hide fans know that he had a fan with a chronic illness (something
called 'Peripheral Nerve Regenerative Disorder'), that he met
one day, and stayed in contact with afterwards. These are
excerpts of her diary.
Diary excerpts
hide-san used to come and play with/see me very often (this is
talking about before the transplant), sometimes Yoshiki would
come as well.
During one of their performances, hide-san gave me a front
ticket, and asked the staff members to escort me backstage to
his change room. He was afraid that the fans would squash me. I
waited for him in his change room, he came in and took my hand.
His hands were shaking, I think he was really excited. He then
carried me on his back and ran around the entire backstage,
kicking people's doors open and shouting "Yo! I have a friend to
introduce to you".
When he kicked open Yoshiki's door, Yoshiki was dumbstruck with
shock... Yoshiki hasn't even taken off his make-up yet.
Then afterwards, they decided to go drinking. Due to my health
problem, I can't walk very fast. So, hide-san held my hand and
walked very slowly with me. Soon enough, everyone started
disappearing in front of us. Then, we saw a figure leaning
against a wall in front of us. When we got near, we realized
that it was Yoshiki. Yoshiki said "I've been waiting for you".
Then he came over and took my other hand.
So the three of us slowly walked on. I was really happy to see
Yoshiki waiting there, even though I knew he wasn't waiting for
me.
I went to hide-san's funeral as well, I sat there and couldn't
stop crying. Yoshiki came over and knelt down beside me. Even
though he was wearing dark sunglasses, I knew that he was
looking at me. I knew that he wanted to comfort me in some way
so that I'd stop crying. After a long while he finally said, "hide-ji
is not here anymore, Yoshiki-ni will stay with you".(*) I
once again started crying non-stop, Yoshiki started crying as
well. He looked really sad and heartbroken. It was the first
time I've actually seen him cry, with no make-up, no barrier, he
didn't even bother hiding it.
