On May 2, 1998, Hide, a leading Japanese rock musician who had been active as a guitarist for X JAPAN and as a solo artist (hide with Spread Beaver/zilch), suddenly passed away. His funeral was attended by about 50,000 people and became a social phenomenon as all of Japan wept at his untimely farewell. His younger brother, Hiroshi Matsumoto, who was Hide's manager, started to work with Hide's co-producer I.N.A., who had been working on a song with Hide, and his friends to make his brother's will come true. Yuji and I.N.A. struggle under the unusual circumstance that Hide himself is not present, but they are confronted with various difficulties.

This is a Christmas musical movie with eight old Christmas carols that have been collected during special search expeditions. Combined with electronic sound of Yaroslav Tatarchenko and performed by famous Ukrainian artists these carols have found a new life and for the first time they can be heard by the general public. JAMALA — «Ой грало море в неділю рано» DANTES — «А в полі-полі вишня стояла» WELLBOY — «Із-за гаю зеленого» Tонка — «Ой, добрий вечір, пан-хазяїну» TERY — «А в пана-пана» ЮЮ — «А в нашого хазяїна» Lely45 — «А що звечора» ЩукаРиба — «Ой була, була в батечка дочка». The purpose of this project is to preserve Ukrainian Christmas traditions that have been muddled and belittled by the soviet propaganda for years and years, but also to update them with new sound because Christmas carols are part of our modern lives not some sacred past to be forever hidden in a coffer.

The Sadies Stop and Start captures a moment in time. That time was uncertain and dark. Still reeling from losing Dallas, we found out that Mike needed to have emergency wrist surgery. We needed to play these songs, not knowing if we would ever have the opportunity again. With one day's notice, documentary filmmaker Ron Mann and a stellar crew pulled together to help us capture these songs. Friends and family gathered to help out and show their support. James McKenty engineered in his mobile recording trailer, In Record Time Studio. The resulting film looked and sounded better than we could have hoped. We are thankful to share that Mike's surgery was successful and we are back out on the road and coming to a city near you.
