Extasy Records
Hide joined X Japan (then called X) in February 1987, becoming the band's lead guitarist and occasional songwriter. After that he contributed the songs "Celebration", "Joker", and the single "Scars". X Japan released their first album "Vanishing Vision" through drummer Yoshiki's own Extasy Records on April 14, 1988, and toured extensively in support of the record. They would become one of the first Japanese acts to achieve mainstream success while on an independent label, and were later widely credited as one of the pioneers of visual kei.
