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 ↴
お前がどんな暗がりに
迷い込んでも月の様に
振り向かずに
この瞬間だけを感じていよう
痛い程に強く抱き締め合えたなら
過去の痛みも消えるはずさ
失くした現状は胸に焼き付け
泣けるだけ泣けば良い
だから堪えないで
涸れるまで泣けば良いだから
そのドレスは破り捨てて
煽動夜響く時間を刻む音
耳を塞がずに捨ててしまえばいい
今は二人の世界
お前が太陽で俺が月なんだ
夜明けは二人で決めればいい
泣けるだけ泣けばいいだから
堪えないで
涸れるまで泣けばいいだから
俺の中で
I just want your right
泣き崩れて行く細い肩を
I just hold you tight
堅く抱きしめて終わりの無い
夢に目覚めて
泣けるだけ泣けばいいだから
堪えないで
涸れるまで泣けばいいだから
俺の中で
泣けるだけ泣けばいいだから
閉ざさないで
涸れるまで泣けばいいだから
その心を
I just want your right
暗闇に溶けた月明かりを
I just hold you tight
感じ取れるなら
そっと手繰り寄せてくれ
今は何も言うことは無い
お前のただ側に居たい
どんな夜もどんな朝も絶えず照らす
月の様に

栄喜さん雑誌のインタビューで確か「この演奏に見合う歌を歌うにはあえて演奏を聴きすぎないようにして常に頭の中にクリックを鳴らすような感覚にしてる。そうじゃないと一回ミスったらもう追いつけない」みたいなことを言ってた気が。
どのアルバムもすごいけどやっぱりⅥの緻密なこだわりは本当にすごい
