You're welcome! ^^ I've seen footage of the hologram and it was really clever. It looks like they had a kind of see-through screen in a thin frame on the stage where he would have stood, and they projected a life-size moving image of him onto it. There was also some dry ice around to add extra substance and atmosphere when he was there. The hologram footage must have been taken from previous live performances and they synced it in with what was actually being played live. There was also a funky kind of ethereal glow around hide, very much like when Obi-Wan Kenobi appears to Luke Skywalker as a ghost. So it was like he was appearing via the gift of The Force! How cool is that?! X3

If you go to the X Japan Official MySpace you can see video highlights of the Tokyo Dome lives... hologram hide is in there somewhere! ^_~
