Driver's High (CDTV)

This is just a performance of Driver's High taken from one of the concerts of the Grand Cross Tour, but broadcast on CDTV. An awesome tour, honestly; everyone looked so good. If you plan on picking up any concert DVD, pick up Grand Cross Conclusion. This particular performance, however, is not included on that DVD. It's overall a fun lively performance, as expected. The main highlight is watching Hyde touch himself towards the end of the song. Yes, groping his... "karate tool" XD; Just see the screencap for details.

Hello + Unexpected (Rock in Japan Festival)

Hyde's hair is just a POOF here. But his outfit is oh so HOTT, I couldn't care less. The performance of Hello is fun; since it's a live performance (not a TV one), the hott sexy 'making out with the microphone' "mezameta no saa" part is included. Hyde's showing a lot of love for his guitar in this mini concert. After that is the performance of Unexpected. Now, I know you're thinking: "OMG! That song is so BORING T_T" (Shut up, you, I actually like that song xD) But anyway, the highlight of that performance is... Hyde actually really DOES make out with the microphone. I'm not joking; I should make a gif of it or something because DAMN IT IS HOTT. OH YEAH. SUPAH SEXII. Anyway, he extends the ending of Unexpected and plays the guitar for like TEN MINUTES afterwards. And he collapses and looks like he's dying, laying on the floor playing the guitar. But then he gets up again is perfectly fine and sexy all over again. Yeah, it's entertaining xD
Shallow Sleep + The Cape of Storms (Live in Korea)

This is a strange file extension, I know, but it should play fine in BSPlayer, DivX player, and Windows Media Player. Anyway, this is Hyde's performance in KO KO KOREA. OH YEAH, that's right THE LAND OF SE7EN. 1 2 3 4 5 6 SE7EN. He's blonde here, but he actually looks really nice. I like this hair style on him; it's like his 666 style, only... blonde. He sings Shallow Sleep, piano arrangement, and it sounds simply beautiful. He sounds great and he looks so nice and peaceful too. After that is Cape of Storms, where he expresses all the PAIN AND ANGUISH he feels. THE EMOTIONS. And the fangirls go absolutely WILD. Sadly, though, he doesn't speak any Korean to the audience. He just blows a kiss goodbye when he's done.
Evergreen + Shallow Sleep (Live in Taiwan)

I LOVE THIS LIVE. SO MUCH. I once had it on repeat for the entire night XD; The way Hyde sings here is beautiful; I think it's even better than the recorded version, honestly. Besides that, he looks so amazing. That grayish eye color really works on him. And I like the blonde. And whoa, he looks like he has fangs xD I guess because this is around the time of the Moon Child recording. ANYWAY, this is Hyde, live in Taiwan. He speaks a bit of Mandarin; he says something like "How are you?" (in a casual way o_O so I guess like "How YOU doin'?!), "I am Haido," and "I love Taiwan." XD;; But anyway, the way he sings here... I could just melt. He looks so peaceful and gentle, too. It's like he's A GOD. So UNTOUCHABLE and ANGELIC. If you listen closely, you'll hear him screw up a line in Shallow Sleep. But it's barely noticable, and he covers it up well, smiling. (The line = "without you here," Hyde sings "you disappeared" or... vice versa. I forgot XD) Anyway, one of my favorite parts is when Hyde 'rocks out' during the Shallow Sleep guitar solo. Seriously, I think this concert is better than the recorded version of either song.

If you want to say how much love/hate any of the videos, then just... leave a comment here! Also, if you'd like to ask something to be reuploaded - or if you want to request anything (I have many Laruku and Hyde music and videos), then drop a line also.
