LifeSIAM SHADE
Released in 2001, this is their 14th single.
Among all their singles, it has the longest running time, and its theme of life and death gives it a distinctly sorrowful atmosphere.
The message within its sadness resonates more deeply with each listen, making it one of SHAM SHADE’s finest ballads.
Can’t forget youSIAM SHADE
It’s included on their first major-label release, SHAM SHADE II.
With its intricate guitar riffs, melodic passages, and phrases that lock in with the vocals, it’s the kind of song that probably gave many budding guitarists a real headache when they tried to copy it.

Their 15th single, which reached No.
4 on the charts via wired broadcasts.

In the same year this single was released, they fulfilled a long-held dream by performing live at the Budokan.

Another version of this song was covered by someone named Sebastian Bach in 2010.
From the intro it has a metal vibe and is really cool.

This release is an uplifting song—be sure to listen to it on days when you’re feeling down!
Bloody TrainSIAM SHADE
It’s included on their third major album, “SIAM SHADE IV Zero.” While this song is relatively mid-tempo for SIAM SHADE, its hallmark is how it surges powerfully at the chorus.
In the middle, there’s a definitive guitar solo, and the tight break right before the final chorus is especially cool.
DreamsSIAM SHADE
Released on August 5, 1998, “Dreams” is SIAM SHADE’s eighth single.
The label, as you know, is Sony Music Records.
It was also used as the main theme for Professional Baseball News.
The music video is apparently footage from their recording sessions.
At their breakup concert, the B-side “D.Z.I” was reportedly performed last.
