The album was released in 2014 in celebration of what would have been hide’s 50th birthday. It includes its namesake song and 15 “bonus tracks” of his most popular songs remastered. Hide unfortunately passed before “Co GAL” was completed but in a process that took over two years, the track was finished using Vocaloid technology to mimic the deceased musician's voice and complete the song. His actual voice, breathing sounds and other cues were extracted from previously released songs and the demo (which features alternate lyrics) and combined with the synthesized voice.
