One of the most successful figures in Japanese rock music, the ever charismatic Hyde is the frontman for L’arc~en~Ciel, a.k.a, the biggest band you’ve never heard of. Hyde’s performances are always high energy. Hyde very rarely sounds uncomfortable in any of his registers, both his low notes and his high notes are very strong.
