Ja, Zoo is the third album by Japanese musician Hide and the first after his solo project had formally been re-titled "Hide with Spread Beaver". It was released on November 21, 1998, having been completed without Hide, due to his death in May 1998. His ultimate level of involvement in the finished product is not clear, Zilch bassist Paul Raven stating in an interview shortly after the tragedy: "He was under a lot of pressure to finish his solo record. He had three songs completed the day before he died, and now mysteriously a full album is coming out nine days before ours."[1] (Note: Zilch's record 3.2.1. would eventually be released in July 1998, still a few months before Ja, Zoo.)
