facts
26. - When performing Shallow Sleep (English) during his Taiwan concert, Hyde messed up the lyrics and instead of singing "without you here," he sang "you disappeared." He admits to often forgetting his own lyrics. :P27. - Anemone was performed once during Shibuya Seven Days 2003. Before singing the song, Hyde said "To my love... Anemone." Supposedly, Hyde wrote the song for his wife. Honestly, this theory makes sense, since it was released right around 2000, when Hyde got married. And the lyrics sound very... marriage-y, with lines such as "Ah my wish is but one, to entrust my eternal vow to those hands."
28. - Hyde's best advice for how to keep your voice in tact - "No sex before a live." XD
26. - Hyde's second solo album is entitled 666, not as in the devil's number, but rather when pronounced in Japanese ("roku roku roku"), it sounds like "rock rock rock."
29. - Hyde thought of Smile's album name.
30. - According to a 2004 interview, Hyde's regular sleeping schedule is going to sleep at 4-5 AM, and waking up around 1 PM. (Sounds like me on weekends XD)
31. - Hyde designed the artwork for the Killing Me single, released in January 2005.
32. - Hyde claims to be a "lifetime dancer." He's also taken breakdancing lessons once a week for two years (and yet he still dances so girlie *cough*StayAwayGirlyHipShake*cough*)
33. - In a 1996 interview, Hyde described his methods of relieving stress: playing video games or hugging a girl. (awwww)
34. - Supposedly, the reason Hyde doesn't reveal his blood type (on the official site or wherever) is because he's inhuman and has black blood. Yeah, suuuuuure, Hyde XD
35. - Hyde's essential things he must carry whenever going outside: wallet, cellphone, and cigarettes. He says if he ever forgot his cigarettes when leaving his house, he would "die on the streets."
36. - Hyde can barely swim. When he went to Hawaii for vacation, he had his manager send him a fax teaching him how to swim XD
37. - Hyde only wrote the chorus of New World, but he still gets partial credit for composing the song.
38. - Hyde believed in Santa Claus until he was in 9th grade.
39. - During the filming of the Jyojyoushi PV, when Hyde exited his dressing room and went onto the scene, he was shocked and slightly embarassed seeing so many naked men and women all around him. So, he says, if you notice in the PV his eyes are often downcast XD
40. - Two of the songs on the Awake album, Ophelia and My Dear, were originally intended for Hyde's first solo album Roentgen. Of course, they were slightly changed afterwards for the Awake album.
41. - Hyde says the main feeling he had in mind when composing the music and lyrics for Awake was unconditional/unexplainable love, rather than just a lover's kind of love. He also says the entire album's focus is love and peace.
42. - Hyde is very close friends with the vocalist of Monoral, Anis. Anis did the English speaking (rap?) during Masquerade, one of the songs on Hyde's 666 album.

45. - Hyde considers "Twinkle, Twinkle" (off the Awake album) a challenging/difficult song to sing.
46. - Hyde cried when watching the Fullmetal Alchemist movie (which, by the way, L'Arc~en~Ciel did the opening and ending themes for)
47. - Hyde says he thinks of women as flowers, which would (partially) explain why the covers of his Roentgen singles are all of flowers and would also further explain how the song Anemone (a flower) is dedicated to his wife.
48. - When they were dating, Hyde and Megumi (now his wife) had matching Nekojiru cell phone charms.
49. - Hyde said he's never loved anyone enough to die for them / commit suicide because they're gone. (This was said during a Kagen no Tsuki interview)
50. - Hyde said if he was an animal, he would be a red panda. As for his opinion on the other members, he thinks Ken would be a dog, Yukki would be an elephant, and Tetsu would be a cat.
