The following is the discography of hide, a Japanese rock musician who first gained fame in the late 1980s as lead guitarist of the heavy metal band X Japan before starting his solo career in 1993. Prior to X Japan, hide was leader and guitarist of the heavy metal band Saber Tiger (later known as Saver Tiger), who released one self-titled EP in July 1985 and contributed to two omnibuses before ending activities. Although two compilation albums of demos and live recordings and one concert VHS would later be released in 2001, with the band credited as Yokosuka Saver Tiger.

hide made his solo debut in August 1993 on MCA Victor with the simultaneously released singles 'Eyes Love You' and '50% & 50%', which were both certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Although the lyrics to these two songs were written by Yukinojo Mori, all of his subsequent material was written and composed by hide himself. His first studio album, Hide Your Face, was released in early 1994, reached number nine on the Oricon chart, and was certified double platinum by the RIAJ. All vocals and guitars were performed by hide, while bass and drums were contributed by various musicians such as T. M. Stevens and Terry Bozzio.

X Japan Official Website X Japan is the most successful rock band in Japanese history. The band has sold more than 30 million albums; singles and videos combined, sold out Japan’s 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome 18 times – so far – and have played to tens of thousands of fans outside of Japan.

Jealousy is another good old heavy metal album from X Japan. The band is credited with inventing the visual kei style, but you can't really hear that shake-and-stir mixture of U2 arena sound, goth rock, and mid-career Helloween here - regardless of the band's attire and haircuts, sonically it's a conventional '80s metal record (never mind that it originally came out in 1991). Complete II is a box set released October 1, 2005. On ten CDs and nine DVDs it collects all studio and live albums, and all DVDs that X Japan released after changing their name from X, along with two DVDs containing previously unreleased and rare material from the band's earlier career. X Japan (official typeset 'X JAPAN') is a rock band lead by drummer Yoshiki, considered to be one of the main pioneers of the Japanese Visual Kei movement. The group, originally named X, was founded by former Dynamite (1977-1978) and Noise (1978-1982) members Yoshiki and TOSHI (19) while attending high school in Tateyamashi in 1982.

In September 1996, hide released his second studio album, Psyence, which debuted at number one on the Oricon and was also certified double platinum by the RIAJ. It features many fewer musicians than his previous album, as hide began to also contribute almost all bass parts. With the January 1998 single 'Rocket Dive', his first on Universal Victor, his solo work started being released under the moniker hide with Spread Beaver, crediting his live touring band. However, with the exception of programmer, recording engineer and co-producer I.N.A and drummer Joe, the Spread Beaver members' contributions to recorded material was limited.

hide died on May 2, 1998 of what was ruled a suicide by hanging. Eleven days later, the single 'Pink Spider' was released, debuted at number one and became his first release to be certified million by the RIAJ. Later that same month, it was succeeded as number one on the Oricon by its followup, 'Ever Free', which was certified double platinum. 3.2.1., the debut studio album by Zilch, a United States-based band which formed in 1996 and was fronted by hide, was released in July 1998 by Cutting Edge. It reached number 2 on the Oricon and was certified double platinum by the RIAJ.^[1] The only studio album credited to hide with Spread Beaver, Ja, Zoo, was incomplete at the time of hide's death. It was completed by I.N.A and the other members of Spread Beaver, released in November 1998, reached number two and has been certified triple platinum for sales over 1.2 million.

In the years since hide's death, numerous re-releases, compilations and previously unreleased material has been published posthumously, including the 2002 single 'In Motion' and the 2014 song 'Co Gal'. Both of these were demos or unfinished songs that were completed by I.N.A, with the later utilizing Vocaloid technology to mimic hide's voice. hide's solo recordings have sold over 6.6 million copies.
