Released March 27th, 2002, Roentgen was the first solo album of popular Japanese vocalist, Hyde, produced by his own label, Haunted Records, a division of Sony's Ki/oon Records. The album leans towards the softer side of rock music, with crisp, wintery White Song and the beautiful imagery of A Drop of Colour. The beautiful, wrenching vocals that Hyde is known to pour out can be heard in Shallow Sleep or The Cape of Storms, balancing out the album. "The Cape of Storms" is featured in the film Kagen no Tsuki: Last Quarter The song is said to be based on an Richard Wagner's opera The Flying Dutchman. "Shallow Sleep" was also featured on the U.S.-released CD The JPop CD. Hyde's second solo album 666 is commonly thought of as the companion and opposite of Roentgen. A third solo album, titled Faith is scheduled to be released April 4, 2006 and will feature his two newest singles: Countdown (2005) and Season's Call (2006).
