Jealousy Release Anniversary ⨳ Tour Book Appreciation ⨳ PART ONE

In tandem with u/kamijo69's post in recognition of the anniversary release of Jealousy, here is some appreciation for the Violence in Jealousy tour book ~ the majority of it anyway! The last slide is a shot of a couple of merch and fan club fliers that came with. There are a few pages of Yo in his skivvies which Reddit's filters automatically zapped (thanks 👿), so I will post those separately with a NSFW tag. Please forgive any imperfections as I used my phone (which could admittedly use an upgrade).....

hide On Piano Instrumental

here's another from the "music for study/ sleep/ relax" video series that I've made

I really like how this one turns out better than the previous video, there's more song covered in this one too than the acoustic guitar version

this might be the last video for a while, meaning I'm not going to upload the "Orgel Sound" version, well maybe I'll change my mind, but no promise✌️

anyway, enjoy the video! would appreciate if you could like/ share the video/ subscribe to the channel

feel free to see what other videos on my channel too

hide Guitar Appreciation ⨳ "Mockingbird Model" as seen in the Celebration MV

Even hide's guitar supervisor, Takayuki Hyogo, didn't know much about this one. 😬😸 I find it curious that it was featured in a music video yet it was discovered lying around in a warehouse. And is there really any question that hide was NOT responsible for the artwork? The imagery and style were totally his calling card. 😸✌️👁️

Slide 2 is from Pinky Promise; Slide 3 is from Closet Collection (there was no additional commentary in that particular book).

If anyone has additional information or fun tidbits about this guitar, please share! AND, maybe it is imminent that X Japan's YouTube channel will officially drop the full Celebration video soon.🤞 It has been slowly reappearing on other channels recently which is interesting, considering it was being removed left and right due to policing by Sony...bilibili was seemingly the only resource for anyone who otherwise does not own the Visual Shock DVD box. Hmmmmmmmm.....

Pata + Ra:In Performing with an X Tribute Band last November. Very Bizarre Video.

https://youtu.be/pmVm5XwkkTA?si=J2MfwW-q5C1JVOdZ

Pata and the boys from Ra:In playing "Pink Spider" with an X Tribute Band. I'm guessing this was a Pata birthday celebration.

Die plays some absolutely unhinged piano licks.
