专辑介绍：

HIDE在加入X之前是「SAVER TIGER」的吉他手，受YOSHIKI的邀请加入Ｘ。在乐队里有独当一面的影响力，形象百变的他是X-Japan活动结束后发展最快的成员。其亲和力和创作上不断给人带来惊奇的表现，以及永远前卫另类的思想，使他无论在Fans心中还是音乐界中都成为极具影响力的ARTIST……于1998年5月2日清晨醉归，在东京港区的自宅公寓意外身亡，同居女友发现时已经意识不明，在救护车紧急送医院后仍告不治，没有遗书，动机不明。所有相关人士和Fans都受到极大冲击！留下的精彩的音乐和永远揭不开的谜。

这张专辑是在HIDE死后几个月发行的，应该算是他的第三张个人专辑了。关于HIDE本人我不想说更多，对于喜欢HIDE的乐迷来说，这张专辑无疑是相当珍贵的。

The last album of Hide. There isn't anything new in Ja Zoo, just like the style of Hide as usual, but on the other hand, all fans need at that time is just an album of HIDE, as he died few days before the album released.

Of course, Hide mysteriously died in 1998, leaving behind his work with Spread Beaver (the greatest name for any back-up band ever) which mostly consisted of his third and final full-length studio release, Ja Zoo. Ja Zoo took forever to be released, probably due to Hide's death. The controversy surrounding it and his absence in the studio to finish the project no doubt held up the production of the album. In the lieu of Hide's death, two singles from the album were released to the public- "Rocket Dive" and "Hurry-Go-Round". The public was of course responsive and single sales were good.

The following album sales were not as stellar as one would think they would be what with it being the last release from a dead artist. Still Ja Zoo did well, however it lacks the all-over-the-map kick that Psyence had.

Ja Zoo features mostly rock. The musical style sort of bridges a gap between the first and second Hide albums. A kind of musical, 'two steps forward and one step back'. The songs are predominately either fast, metal-industrial bits, the pop sort of stuff ("Hurry-Go-Round") or just plain goof-ball stuff ("Fish Scratch Fever") with the occasional ballad ("Pink Cloud"). Some of the material is even reconstituted from other works such as the new version of "Doubt and Leatherface", which was a track off the Zilch project.

In my personal opinion, this has got to be the best hide album. With upbeat, happy songs and powerful ballads, this is an album that all hide fans must own! The fact that this was hide's last album makes it even more special. -----by unfinished.hide
