Flame-X 441 Posted July 19, 2010 http://www.amuse.co.jp/siamshade/index.html * Hideki Imamura - Vocals * Kazuma Endo - Rhythm Guitar/Backing Vocals * Daita Ito - Lead Guitar * Yasushi Nakagawa (Natin) - Bass * Junji Sakuma (Jun-ji) - Drums Siam Shade was a five-piece Japanese rock band which was quite popular during their post-breakup period. They broke onto the visual kei scene alongside a multitude of other artists in the early 1990s, enjoying a decade of relative popularity on the Japanese music scene before disbanding in early 2002. Outside Japan, Siam Shade is best known as the band who performed "1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou", one of the many ending themes of Rurouni Kenshin, a popular anime series. -Wikipedia Any fans here? Please post away. If you're new to them, give them a chance! Start out with "1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou" (1/3 PUREHEARTED EMOTIONS) and work your way through. =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evilcoconut 109 Posted July 19, 2010 it seems strange to have a thread when they're long broken up...lol. i liked them, admittedly, but i prefer binecks now, the vocalist is much less annoying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seiji 156 Posted July 28, 2010 A friend in japan gave me an album of them 3 years ago and since then I really love them. BLACK is my favorite song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flame-X 441 Posted August 19, 2010 Obviously the first song I heard from them is the 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou. I was watching a random ep of Rurouni Kenshin and that song came up as the ED. I was instantly hooked. I tried their other stuff but it didn't click on me. That was like 7-8 years ago. At that time I was still new to Japanese music and rock genre. That could've been the reason why I couldn't get into them. But the real reason was, I listened to the wrong songs. Then a couple months ago, I gave them a 2nd chance listening to all their albums. Wow, I missed out some great music. Now this is what I call hard rock. It's shame they disbanded. It'd be nice they do another reunion concert except this time, showing it on TV or selling it on DVD. Some of my fav songs are: 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou Kumori Nochi Hare Never End Moon ADORENARIN Time's Ookina Kino Shitade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flame-X 441 Posted October 8, 2010 Holy crap they overtuned his voice. Yasu's raw voice sounds good enough. I don't know why there was a need to modify it. I like what I heard from the previews of Life, Kumori Nochi Hare, and Dreams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
