May 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of guitarist hide, best known for his work in the band X JAPAN. As part of the "hide 20th Memorial Project" a new documentary titled "HURRY GO ROUND" will be screened via roadshow on May 26. The documentary is directed by Tomoji Ishikawa and a trailer for it was recently released.

The documentary sees actor Yumoto Yuma guide the viewers through hide's last moments and the documentary features footage taken on the day before his death, the first time it's been seen publicly. We also see Yumoto travel throughout Japan and Los Angeles as he pieces together the life and history of hide. "HURRY GO ROUND" also features appearances by Hiroshi Matsumoto (hide's brother), the band Spread Beaver, and recording engineer Eric Westfall among others.

The documentary takes its title from the posthumously released song of the same name produced by hide with Spread Beaver. The song will also be used as the documentary's theme. The trailer can be found below.
