After several changes in the band members, Yokosuka Saver Tiger split up. hide was frustrated that his music career wasn't working out, and decided to become a beautician.Near his graduation, hide recieved a phone call from the band leader of "X", Yoshiki. Yoshiki asked hide if he would like to be one out of two guitarists, hide simply said, "Fine." Even though hide's answer was simple, it made a huge impact on his life.
"X", later changed to "X Japan", was a huge success not only because of their music, but because they did something other Japanese bands hadn't done before. The band members of X Japan wore over-the-top outfits at concerts and sometimes a band member would dress as a girl, just to make their songs' story have more effect. X Japan's, and hide's, popularity grew rapidly. hide was recognized in X Japan because of his alternative fashion making him one of the most mysterious characters of the group.
