I.N.A. to release the book “Kimi no inai sekai’〜 hide to sugoshita 2486-nichi no kiseki 〜 (The World Without You ~2486 days spent with hide~)

As 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of the death of hide, the X Japan guitarist and popular solo artist/musician/producer, who passed away on May 2, 1988.

One of hide’s closest confidants was his drummer, I.N.A. (for hide with spread beaver) and also a renown musician, producer, composer, recording engineer and DJ.  And I.N.A. will be releasing the book “Kimi no inai sekai’〜 haido to sugoshita 2486-nichi no kiseki 〜” (The World Without You ~2486 days spent with hide~), which will be released on April 28th.

I.N.A. has never talked much about his friendship and working relationship with hide and the book will feature a lot of his memories working with hide.

hide had said, “I want to use I.N.A.’s talent for just me” and that led to their strong musical bond and would lead them to create music together.
