I do like the pic, and I think Hide is always in our hearts and in our minds, and a kind of immortal in that way and of course through his music, so is OK to let him rest in peace. I´ve heard, that there was a unfortunate controversy between the band and Matsumoto Hiroshi about a lot of money for using Hides images furthermore, so now they don´t use it.
There were so many changes last year for the band and it seems that make them outgrow over themself, make them much more succesfull than the years before
