As you might know already (almost) all of hide chan's videos have been released on DVD in Japan (Country Code: 2, NTSC), but did you also know about the SECRET TRACKS on these DVDs??? There is a difference between the DVDs that were released during the "DVD age" like "his invincible deluge evidence", or " A Story", which naturally contain no secret tracks and those that were REreleased as DVDs. (however "Alivest" and "17 Clips" are exceptions) Those DVDs are: A Souvenir Film the Psychommunity Reel 1 Film the Psychommunity Reel 2 Seven Clips Ugly Pink Machine File 1 Ugly Pink Machine File 2 Alivest 17 clips .

. The secret tracks: . A Souvenir Nothing of the secret track is mentioned anywhere, not on the cover, not in the DVD menu, but if you play the DVD up to the very very end you get a very nice surprise: hide and L7 in Oblaat! Wow... before I saw the track, I didn't even know that hide chan did "Oblaat" with the two girls from L7! I thought they had only done "Doubt". But on the same place, on top of this refinery roof, hide chan does "Oblaat" with L7 and Ina chan. Some of the footage has actually been used for the "Doubt" video, but there are many scenes that have never been released before. Thanks for releasing that! . Film the Psychommunity Reel 1 Also this secret track is very nice... (and again announced nowhere and you have to wait for the very end of the DVD): Remember the "Tell Me" video clip on "7 clips"? What you see in this secret track is the shooting of this video (or at least parts of it) in Kawaguchi Lilia Hall. A camera follows hide chan all around during the whole song. You see some of the footage in the finished "Tell Me" clip of course but not all of it. Some of the scenes have never been released before. . Film the Psychommunity Reel 2 The secret tracks on this DVD are not THAT secret. You can find them in the menu. Remember "Oblaat" on this video? The screen gets partitioned into four and you see four versions of Oblaat at the same time. Two times Yokhama Arena on different dates, one version from Yoyogi and one "on tour". Now in the DVD you have the option to see each of these four versions on the full screen plus the partitioned one. That means you can see "Oblaat" five times on this DVD. I was surprised what a difference it makes to see the four versions on full screen, there are many details you miss when you see the partitioned version. . 7 Clips This DVD contains no secret track, but has an additional track on it nevertheless which is the video clip of "Hurry Go Round" (whatever one may think of this video). .

. Ugly Pink Machine File 1 TV time!!!! The secret track is what hide chan called "terebi time". During the Psyence a GoGo tour hide chan presented the "terebi time" to the fans during the show. He showed anecdotes of happenings backstage that were shot on video to the audience. These happenings are what makes up most of the Ugly Pink Machine File 2, (like when Chirolyn, more or less naked, closes himself out of his hotel room) but it's very nice to see hide chan on stage as the announcer of the "terebi time" and to hear his comments to the backstage happenings. The "terebi time" on this DVD is taken from the live in Yoyogi on the 19th of October 1996. . Ugly Pink Machine File 2 TV time again! The secret track on this DVD is the "terebi time" of the last Psyence a GoGo live in Yoyogi on the 20th of October 1996. . Alivest Even though the Alivest DVD was released in the "DVD age" there is a secret track on it. Hi-Ho Shinkansen (bullet train) version! hide chan rides on the Shinkansen during the Psyence a GoGo tour from one concert city to the next and terribly bored has nothing better to do than to sing Hi-Ho (laugh). Unfortunately you do not hear the sound from inside the train but a playback of the actual Hi-Ho recording. Probably the noise of the train was too loud anyway! (laugh). . 17 clips Even though this DVD was released in the "DVD age" like on "Alivest" there is a secret track on it, more or less the sequel of the Alivest secret track: Hi-Ho dressing room version (however I like to call it the obento (Japanese lunchbox) version). During Psyence a GoGo tour you see hide chan and the other band members in the dressing room having lunch boxes (obento) and they play with their food and hide chan sings hi-ho! (laugh)... As with the Shinkansen version you unfortunately don't hear the original sound again but only the studio recording of Hi-Ho while watching hide chan sing with rice stuffed into his mouth! Damn I would have liked to hear what that sounds like! .

. Hope I told you something you didn't know yet with this portray of the secret DVD tracks. . back to the thread center kurenai X
