The band released their first 4-song demo with 4 tracks in 1993, followed by their first single "DOLL/LIGHT FOR CLOSED YOUR EYES" the same year, and quickly rose to popularity, despite a constantly changing band line up.
SIAM SHADE released their first full-length, self titled album in 1994. The album marked the SIAM SHADE recording debut of guitarist Daita Itoh, a constant force to be reckoned with on the Japanese indie rock scene.
SIAM SHADE was influenced by the Indies band, Luna Sea, and many of their earlier songs were similar to Luna Sea's style. However, after a couple of years, they began to move toward their own unique style. Although the band generally played progressive rock, they also wrote pop songs and metal songs. Some of SIAM SHADE's progressive rock songs were inspired by the works of Dream Theater.
The band, consisting of Hideki on vocals, Junji on drums, Daita on guitar, Natchin on bass, and Kazuma on guitar and back-up vocals, went on to release 7 full length albums in addition to several singles, DVDs, and four best of collections: SIAM SHADE VIII: B-Side Collection, SIAM SHADE IX: A-Side Collection, the currently out of print and absurdly expensive SIAM SHADE X: Perfect Collection before finally calling it quits after their 2002 tour, and the latest SIAM SHADE XI: COMPLETE BEST ~HEART OF ROCK~ which tracklisting was made out from the favorite songs of all fans, result of an open poll done in their official website.
This last best of was released previously to their One Night Reunion on November 18th, 2007 at the Nippon Budohkan after 5 years of disbanding. The ~HEART OF ROCK~ Live was done as a tribute to their deceased manager Shinichi Nakamura.
They are now back to their own musical projects individually.

SIAM SHADE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
身動きさえも取れないBlack & Black days
何を基準で俺が狂っているのか教こたえてくれよ
Please tell me now?
そんなMoralじゃ 秒読みさ... Dead alive
どうせ線香花火の様に消えちまうなら
Dynamiteを抱いて飛び込むだけさ
Believe me戦う事を恐れていても明日は来ない
Wake up Make up
賭けてみるのさ 一か八かのEscape
You're crazy doctor, break out Crush you in my head
理屈じゃない 未来あしたはGet it f××k out
Doctor! Dead duck doctor無視して
Take away now Take away time on my way
Doctor, break out Crush you in my head
すぐ手に取れそうな明日じゃつまらないぜ
Doctor! Dead duck doctor So busy body
もっと見つめてくれよ 平和ボケしたヤツラだらけさ
Wake up Make up
萎えたMoralがスリルを履き違えて行く
You're crazy doctor, break out Crush you in my head
このままじゃ くだるだけくだるDarkness
Doctor! Dead duck doctor無視して
Take away now Take away time on my way
Doctor, break out Crush you in my head
今ならまだ間に合う Get up my mind
Doctor! Dead duck doctor So busy body
The lyrics of SIAM SHADE's song D.D.D talk about a feeling of being trapped in a society that is controlled by technology and regulations. The singer feels like they are being watched by high-tech surveillance and cannot move freely, leading to "Black & Black days." They are feeling lost and ask for someone to tell them what the standard is for being crazy. Their morals are running out of time, and they are on the edge of being dead or alive.
However, the singer does not want to fade like an incense firework. They want to take a risk and jump in with dynamite. They believe that fear of fighting will not bring tomorrow, and they need to wake up and make up their minds to take a chance on a slim escape. They acknowledge the possibility of failing and losing but decide to bet anyway.
The chorus of the song speaks to a doctor who tries to reason with them. They disregard the doctor's words and accuse them of being too busy and not understanding their situation. In the end, the singer feels that they need to act now and not let the darkness consume them.
