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.

Itsudatte sou sa "reisei" ga uri datta no ni
Ah ai mo nai sou kibou mo nai kedo ne akiramerarenai

Koi datte benkyou sa tatoe HAME wo hazushite mo Baby
Love desire

I can't stand baby!

The lyrics of Love Vampire by SIAM SHADE revolve around the theme of intense desire and submission in love. The singer talks about how his heart races uncontrollably even though he tries to remain calm and composed. He also talks about the lack of love and hope in his life, but he cannot give up on love. The chorus talks about how the person is willing to be Restrictive and submissive, and how he desires to be treated as a love slave. He craves the self-gratification that comes with a loving and dominant partner.
The lyrics also hint at the intense pleasure that comes with being controlled and dominated by a partner. The singer wants to feel the rush of emotions and the pleasure of submission, and he seems to enjoy the feeling of losing control. The lyrics are suggestive of a BDSM relationship, where one partner dominates while the other submits, as the singer talks about being a love slave and craving restriction. In the end, he invites the other person to control him to the fullest extent and make him surrender, making him go crazy with desire.
