Can you tell me more about the relationship between Hyde and KINOMOTO SAKURA? Those are not YY.

Indeed, please look at "Ten Years of Sakura Pig", which is really touching! ! !

Sakura pig has been abridged for ten years, which is really long.

1992 Christmas Eve, Hyde first met KINOMOTO SAKURA.

At that time, Hyde stood in the darkness of LIVE HOUSE with waist-length hair and a white dress. He was dressed in black, straight waist and drumming on the stage, and his long hair was long and soft behind his neck. Later, Hyde recalled: "This man seems to be standing and playing drums …" That's because Sage's drum back is always straight.

At that time, SA was the drummer of another band (called dead end or something), and TETUS (Captain Rainbow) meant to pull him to jump ship. It was ty who took hyde that day. I met a group of people, went to eat, and China cooked (laughs, everything is cooked ~ ~). Sage ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, put it in front of him, and then chatted with them. He hit it off with KEN (the guitarist of Rainbow) and became friends of 10 years. By the time he came to his senses, the tenderloin in front of him had been eaten up.

Hyde smirked at him, a really bad expression (from: interview)

Then KINOMOTO SAKURA joined the rainbow. That's 1993 65438+ 10/6.

Then they decided to go from Tokyo to Osaka for development (I will omit some specific developments of going to Rainbow here, and only indicate them when necessary). Xiuer is from Tokyo, so she had to move, so she moved to Hyde's home. Before that, Hyde had been living with Chun Qing (as for who that guy was, Khan, he was also a famous boy who played rock), and Hyde kicked him out for SA. Poor brother Chun Qing mentioned this in a later interview, but he is still a little psychologically unbalanced. Laugh ~ ~ ~

SA is afraid of strangers and doesn't like Osaka. She doesn't want to go out. In the interview, Hyde mentioned that Lisa was hiding alone in her home in Osaka. (Laughter)

Hyde is a very caring person. So I accompanied him to get familiar with the environment.

The first choice for men to solve loneliness is drinking. Lisa later said on the radio program that he often went there to drink with Hyde. Everyone else mistakenly thought that Hyde was a girl and that Lisa had brought a beautiful girl. Lisa spoke in a very proud tone. ~ ~ Hyde's beauty is beyond doubt. He himself mentioned that solo was attacked when he was misunderstood as a girl in India (which drunken old man dared to touch my pig! )。

Osaka is actually a very memorable place for them. At that time, they were not very popular, and the big hat of fame and fortune had not been crushed, so they were free. Playing in the street and making music, I flew with joy. KINOMOTO SAKURA didn't like taking buses, Hyde recalled on the radio. He went to bed as soon as he got on the bus, and he didn't know when he passed the stop. So I always have to stay with him. He's really worrying. Sounds like a kannika nimtragol laughing ~ ~ ~

Correspondingly, what always makes us sad is later, after a long time, after Lisa left the rainbow. I went back to Osaka once. When he came back, he said on the radio, "Go back to Osaka." "Speaking of myself, I lived in Osaka for a period of time. Because it contains too many meanings, it is a land with deep feelings. Ah … even in hot summer, Osaka is still like this … Osaka is the place where I have lived for a long time after all. For a moment, homesickness hit. " "Ah, in the past, I lived here ... ah, but now, there is no place where I live (he used to live in Hyde's house, but he left Rainbow for about two years when he said this. "Ah, I took the tram and Shinkansen when I went back, and I thought, when will I definitely come to Osaka again ... Then I looked at the streets on both sides from the brand-new Osaka station, ah ... I did live there ... Although I thought so-but ... for me, there is no place to live here, and so on ... I came back with nostalgia. But, what can I say ... the day before, I fell asleep on the road, because I have been drinking since morning. I wanted to sleep so much that I fell asleep. While sleeping ... I was awakened by someone. A man with a red face. Hmm. He said, "Sorry, where you are sitting is my place ..." "Oh, there is no room for me here." (Laughter) "A very sad passage. Because Hyde used to stay with him and not let him sleep, and so on. Now that person is gone. No one reminded him anymore. ...

Later, they became famous and returned to Tokyo. At that time, Lisa and Hyde were already very close (I mean, they had a good relationship, whatever you think). Hyde Origin mentioned his impression of Lisa in the interview: "Lisa is basically a clown, but sometimes she is very gentle." For example, when I enter the room, if I am still sleeping, he will gently close the door ~ ~ but I don't know why, it's still "ping!" "grounding!" Later, Hyde also said, "Don't put precious things around Isaac" [because he will definitely break them for you! ! ]

When Sa took Hyde to karaoke, everyone praised Pig (the nickname of mainland fans for Hyde) for singing very well, and then Sa proudly said, of course, I took him!

At that time, piggy wanted to write a song about Apollo 13 in' 69. But Lisa thinks it is better to write about Apollo 13 machinery forgotten on the moon, and the feeling that machinery watches the earth rise from the moon horizon every day, but it will never go again. ...

Hyde thought it was a good idea, but it took him a long time to understand the meaning of S A.

Later, their recording basically ended and they took the Shinkansen to go home together. Hyde said to Xiu, Write me a lyric.

Then he wrote the famous Good Morning, hide, which is the front part of Hyde's name hideto. The title of the song has a colon, which is dialogue. But it is also a farewell song. Later, when Lisa was leaving, the song took on another meaning. ........................

1994, they are still young. The band is official, and the major has always had a legend. In exchange for letting the band Major Hyde sleep with the president, I don't know if it is true or not. (No way, Ryuichi Sakamoto really took care of them at that time, and he himself always liked beautiful little boys and old BT. )

In an interview in 1994, Hyde replied: KINOMOTO SAKURA. ......

1994 pigs still have long hair. Everyone dotes on him and is as proud as a princess.

He has a habit. As long as he watches their concerts, he will know that when Hyde is singing, as long as s a is behind (but drummers are usually behind the lead singer), he will ... continue to look back ... The frequency is indescribable ... In my memory, when I sing "I am so happy", I watched it from the beginning of singing "I love you" and then sang almost every sentence. (There are n lines in that song: I love you ..................................................................................................................................................................

KINOMOTO SAKURA once said, "If Hyde were a girl, I would love him very much." Hyde replied, "If I were a girl, I would definitely marry KINOMOTO SAKURA". They often play together. Sometimes, they laugh like lovers! ! Where KINOMOTO SAKURA is, Hyde will follow. He said: "I like cherry blossoms, because it has the same name as me and is Hyde's favorite flower!" " ! "Whenever he wakes up Hyde, he will stare at Hyde's face for a while. ] [From: Interview with Japan]

They were inseparable at that time.

This band is becoming more and more popular every day, and they are still making their own music happily.

When pigs talk to Isaac, their voices are different from those of others. It seems that the tone will be higher and sweeter. Among them, piggy's most famous mantra is: Notre Dame de Sakura! (KINOMOTO SAKURA is so bad), it is estimated that this is the origin of the term "human disqualification". When Satan led the topic to pornography, the pig said angrily, "Achan!" " ! "This is also one of the famous jokes.

Sa, this person talks easily. Once on the show, he suddenly said: There are many interesting things in Hyde's bed! (Sex toys, I don't know how he got them ... sweating) At this time, Hyde's face changed. He said, KINOMOTO SAKURA, how can you say such a thing here? Say yes, I won't say it. It didn't take long for his old man's house to say, that's funny ~ ~ those .......................................................................................................................................... in Hyde's bed and then SA will stop. ...

Regarding the past, KINOMOTO SAKURA said: "From' Sakura Jun' to' Sakura Pool', it finally became KINOMOTO SAKURA." The earliest members paid great attention to adding "Jun" when addressing KINOMOTO SAKURA. KINOMOTO SAKURA suddenly asked everyone to call him by his first name. Even so, it has become a "sakura pool" (as if to call Zen and stop halfway). It takes a lot of courage for Hyde to call people by their first names, and it is even more difficult to change their names suddenly. "At the beginning, it was' KINOMOTO SAKURA A', followed by a small' A'. It's so cute. " If there is any reason, it is because KINOMOTO SAKURA looked really handsome at first. However, since it is Hyde, it must be very cute (idiot)! Ever heard of it?

"I think everyone is about the same age. Why do you call me' Sakura Jun' alone (laughs)? My name is always' Zhezi'. Once, Hyde and I shared a room because of a performance. I said to Hyde,' Just call me KINOMOTO SAKURA'. He said,' I see. Just call it that. So in the morning. My blood pressure is low this morning, so I can't. Hyde tried desperately to help me up, but he couldn't, so he suddenly shouted,' Sa, Sa, Sa? KINOMOTO SAKURA ~' (laughs) "

About appellation:

Yachan: It's a nickname for KINOMOTO SAKURA. I've only heard a pig bark once before. It was a radio program between him and KINOMOTO SAKURA. The pig who kept calling "KINOMOTO SAKURA, KINOMOTO SAKURA" finally couldn't help shouting: "Ya fork ~n! ! "(Laughter ~~ ~) Until he complained about him (although KINOMOTO SAKURA kept singing in the middle ...), You Zhu called him" KINOMOTO SAKURA ". Now, although he is over 30 years old, KINOMOTO SAKURA has always called himself Yachan. Therefore, every time he has a gibberish attack, Zhe will ask him with ulterior motives: "How old is YaCNA?"

Haidi: a little-known nickname for piggy. Because it seems that only KINOMOTO SAKURA called him that, and I haven't heard of him since. Only some fans remember.

Tell me more about Sage. He comes from a good family and has a lot of money. He is the youngest of three children, with a brother and a sister. Big brother is the kind of person who wants to inherit the club at home. He has always received an elite education, and his sister has also married a very good person. So as the youngest child, he has no family responsibilities. That's why he has been living a simple life, relying on his own skills.

Sage is a person who is not suitable for the upper life ~ ~ What suits him best is the noisy street, three or two good buddies, a few bottles of beer, and sitting on the floor without even sitting on the table. ...

I like such people! ! ! ! ! I prefer to drink beer like a prodigal martini, rather than a rich man who drinks martini like ordinary beer. They are like kings without territories, and all territories are in their hearts.

In addition, Sakura Pig:

The famous "shoulder car"

After the concerts in 1995 and 1996, Sa often carries the pig on his shoulder and then walks down. People who have seen it seem to be impressed. Piggy was the queen at that time, so he was not well when he gave the order. No one dared to mess with that pig at that time. He also wants to provoke Sa, and insists on it all the time, but Sa doesn't like to ignore him, and he will never mess around. It was mentioned in the previous fan report. It seems that Hyde is the most procrastinator, but it is actually KINOMOTO SAKURA. Hyde treats him like a master! !

Compared with later life, life at that time was always much happier! The joy of family playing together. They laughed and shouted on the stage and ran all over the field.

In those years, they were in heaven.

The pig posted the photo of Sa on the mobile phone. He talked about it when he was on the show with Ken. Ken didn't believe it at first (Ken knew it, but he couldn't believe that Hyde would say it in front of so many people. ) Then the pig took out his mobile phone and showed it to him. It was given to him by Lisa when he didn't want it, and it turned out to be a treasure to him. ...

Sa also likes to tease the pig, such as teaching him to watch free pornographic videos (hilarious). The pig is still very happy and says, "Great ~" Sa has completely destroyed Hyde, who was still simple at that time. ...

Later, after filming the colorful PV, Hyde cut her hair and became a middle school girl. At that time, the fans were quite surprised, and all the good hair was gone. Ask KINOMOTO SAKURA: Why did Hyde cut his hair? Lisa said: In summer, it is very hot when sleeping. Japanese food is suspicious, is it SA? Sleeping with a pig and letting him cut it will make you feel hot. Joke ~ ~ episode, we can see that their relationship has been on fire since 1995.

Besides, KINOMOTO SAKURA is really a good man.

Piglets love to eat, and KINOMOTO SAKURA can cook ... A match made in heaven?

It seems that when I was in middle school, KINOMOTO SAKURA's mother had a car accident and the family was in chaos. Dad refused to tell them anything, and my sister was sent to a relative's house. Who will cook? So Sago volunteered to cook.

When I was still in the rainbow, someone once asked me what I was good at cooking. Others said one, only he said, "Actually, I can cook a little."

1995 and 1996 were the heyday of Hyde: the concert in 1995, 12 minutes had a behind-the-scenes tidbit. Hyde pulled the hair behind her ear and rolled his eyes happily and angrily ... Ah ah ~ ~ Needless to say, the moment of being alone is the most charming. Basic ~ ~ ~! ! ! (lack of pictures)

Well, let's talk about some of the events they made a lot of noise about. Mainly in' 96.

The article about them began in 1996.

/kloc-0 spread widely in Japan from the end of 1996 to the beginning of 1997.

The most exaggerated thing is that

At the end of 1996, on TV, entertainment news programs began direct dialogue.

Headlines similar to "Rainbow lead singer Hyde and drummer KINOMOTO SAKURA are suspected of homosexuality"

It is said that people from the economic company also issued a statement clarifying this point, and they were very nervous. No wonder the back will be scattered, so the rainbow will be finished. )

The following is from: Taiwan Province News.

Since the airport incident (the so-called airport incident, that is, they went on vacation together and were found hugging each other at the airport ... sweating), news about their abnormal relationship has been endless. In mid-May, a reporter photographed Hyde frequenting KINOMOTO SAKURA's apartment in Asakusa, and they were close. Even the driver's seat that Hyde often uses is Lin Baojianni of Sakura (wow ~ ~ ~ well, what a luxurious car, it really is the master of the rich). The reporter asked about their belongings, and the person in charge repeatedly stressed that they are just good friends, so please don't make unnecessary doubts. When the reporter asked KINOMOTO SAKURA, KINOMOTO SAKURA said with a relaxed face: "I can't do this." "Then they laughed in a heap, and another reporter didn't know how to continue.

Maybe it's hype .............................................................................................................................................................................

Everyone should know about that incident, right? I won't repeat it. First of all, let's start with Sago's reaction!

Sago said easily, "I won't have such a girlfriend." Strangely, ............. did not answer the reporter's question directly, but deduced a result according to the reporter's thinking? Usually ahaha smiles and says casually, "How can this happen?"? We are just good friends ~ "is enough to dispel doubts. But he made a detour here. It can be seen that this answer is after his thinking. On the one hand, he remained silent, on the other hand, he retained an ambiguous attitude. What's wrong with denying it directly? Of course, if he were alone, he would say something like "I am a man …", but he couldn't say it at this moment. He must take care of everyone present.

At this time, we noticed that the pig was nearby ~ ~ Although the pig's answer was absolutely amazing, no matter what he said, the background he said was very interesting ~ It seemed that he was not thinking about how to clarify the facts at all. What he said was for Sago, not a reporter. In other words, not only the reporter is waiting for Sage's answer, but also the pig is waiting for Sage to give him the answer ~ ~ OK! ! Of course, it's a bit much to say this ~ but what is certain is that his mind was not on rumors at that time, and he has been considering and paying attention to Sage's reaction ... Otherwise, how could he immediately say such a super untimely stupid thing as "I will be your girlfriend" (you know, people are wondering if you are fooling around with proper relationship or ~! ! Beware of the devil's big mouth slapping your face! ! )

After that, I estimated that Sage must have been shocked to laugh. He may think: that's it, aren't we making things worse (I won't guess so as not to have a fan tendency), but I think he must be embarrassed in it. He may not know how many funny elements and sincere elements are in this sentence. Laughter is of course the best way at this time. On the one hand, it relieves embarrassment, on the other hand, it shows that I completely regard this as a joke. This is not a calculation problem, but a subconscious behavior. At this time, the pig also got the message and immediately laughed with him. Two people completely ruled out the reporter comrades. They obviously create an atmosphere of two people and don't let others get in their way. ..........................................................................................................................................................

Summary: When others have become suspicious and asked to walk in front of them, these two guys are still laughing, beating around the bush, and even adding insult to injury. Visible, these two people together, will never do good, will only let the company and the devil for the first time twice. So we must break it. ...

Once, the pig said on the live broadcast, now that the cherry blossoms are in bloom, has everyone gone to see the flowers ~ ~ ~ At this time, Sa stood up and pointed at himself desperately, and then the pig saw it and said, I don't see it, just look at our cherry blossoms ~ ~

At that time, pigs often said, "What about our KINOMOTO SAKURA?" ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In an interview, when asked if you were going to marry a member of L 'Oré al, who would you choose? Hyde quickly said, "KINOMOTO SAKURA!" KINOMOTO SAKURA chose Hyde. Although Hyde's expression has not changed, it is pure, but the atmosphere is quite ambiguous (sweaty).

Reason: KINOMOTO SAKURA's is: "You can command by moving your chin"; Hyde's answer is: "It seems to be manipulated in the palm of your hand" (laughter).

1996, when participating in a talk show about love hosted by Takaaki Ishibashi and Nakai Masahiro, each contestant held a button in his hand and answered questions anonymously. As a result, there are problems only when the light is on (that is, when only one player admits it). Shiqiao always insisted that Hyde was up to no good and asked him to explain. Hyde looked a little disgusted with stonebridge at that time (this guy had ulterior motives). Every time I was thirsty, I wanted to drink water, but I was interrupted by a stone bridge and couldn't drink it. This time, the cup was raised to my mouth and was interrupted, which was really unpleasant. At this time, someone came out to be a shield for Hyde. KINOMOTO SAKURA, who has always been taciturn in TV interviews, stood up and said, "It wasn't Hyde, I pressed the button." The atmosphere at that time eased, which was really touching.

In many interviews, Hyde always likes to stick with KINOMOTO SAKURA. 1996, in the L'Arc special program, Hyde watched KINOMOTO SAKURA behind him until KINOMOTO SAKURA put his hand on Hyde's leg.

Hyde said that if he was a girl, he would want to marry KINOMOTO SAKURA. If anyone looks like KINOMOTO SAKURA, he is his type.

If you are drunk, you will become a kiss demon ... KINOMOTO SAKURA kisses the most (laughs). Once, when Hyde was drunk, the whole person jumped on Sa, and then kissed Sa once, once ~ once * * was three drops ~ ~ Zuiyan turned around and said to the other two people, "It seems unfair, why don't I kiss everyone?" (Me too ~ ~ ~)

Then there is the ring incident:

One day, Hyde and Lisa were walking in the street. Hyde took a fancy to an amber ring (pictured).

Piggy likes it very much, but it's expensive. "Alex sutorita》(98000 yuan), Hyde wanted it when he returned, so he asked KINOMOTO SAKURA to" buy it even though it is not suitable. " Let him help buy it back. When she wanted to pay the bill the next day, KINOMOTO SAKURA said, "Forget it, I bought it all anyway." So I didn't ask him for money. ..... That's a man named Sakurazawa! ! (Truth) Even from SA.

then ...

Hyde got the ring and said on the radio, "This was given to me by a very important person". After KINOMOTO SAKURA left the team, Hyde said at a later concert: "This ring ... was given to me by my wife." "Because it is too big, only wear it on the middle finger. But when there is something important, it will be worn on the ring finger. " If you wear it on your ring finger ... it means "lover" and "married" (laughs) ... it's really brave ~

He always wore that ring, and later he bought a red ring of the same style because he liked the designer's design. Hyde always wears it on his right hand. Later, after he got married, he took it off and put it on his left hand in order to respect the woman. But he never wore a wedding ring. .........................

Go on, where are we going? Oh, 1996 ~ ~ ~

Next is tragedy 97. ......................................................................................................................................................................

1997 65438+1October 10, they started their national concert tour, which was the last live performance of KINOMOTO SAKURA as a rainbow drummer.

1February 24, 997, the tenth day after Valentine's Day that year. Drummer KINOMOTO SAKURA was arrested for violating Japanese doping control law. All activities such as single and live tour scheduled to be released on March 2 1 are suspended.

On that day, there were many things I could never go back. ..............

Everything was in chaos, and Hyde later wrote in the lyrics, "If I knew, I would kill you before that morning." Almost collapsed. Everyone saw him crying hysterically in the office, and he went to the president again and again (Sa's family was probably trying to save his son from a lawsuit, so he hoped not to let Sa leave the team, and the president couldn't help it), but he insisted. Later, I had a high fever and was autistic. When I was interviewed, I cried and said, "Although KINOMOTO SAKURA was arrested, But I'm still ....................................................................................................................................................... Hyde, and we know you want to say that I still love him ~ ~ ~ (fantasy, automatically ignore)

Then KINOMOTO SAKURA left the team. Rainbow recombines and new drummer YUKKI joins. At the scene, Hyde still performed hard for the audience, but he didn't look back. .........

Let's start with Hyde.

He grew rapidly.

Hyde, 93, is a charming little girl with long hair and white clothes. Even if she makes a provocative gesture, she is just like a child who wants to learn from adults, more lovely than charming.

In 1995, he became more proud and pampered, seemingly willful and supercilious on the stage, but his brow often showed a gentle smile. At this time, the pig is really in full swing, and there is no flaw in how close the camera is. No matter how loose the clothes are, you can see that his waist is very thin, and he often plays some practical jokes, and he will pout and stare so cute. What is more attractive is casual charm and casual dress.

Fan evaluation:

At 97, it seems that the mind and spirit are not in the body, and the stage is just a body, numb and vacant, and occasionally there is a trace of heartbreak and helplessness. Eyes are particularly big and have a lovely taste.

99% of the piglets began to show the feeling of men, out of the charm of fairies, more human beauty. After learning the lesson, he began to become steady and mature.

00 years, more masculine, very mature and attractive. Then get married and be a husband. I don't need to tell you how scared we were when we heard the news of his sudden marriage ... why does he want to get married so much and marry a woman who is more than 9 centimeters taller than him? A head of hair willfully dyed him white (later turned golden)

0 1, Rainbow members stopped their activities and started their solo.

In 2003, they will rejoin the team and start activities.

After KINOMOTO SAKURA was arrested, Hyde has been dreaming about KINOMOTO SAKURA. Speaking of it personally, he came to his dream ... [It seems that it is true that Piggy was very sad at that time. I also saw a little pig say, during that time, "touching the guitar was disgusting."

The first concert of Tokyo Dome after KINOMOTO SAKURA left the team. It started very late. It is said that KINOMOTO SAKURA and Hyde met.

But from then on, there is always a bright side. Fans cheered for him at the scene. Once Sage finally couldn't help it, grabbed the microphone and shouted at the bottom: "A lot of Hyde ..." The audience burst into laughter. Where are the lovely and enthusiastic fans ~ ~ ~

Xiuer also lived to see the rainbow. I didn't tell anyone, so I squatted in a corner and laughed. But Hyde saw it (he was strong and I pulled him) and shouted into the microphone, "The guy in the back with black clothes and black hair is coming up! ! ! "At that time, the audience was silent. (Well, Lisa later dyed her white hair like Hyde and grew old together. ) That time, and then Sa didn't know what to say to Hyde. But Isaac still didn't go up. (inappropriate ` ~ ~) and then walked away. ...

Another famous LIVE was Hyde's last LIVE before he got married. KINOMOTO SAKURA suddenly went to see him. Because Hyde's marriage was announced only after he got married, it is estimated that only his own people knew that he was getting married before that. Xiuer ran to watch the live broadcast before it started, and the live broadcast was delayed for half an hour.

After Hyde watched the live broadcast of Sa aboveboard, the problem came out ... In addition to reporters, even my friend Ken often said, "After the live broadcast, I wanted to have a drink together to celebrate, but in the blink of an eye, the two men disappeared and ran away without saying a word." A reporter witnessed Hyde getting on Lisa's car. I don't know where they went. ........................................................................................................................................................

The relationship between Hyde and Lisa began to heat up.

SA brought Rainbow guitarists to form a band, and then brought Rainbow's lead singer to tour with them (I don't need to explain who Rainbow's lead singer is).

This live broadcast ended on May 14 this year. This is a very happy process. Hyde accidentally grabbed the feet of the fans and dragged them off the stage. At this time, Lisa rushed out of nowhere, picked him up and carried him away. The fans later said that they were still smiling at each other ... Hyde looked like a little woman ... and what excited us most was that the fans finally saw Hyde back! !

In retrospect, when I sang on LIVE, it seemed a hundred years ago. I miss it ~ ~ According to the fans present, Hyde didn't just turn around when he got to the back. Then he just turned around and sang to KINOMOTO SAKURA. But the guy ignored him and ran to the drum to sing. Sa a "please stop that now! So many people are here! " The expression ... haha ~ ~

Let's talk about sheep. All of a sudden:

Hyde was interviewed later (after Lisa left the team) (program? I told a dream I had before. I said that when I was sleeping, I dreamed that many sheep souls passed under the window and I didn't know where they went. He woke up at once, quickly shook Isaac up, told him about the dream, and then said, "If you dream again, take a bus together and see where they have gone."

But he never dreamed of the flock of sheep again, just as the good days between him and Isaac could never go back. ...
