It was hide's solo project, as well as the first J-music band that i've ever known (thanks to their song
Hurry Go Round... listen to it !
). It has been six or seven years already, but they're still my favorite (alongside X Japan), though their styles of music are pretty different from each other.
If you don't know what to listen to first, i advise you to start with
Singles ~ junk story. Oh well, their albums are all great anyway !
PV : Ever Free
