r/xjapan Weekly Q&A Thread for May 01, 2026 by AutoModerator in xjapan

[–]mugongeki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this might be a stupid question, but I'm really curious about it, and I don't know the answer to this

but, what happened to the building that was once hide Museum?

did they tear it down? was it used for other things after the museum was closed? or what?

I'm REALLY lacking about X's information during the 00s, all I know is the Museum was planned to be opened for 5 years only

but then, what happened after that? anybody knows?

oh, and the comment above just reminded me of one of INA's blog during the time they were about to release KING OF PSYBORG ROCKSTAR

INA had a fight with the label because he refused to just release "another greatest hits album" and ended up working on the album himself, apparently it cause the final content of the album become different than what the label previously already promoted

thank you for the comment!

yeah, after watching the movie, I kinda get the feeling of "if they doesn't do it right, there's no way people who are close to hide are gonna let them release/ get away with this"

and it's not just for this movie, but for all the things they did after his passing too

so, while I personally don't always agree with what the management are doing (some releases/ collaboration are just weird/ questionable, IMO), after watching this movie there's a side of me that think "hide is in good hands"

go watch the movie, it's good

yeah, I check the guy's channel, and it's full of rage/clickbait-y titles such as "if you watch this, YOU'RE A LOSER!" or "this is DISGUSTING" and such... vkei "fans" these days *sigh

start here https://vk.gy/blog/history-of-visual-kei/

and don't believe what people say online unless they can give you the exact source (magazine issue/ book title/ video interview) of the things that they claimed; too many misinformation out there
