In 1997, Shadow recorded their first demos with the following members:- Yoshio Kudo (bass) - Yuichi Sumimoto (guitar) - Shinichiro Okada (guitar) - Mitsuhiro Emomoto (drums).
Without a vocalist of their own, Shadow hired a session singer to record their first demos. After distributing the demos worldwide, Shadow released their first album Shadow, under Spikefarm Records. At that point, female vocalist Tokiko Shimamoto (who is known as one of the hardest female singers) joined Shadow.
Century Media was responsible for the release in Europe and America. Their second full length album, Forever Chaos, is due for release on November 5th, 2008.

Shadow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I finally realized
That what we have, this thing
Well, it's all just been a lie
I'm tired of wasting so much time
Living a life, that you've left behind
Like Watching a car crash happening in half time
Like the twist of a very dull knife
I'll finally take the hint, and move on with life
These lyrics are from Shadow's song "Get it in". They reflect the realization that the singer has that they have been living a life that has been a lie. They have finally come to terms with the fact that what they thought they had with someone was never real, and they have been wasting their time. The imagery used in the lyrics is visceral and intense. The singer compares their situation to a slow-motion car crash or a stinging lash in their eye. The pain is constant and unrelenting, but they have finally decided to move on with their life.

These years have passed by
Time has passed quickly
And I finally realized
I have come to a sudden awareness
That what we have, this thing
This relationship we had
Well, it's all just been a lie
Was not real or trustworthy
I'm tired of wasting so much time
I am exhausted from wasting time
Living a life, that you've left behind
Stuck in a life that has been abandoned
Like watching a car crash happening in half time
Observed a catastrophe occur gradually
Or the loose lash that's stinging in the corner of my eye
Similar to the discomfort of a foreign object in one's eye
Like the twist of a very dull knife
Enduring a slow, painful process
I'll finally take the hint, and move on with life
I will ultimately understand and move forward with life

Diamond stated during an interview that they tried some disco tunes once but that it was boring for a drummer because the beat was simplistic. He preferred funk. He could have been referring to this particular track.
James Keno
Interesting... His brother Kenny played on this album.
