I absolutely love it. Cant wait for his new music💜
I completely agree with you. I love his music and he continues to amaze me each time.
I totally agree!! I love this vibe!
I accidentally came across this dude because i was searching up “hype” the vape and this popped up ay il not complaining tho haha🤘🏽🔥
Is he the guy who sang "Red swan" from Attack on Titan man he is wholesome
Yes he is
I figured more americans would already know of LeC from their teenage anime days but I'm glad more people are discovering Hyde because he's honestly underrated! He reminds me a bit of Foo Fighters and Bullet for My Valentine or MCR meets Fall Out Boy.
Abroad in Japan doing good work to rake in the next generation.
Agree
I love his style!
I think that too, Hyde's music Is so damn good!!!
Recently started watching anime. Love the soundtracks. So, just discovered Hyde. I love his style. I agree. He sounds more like Bullet for my Valentine
More of a my chemical romance sound to me.
あんな綺麗な裏声出せんのに張り上げも綺麗とか反則だろ
なまで歌ったら結構ひどいですよ
いつか、ハイドさんに合うまで、生きるぞ!!絶対に!!
今も変わり続けるhydeに勇気づけられている。DUNEやTierraもヘヴィロテするぐらい好きだが、今の曲も最高だ。俺はそういうhydeが好きだ。心から尊敬する。曲も最高だが、生き様がカッコいいよ。
I agree with you.
After Chris's video, Idk why but I keep imagining it being Natsuki when the murderer takes his mask off
Dariom Justice delicious
=D =D =D
Lol 😂😂😂
Dariom haha!
Omg lol
私はHYDEに会えて歌楽しさを教えてくれたのと苦しい時も死にたいぐらいの時もHYDE歌声で助けられてきたから、いじめられた時もHYDEお陰強くなれたし、本当にHYDE独自世界観が大好きです
His English is perfect 👌🏻
given how hard is for the japanese people to pronounce certain words in english do to their language yes it is.
I'm from England and I can't see anything wrong with it either, and he doesn't have a strong accent when he speaks English either! 😊
I think he can feel proud of how his english has improve, if you hear his first album or first interviews in english, it was kinda terrible. So I think it's very cool he was able to work on it and improve that much.
Tracey Buckley he has so many other songs !!! He’s amazing !!!
Yeah dude! Apparently it used to take him 6 hours to sing English songs and get the accent down. Now it’s 2-3 hours. Definitely some hard work and improvement!
良いワインのように、あなたは長年にわたって良くなります ❤️
HYDEのロングトーンの高音聴いてると涙がでてくるんだけど同じ人いないかな。
感動して心から出す涙じゃなくて、脳に響いて直接出てくる涙みたいなやつ。
電子音とかでも出るときあるんだけど・・・
ありますよ。電子音もヤバいです！

“WHO’S GONNA SAVE US” Lyrics :
Broken hearts and battle scars From the shadows, here we are
Fallen angels in disguise Waiting for the right time
We've got our backs against the wall
We'll stand our ground and we won't fall
Fighting to be who we are Waiting on the front lines
Hands up It's going down Let me hear you say it
Right now It's going down If we lose it all tonight
Who's gonna save us, tonight Who's gonna save us
[Woh] Who’s gonna save us
Broken promises and lies There will be no compromise
Long as we are side by side We won't be defeated
This is it, our time is now Rising up and screaming out
If we can't bend the laws they make
Then we will have to break them
Hands up It's going down Let me hear you say it
Right now It's going down If we lose it all tonight
Who's gonna save us, tonight Who's gonna save us
[Woh] Who’s gonna save us
And on the darkest night Before the break of light
If we don't stand and fight Who's gonna save us
David Rojas thanks
you're welcome! :D
Hyde se luce cada vez con las lyrics de sus canciones; en el estilo que elija, da un placer enorme seguirlo. ¡Gracias por darte el tiempo de subir la letra! 😊
thank you so much ♥
David Rojas Chester Bennington se reencarno en #hyde x el gran parecido vocal q el cantautor japonés tiene con el fallecido vocalista d #linkinpark.
Broken hearts and battle scars
From the shadows, here we are
Fallen angels in disguise
Waiting for the right time
We've got our backs against the wall
We'll stand our ground and we won't fall

Hands up
It's going down
Let me hear you say it
Right now
It's going down
If we lose it all tonight
Who's gonna save us, tonight
Who's gonna save us
(Whoa oh whoa oh) who's gonna save us
(Whoa oh whoa oh) who's gonna save us
Broken promises and lies
There will be no compromise
Long as we are side by side
We won't be defeated
This is it, our time is now
Rising up and screaming out
If we can't bend the laws they make
Then we will have to break them
Hands up

(Whoa oh whoa oh)
And on the darkest night
Before the break of light
If we don't stand and fight
Who's gonna save us
So many of y'all Americans be sleeping on Hyde, this man is a supersonic superstar from 90s Japan!
お年玉でラルクのLIVEのVHS、クリップ集を買って擦り切れるまで観たり、コレクションカードを箱買いして母とキャッキャした思い出。ラルクもHYDEも心から大好きです。
メロディは聴いていて気持ち良い、世界観もはっきりしていて良い、シャウトもカッコ良い、vampsとはまた違った顔で、hydeとしての顔がよく分かって良い
なぜ？この方はこんなに美しいの？🦄私が認知したのは２０年前だと思うのですが、きれい。神ここに。🫶🎀
I can't believe I didn't know about him until now??!!! COME TO EUROPE YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
He was already
And thats how I felt when I just now got stuck on Gackt as well! Glad to know I am not the only one that feels like this! I felt like: WHATA HECK WHY DIDNT i become a fan much much earlier I mean!! Gackt is amazing as well and Yeah so is HYDE he has amazing music and you gotta love his voice
配信ありがとうございます。あ、ユニバーサルミュージック所属のファーストソロシングルだ。ホラー映画のシャイニングとミザリーのイメージが曲調と良いフィーリングとニュアンスが醸し出してます。
HYDEさんまぢでかっこいい...。
存在も歌ってる姿も
HYDEさんの高音やばい。
ＰＶを観た時の衝撃！！ 必死で闇に飲み込まれないようにしているhydeさん。鏡を割る瞬間、そして最後に振り返るところがヤバいです！！まさにホラーでした😱😱😱
HYDEさんかっこいい。
斧🪓でドアをガンガンやりたい😆
HYDE様❤️🔥
どうしてそんなに格好いいのですか😆❤️
Wow Hyde's English has become so fluent!!! 😱Welcome back! ❤
I was just thinking, can we take a moment and bask in his improvement in English! Truly talented
Yeah. He really improved.
Now, if only his english in his previous songs was at this level. I won't need to look for lyrics anymore.
@@Nuk335 yay,, we won't need to look for lyrics anymore,,
Smells like one ok rock
Where can I find more of his stuff? Going to a concert in the near future and would like to know what I'm in for
シャイニングのオマージュがいい！
Happy Birthday Hyde! 28.01.2024!

生で聴いたけどサビの高音すげぇーってなるねこれは。
またライブいきたいです。
そーとーかっこいい！！
もーHYDE様は神様ですな！！
この世にHYDE様以上のイケメンはいませんな！！
神様、仏様、HYDE様〜〜！！
this guy getting so much exposure out of Abroad in Japan. not a bad thing!
Who's gonna save us is the first single as Hyde solo project after a long period with VAMPS.
Something I appreciate of him is the fact he always tries to reinvent himself, and comparing to his other solo works you can notice his search for a new sound and new ways of making music.
As an overseas fan, even though I love his Japanese songs, I also appreciate his attempt to approach a different music market writing English lyrics.
Keep it up Hyde! :D
It's amazing how you've worked on your solo project rn the particular I love
HYDEさんの心から発せられているような声と歌い方が この曲ととてもマッチしています🎵✨
最後の諦めたような顔のHYDEさんも、仕留めたあとのHYDEさんも とても素敵です🌹💖
まじでかっこいいな・・・なんだこれ。
I found hyde by accident looking for jpop I love some of his work I have not got to listen to everything but what I've heard I love so to HYDE LOVE FROM TEXAS
改めて。イチに戻って(ゼロになって)聴いてた、無ですよ無状態で
そしたら、やっぱり好きだった。ふーずごな。ほんと至極最高✨なんだけど。
完成され(て)た神曲だた。音ヤバいでそ。(パイプオルガン並みの迫力？響きが、たまらんっ)
HYDEさんのvoiceが💗 完璧過ぎなのは云うまでもω(それ愚問な😁)
これ始めて聴いた⚡🔥衝撃 (リピとまらんかった けど、)

I have a been a fan of Hyde since his old days on L'arc en ciel in end of 90's , but i came here because " Abroad in Japan ", thanks Chris to remind me of the legendary man and historical figure that inspired many young Japanese J- Rock star that we know today.
Mighty Hadi same! I somehow lost touch when Hyde goes into other projects like Vamps and the music is a little too heavy for my taste. (Although there are some really nice ones like Vampire’s Love) Thanks to Chris I am back to revisit some of my favorite songs of Hyde and his new solo album
HYDE is a great singer, he is slowly forging his legend with his music. It is refreshing to hear your music, something new and unique
Yeah his music is great.
This dude's a Japanese Milli Vanilli
Abroad in Japan brought me here and I’m very happy he did
Have you listened more Hyde' songs?
Same! I haven't discovered new music that I actually like in what feels like forever, but the ANTI album is just too good to turn off tbh :D
Thank you, thank you for posting this! From a 65 year old woman!
めちゃくちゃ進化してる。
正直、VAMPSより、こっちかな。
This MV seems inspired by the movie Shining!
チャンネルまで作るってことはHYDEさん本格始動なんやね!!
