hide might appear in japanese theaters next year! According to the japanese website Theater Guide, it is planned to create a rock musical named "Pink Spider" as a tribute for the legendary guitarist.

Yuu Takeuchi, member and founder of the theater group Death Densho (デス電所) will take care of the piece, and INA as a former member of hide with Spread Beaver will be involved as its musical director as well.

The premiere of the piece is planned to be in March 2011 at The Globe Tokyo, a theater in Shinjuku.

...Doesn't this sound like "We Will Rock You" in Japanese manner?

Well, let's wait and see - until now there's nothing announced on Death Densho's website. On hide's official website however you can find further information.

NOTE: We previously said there wasn't any information about the musical on hide-city.com available. Herewith we apologize for the false information.
