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.

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. =)

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

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.
