We'll be starting off this week with an interesting if not sort of creepy announcement. On December 10, former X-Japan guitarist Hide will be releasing a new song. No, this isn't a Halloween, zombie, back from the dead thing (though that would be pretty cool). As it turns out, Hide was working on a song shortly before his death in 1998 called Co Gal that was meant to be included on his album Ja,Zoo, but he passed before it was finished. Now, sixteen years later, the song has been completed. Using VOCALOID technology, Hide himself is able to sing the song he never finished. The track will be included on the upcoming album of the same name commemorating his 50th birthday.
