HIDE: “Huh… Niigata gymnasium—”
PATA&TAIJI: “It's NOT a gymnasium!!!”
The video is finally here; I was so excited to subtitle it that I did it much faster than I usually do, lol.
It's not as long as I'd like, but it's something. Really fun 4 minutes. Can you imagine being stopped in the street by HIDE and he proclaims you a X fan from now on?
Thanks for this transcription despite the poor audio quality:

I'm curious as hell!

"...That day seven years ago, we had a free afternoon and were wandering around Manhattan with four or five people. When it came time to head back to the hotel in the evening, I remembered this accessory shop I'd been to a few times before and said, "There's a shop I want to go to nearby, so you all go back to the hotel without me," planning to split off from the group. Then hide said, "I also have a shop I want to go to," and stayed behind with me. As it turned out, we were both heading to the same place—coincidentally, the very same shop.
On that occasion, hide bought many of his trademark eye rings at that shop. I think he bought maybe six or seven. All the eye rings in that shop were handmade, using real prosthetic eyes. Since you can't make accessories with real prosthetic eyes in Japan, he seemed to be stocking up all at once while he had the chance. "You can only get these here, so buy one," he urged me repeatedly, but I found them somehow unsettling and didn't buy any.
Instead, I fell instantly in love with an antique pendant head containing amethyst and decided to buy it. The price was $100. But when I took out my card to sign, the slip strangely showed only $1 written on it. Puzzled, I showed it to hide. He grinned slyly and said, "Lucky! This is a mistake. Isn't it great? If you keep quiet, you can get it for a dollar." "Ehh, but I can't just…" As I hesitated, he suddenly shouted in a playful tone: "Hey mister! This lady's trying to buy this for a dollar! You better fix this quick, or she'll take it for a buck!" Of course, the shopkeeper couldn't understand Japanese, but being timid, I hurriedly had them correct the slip.
On the way back to the hotel on the subway, I grumbled, "Thanks to hide-chan, I lost out." He retorted, "What are you talking about? If you'd just signed quickly instead of hesitating and wondering what to do, I wouldn't have had to decide for you. I hate dishonesty. So from now on, you can call me Angel." With hide, you never knew where his true feelings ended and his jokes began—he was utterly unfathomable.
Very cool! B)
"The video ("Week-end") was shot over two days in a huge studio on the outskirts of Tokyo. The members of X are notoriously lax about time (except Hide...).
Being two hours late was a regular occurrence, and with the "X time" mentality, it was chaos on set!
Toshi's makeup didn't make it in time. Taiji disappeared off somewhere with a foreign model. To top it off, when they went to look for Yoshiki, who was due to appear, they found him leisurely taking a bath...
(Additional note: After filming, shards of glass and mirror were found stuck in hide's body)." - (c) Spin, 1990
Well, special for vivvy83 and yenthy 😄

"It was 4 AM. Pata and Kyo-chan, who had been drinking with us until just moments before, had slipped away unnoticed. Left behind on the still-dark street were just four of us: hide, Kuma-chan, Mayumayu, and myself. "Next round, let's go," commanded our captain—guess, who? —and with our cognitive functions already on the fritz, the four of us piled into a taxi without a second thought. Our destination: a 24-hour izakaya we'd been frequenting. Stumbling into the restaurant, the four of us somehow ordered beer, sake, natto, and miso soup.
The place had various menu items dangling from the wall like strips of paper. Idly glancing at the wall, I spotted some strange characters I could only read as "Yubamangashira."

I am only at ease within these walls / Icily... smooth / I want to relinquish all to you / Do not send me away from here... / I only fear liberation / Open, hollow, vast, and cruel / Do not send me out into such a world... / Inside here, forever... / Snug in a silk cocoon / Let me relinquish it all and sleep... / Ah... I am only at ease within these walls...
