''Hide Your Face'' is the debut album by Japanese musician hide, released on February 23, 1994. It reached number 9 on the Oricon chart and was named one of the top albums from 1989-1998 in a 2004 issue of the music magazine ''Band Yarouze''. ==Overview== hide embarked on a solo career in 1993 due to the downtime in X Japan. Initially wanting to hire several different vocalists because he was unsure of his own voice, he eventually began taking vocal lessons from Toshi's coach and sang the material himself. The song "Frozen Bug '93 (Diggers Version)" is a remixed version of "Frozen Bug", a song that hide wrote and performed with Luna Sea members J and Inoran, under the band name M *A *S *S, for the 1993 compilation ''Dance 2 Noise 004''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Various – Dance 2 Noise 004 )〕 Wanting to contrast something unusual with a pop background, hide hired Yukinojo Mori to pen the lyrics to his first two A-side singles. As a kid, hide was fond of Bow Wow's 1982 album ''Warning from Stardust'', where the A-side songs had lyrics in English and the B-side in Japanese. Liking the Japanese lyrics better, hide only realized Mori was their author afterwards.〔 Together with the music for "Frozen Bug", "Eyes Love You" and "50% & 50%" are the only songs hide released for his solo career that he did not write himself. The album's cover art features a reproduction of a mask, created by H. R. Giger, by Screaming Mad George. ''Hide Your Face'' was re-released on the Japan only format SHM-CD on December 3, 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hide Your Face」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
