HYDE's Career Finish Line: Asserts He Won't Stop Making Music Until This Happens

Kapanlagi.com - Among the many popular musicians from Japan, the name HYDE is one of the most widely recognized. Initially popular as the vocalist of L'Arc~en~Ciel, HYDE has now made a name for himself with various side projects, such as THE LAST ROCKSTAR, Vamps, and also HYDE.

Getting older but still thriving. That phrase is fitting for HYDE. How could it not be, at over fifty years old, he remains very active in music and continues to maintain a balance between his main band and his side projects.

"I have listened to many different genres over the past few years, so by exploring various styles, I was finally able to find the right balance of what I want to convey," said HYDE during an exclusive interview with KapanLagi.com recently.

1. More Comfortable in the Current Era

HYDE began his career in the music industry in 1988. He has certainly experienced various changes in the music industry that continue to transform as time progresses.

"If in the current era I can work more calmly. In the past, there were many things I didn’t understand, and I spent a lot of energy, but now I can really focus on what I can do. But yes, I’m still busy," HYDE said when asked about the differences between the music industry then and now.

2. HYDE's Finish Line

Usually, a musician has a finish line for when they will stop their career. However, this does not seem to apply to HYDE. He mentioned that he will not stop making music until this happens.

"There is no finish line in this career, as long as I still have fans, I will not stop," concluded the singer of MAD QUALIA.

3. Solo Concert in Jakarta
