Hideto Matsumoto (1964-1998), known as [[My Nayme Is|hide]], was the lead guitarist and one of the major creative members of [[X Japan]] from 1987 until 1997. He is co-credited, often, with Yoshiki for beginning [[Visual Kei]] as an artistic movement, and while working with Yoshiki, encouraged him to sign the band [[Luna Sea]] to Extasy Records, which eventually led to their own success as a popular band. Writing songs such as "Joker," "Love Replica," "Miscast," "Celebration," and "Drain," he soon branched out into an enormously successful solo career that encompassed 1993 to 1998.

* [[Angrish]]: "Doubt." Much of the song is arguably screamed in Angrish.
* [[Anyone Can Die]]: One reason hide's death made such an impression and was such a shock. He seemed to be the least emotionally damaged ex-member of X at the time, had a public face that appeared lively and interested in life, and even seemed to be planning for the future in an interview he did the day before he died.
