■ “I hope that ‘BLEEDING’, which means ‘bleeding’, will take us to a world of even greater fear.” (HYDE)
It has been announced that HYDE’s new song “BLEEDING” will be used as the opening theme song for the nationwide drama “Warau Shukujo,” which will begin airing on July 27th on Tokai TV and Fuji TV.
The drama “The Laughing Lady” is based on a super popular series by best-selling author Shichiri Nakayama, known as the “King of Plot Twists,” whose novel has sold over 250,000 copies (as of July 2024) and is popular overseas in countries such as Korea, Thailand, and China. The drama is a shocking psycho-suspense story in which the rare villain “Michiru Gamo,” played by Rio Uchida, sends people to hell one after another.
“BLEEDING” (written by HYDE, Julian, hico, Ali) expresses the feelings of wandering in search of the truth of the real world through the intense beat, the shouts that expose the emotions, and the melodic and somewhat sad singing in the chorus. It is a number that is sure to get the crowd excited at live shows.
HYDE will release his new album “HYDE (INSIDE)” in the summer of 2024. “HYDE (INSIDE) LIVE 2024”, which started on June 22nd, has announced additional performances to be held in Kobe and Makuhari in October, and he will also appear at many summer festivals. Keep an eye on HYDE’s activities as he continues to work energetically.
Comment from HYDE
Thank you for offering me the opening song. When I submitted “BLEEDING”, I wondered if a metal song like this would be okay, but I was happy to receive a message from the director saying, “The worldview of the drama, the music, and the lyrics are a perfect match, so I’m looking forward to the reaction.” I hope that “BLEEDING”, which means “bleeding”, will invite you into an even more terrifying world, just like the terrifying and heart-shaking “Laughing Lady”.
