Keeping my faith
Alright, I've been unfaithful to Hyde. Neither have I been mentioning much about him nor have I been having dreams about him (and instead, Dir en grey XD but I'm kinda happy actually =X).
If I don't start doing a little 'research', I might be too un-updated.
But... I don't even know what are the stops during his FAITH tour in USA T_T and whether it already ended. Actually, I'm kinda lazy on finding this out ^^;;
What I want are more of interviews, magazine scans, photos, videos... And I did managed to get some stuff off _hydeist. Oh man, I love this community. One of the easiest way to get updated.
†--† FAITH tour goods †--†
First and foremost... I gave the wrong information to some of you regarding Hyde's FAITH tour goods. As I didn't really read the item's name or check up on the translation for the good's description until today, I thought one of the FAITH goods actually included a bottle of wine. It is in fact, a bottle of PERFUME. Yes, perfume, packaged like a wine, following the image in Hyde's tour pamplet.
Really sorry about that.
Though it is a bottle of perfume instead of wine, I'm still kinda fond of this idea. Felt absolutely no disappointment when I realized my silly mistake =) Ah... it costs 12,000 Yen, which is prolly about SGD163 T^T.
HERE's the link to Hyde's FAITH tour goods.
†--† Magazine Scans †--†
Of course, who wouldn't be interested in an artist latest look?? Definitely not me. It's inevitable that we are constantly hunting down magazine scans of any latest issues we can find so as to see what the artists have done to their hair, faces, added some new piercings, grow new pube (no kyo T_T), and definitely for their latest dressing style, though knowing it's not really right to get the scans. But.. we're deprived fans.
One of the magazines that I manage to find featuring Hyde in his FAITH tour 2006 is the RR Newsmaker September magazine scans. I don't think the pictures are taken in USA though since it's the asian fans that I saw at the background.
Much thanks to dream_berry who posted the scans in _hydeist.

Not forgetting that this issue featured our beloved (~.~)-face Ken ^^
He has just released his new single 「Speed」 recently. Thanks to YP, I managed to catch his 「Speed」PV yesterday (might have to kope from you soon enough~).
I don't really know how to comment on the music itself, but I do have something I wanna say about Ken's look in the PV. Compared to his appearance in AWAKE tour, Ken has definitely slimmed down quite a lot. And... His style in the PV, especially the hair, kinda reminds me of Sanji from anime One Piece. Actually, it's because that I can't stop associating Ken with his ecchiness that reminds me of Sanji. Both are heavy smokers and equally perverse. Just my opinion though.
Anyway... Onwards to RR Newsmaker Sept 2006 scans~
For anyone who's interested in Ken's official site. http://www.ken-curlyhair.com/
Gosh, don't you just LOVE the domain!?!?!?!~~
†--† Interview †--†
We can't missed any interview no matter how frequently certain similar questions are asked. There IS bound to be something worth reading, and photoshoot worth drooling over.

J-ENT's HYDE Interview (August '06) --->> http://nt2099.com/J-ENT/
(It's at the Interview and Articles section on the right side :)
Some content regarding FAITH album that I found meaningful...
WYNNE: If not for the song "IT'S SAD", the album would have ended on a happy note quite literally with the song "MISSION". Why did you choose to put a song that describes the "worse creatures in history" at the very end? (Note: The song "MISSION" describes an ideal world without borders, where music will guide us all in harmony.)
HYDE: Like you said, if I had changed the order of the two songs around, it would have been the perfect order and would have fitted very well. But it would have been too normal. I wanted the album to have thorns in it. I wanted people to be aware. And I didn't want to relay a lie, so in order to show the real world, I put "IT'S SAD" at the end.
I should club myself with Kalcifer for not reading up on the lyrics for "It's Sad". I only remembered that the previous time that I listened to FAITH album, "It's Sad" left me with quite some emptiness and I just HAD to repeat the album. It wasn't the lyrics that gave me the emptiness ^^;; I wasn't paying much attention to it; it's more of how the music ended. The line that I remembered the clearest was, "A verdict has been reached. The court finds the defendant guilty".
That leads me back to how I felt towards the ending of AWAKE tour album. With "星空" as the last song for the tour... *Whacks the Laruku uncles silly* XD Come to think about it, AWAKE and FAITH go well together~
Eh.. ok. I know it's a little late to talk about the FAITH album since it was released like 4 months ago. But.. I.. I like~~ T_T
Meanwhile, I just scanned the FAITH CD Booklet (ok.. ok.. It should be up on my blog like 4 months back). The words might not be very clear.. but aiya, make do with it XD.
[Commercial break: OMG!!! While I was typing all these, I had my FAITH album in front of me. DANG! My brother saw the album! I hid the album at a corner, but I forgot to hide the plastic cover and booklet =.=lll
"多少钱？ 40？", asked my brother who just came back home from the camp. DAMN, he's observant. Ok, I think I'm the stupid one here. The current situation was so similar to that when I left my boy's boots on the table XD;;;
"Err... yeah. 40 ^^;;" I lied again.
"wa lao!!! 40?! 我就知道！ (=.=) 用谁的钱？"
"我的啦。自己存的。"
HAH! 13 dollars lesser.. still ok nyah? Hehe. And I received a hard whack on my back XD
Then came the shock-ku.
"不要讲 kor kor 不疼你。我帮你出一半。" *throw 20 bucks on the table and went off to flash his new sunglasses*
I SHOULD HAVE TOLD HIM THE ORIGINAL PRICE or even higher.
Nah... I'm guilty actually.]
Indeed, a beautiful ending is too perfect that it will spoil the album (comparable to that of a movie, no?). The world is tainted. Moreover, I've been going around saying my school is a liar :). As mentioned by beloved Bernice in her blog, the upcoming MasquArade-themed prom (the banner in school was "MasquArade" =) fits the school so well. A place of deceit.

Heading speak for itself~
Hyde: Artist Feed
I guess that's about it. Hope they're at least informative ^^;; Many thanks to all the people who shared their scans and information again.
