The hide museum closure - stop it!

**Ryoko** · #1 21st April 2005, 10:06 PM

I was looking through LJ today and I found out that the hide museum (for hide of X Japan, who is now sadly deceased) is closing on September 25th of this year! It's the last thing left of him besides his music that us fans have. Some of us fans haven't even gone to the museum yet! I am quite apalled at this decision. This is absolutely terrible, this decision. People have already begun to sign a petition to send to the management company. Hopefully if we get enough signatures, they will keep it open.

This is the link to the petition!
hide museum Petition Paper

The hide museum was built so that we could remember him. Closing it would be a disgraceful decision - to his memory and to his fans.

I urge everyone to sign this, even if you aren't a fan! Please, pass this link on to as many people as possible!!

Here are some links regarding to the issue, which everyone should check out as well

There's quite a bit of signatures there! I'll sign it ^^ As I was hoping to go one day. But, there's certain circumstances that signatures can't help keep it open, like if it needed funding or whatever... Still, I was pretty disappointed when I heard the news.

That's what i was thinking paper_doll, in the end it all comes down to funding and the amount of people who visit on a daily basis. Sadly some things are not feasible to continue

I'll sign though, hide was amazing, and it's really does hurt me to think of how he died so young

Wow O_O it hasn't even been open that long... at least I don't think so... this is honestly both a shock and something to really be sad about. I would have loved to go...
