Description As of today, September 25th, 2005, the doors of the hide commemorative museum will be closed forever. The museum has been open since shortly after his death and will now never be open again.

As a fan, I am very sad to see this happen. I feel as though hide is going to be stricken from our memories in this action. So, to show my support for a great musical artist, I made this.

It's not much, but I wanted to let people know, we won't forget. Those of us who have kept hide in our hearts all this time, we won't let this callous act shut him out. We won't forget.

I'm almost crying now... I really miss hide-sama. And I feel so sorry for Yoshiki (and his other friends and family, too...)!! But I'll never forget hide. Never.

Had no idea it was officialy closed Why would anyone do that? Doesn't make much sense considering the undying fans out there.

I really don't know and was never able to figure it out. I can't read Japanese, so it's kind of hard.

Well, I'm offering a special right now, $10 prints, and that includes shipping within the contiguous U.S.! There's a journal entry all about it, I'm in a bit of a pickle money wise.

(by the way there's a petition up somewhere on some hide site (can't remember which one at the moment, but) they're trying to tear down the hide museum and anyways, the petition is to keep them from doing so!! if you're interested, i can send you the linkage!)

AWESOME piccy!

I'm sorry to say, but the petition failed. As of September 25th, the museum was -officially- closed. Maybe they'll reopen it one day, but it is now closed, so says official sources.

beautiful vectorage, my dear! Why did they close the museum, do you know? not enough patrons or was it some political type thing?

You know, I totally do not know why. I just read the news and was very saddened by it. I'll try and find out.

Shiritsu [2005-09-26 09:59:39 +0000 UTC]

That is beautiful! And yes we will not forget him. We fought to keep the museum open (got over 10 000 names) but even that didnΒ΄t prevent the museum from closing. ItΒ΄s sad. But I guess we have to move on. He shall not be forgotten!

I wanted to visit it as well. I mean, I'm not the hugest hide fan, but I recognize all the contributions he'd made to J-rock and really wanted to experience his stuff first hand at the musuem. Now that can't happen.

Oh well, we won't forget, no matter what they do.
