Themes

The Western press has noted Faith for its lyrics' spiritual subject matter as the album contains references to Christianity. In an interview with the German dark music magazine Orkus, the interviewer asked Hyde: "What can we hear from your latest release?" Hyde replied:

"The religious expressions and aspects. I am not a member of a special religion but when I was in Europe and visited some churches there, I felt this enormous power and I felt like my soul was being purged. And I wanted to create this atmosphere on my album.[2]

Tour

A five-month tour promoting Faith was scheduled, beginning in April 2006. Most locations are in Japan; however, after Hyde and Itachi signed on with Sony's North American-based Tofu Records, two concerts in the United States were added to the line up.

The first concert announced was scheduled for July 5, 2006, located in San Francisco, California. Shortly after tickets sold out for the event, a second concert was confirmed to be held July 2, in Anaheim, California. In the end, two US concerts as well as an appearance for a question and answer session in Anaheim at the anime convention Anime Expo, were added to Hyde's mini US tour.

Luego de estar un tiempo trabajando con L'Arc~en~Ciel, HYDE reanuda su carrera en solitario lanzando dos nuevos singles: COUNTDOWN y SEASON'S CALL que darían paso a su tercer álbum de estudio, FAITH. Lo componen 10 canciones de género rock o hard rock pasando por algún track más lento, contando con la colaboración de las composiciones de KAZ (Kazuhito Iwake), su guitarrista de apoyo. Éste fue el compositor de la mitad del álbum, así como ayudó en los arreglos de las demás canciones, proponiendo, por ejemplo, que se introdujera un piano en el track JESUS CHRIST.
