Another About シド

Lead singer Mao has a wide range of vocal techniques; adept at expressing anguish in the medium tempo songs and ballads, he is at the same time able to sing with forceful intonation on the more energetic songs. It is obvious he handles the beautiful and unique melody lines of SID with complete confidence. Mao’s lyrics bring a unique perspective to familiar themes in order to create a worldview that gradually hooks listeners. When some of the band’s heavy songs approach their climax during their shows, he uses his “death voice” to exhibit a stunning presence on the stage.

Guitarist Shinji not only plays the electric guitar but also skillfully manages the acoustic guitar. His guitar playing brings vivid color to the wide scope of SID’s army of songs. The beautiful guitar lines provide much of the basis of one of SID’s attractions: its “anguish,” “sorrow,” and melancholic worldview. Shinji also plays the role of composer, weaving together many of SID’s songs, and he is overall a highly talented guitarist.

Bassist Aki supports the foundation of the band by maintaining a reliable bass line, but he occasionally drifts into melodies to give more depth to the songs. Aki is also known for his aggressive stage act. He is one of the main composers of SID.

Drummer Yuya adapts his drumbeat with precision according to the song, and his playing is ripe with a sense of speed. He projects dynamism to the songs on a grand and breathtaking scale. Yuya’s drumming can exhibit different kinds of expression as it adjusts from up-tempo songs to mellow songs, and even to ballads. His play is emblematic of the shape-shifting nature of SID’s musical style. When he composes, Yuya creates sounds that are highly accented and have a tendency to hook the listener. In many ways he is the band’s “mood maker.”

Each of the members writes their own blog, and Mao and Shinji use Twitter, while Aki maintains a Facebook page. Mao has more than 180,000 Twitter followers, which include fans not only from Japan but also various countries in Asia and South America. There is no shortage of heartfelt comments urging the band to “come play in our country!”

When Aki saw a band perform at school he thought it would be really fun to play in a band, however his mother thought bandmen were a bad influence. They also heavily rejected the idea of him playing the guitar. Later in middle school a friend of his needed a keyboardist and they asked Aki, Aki accepted and this became his first experience of being in a band. In high school he eventually got into the bass because he thought it would be easier to learn than the guitar).

who is シド?

BACKGROUND

SID (シド) was founded in 2003 by vocalist Mao (ex-Shula) and bassist Aki (ex-Ram Rem). They were quickly joined by two support members, guitarist Shinji (ex-Uranus) and drummer Yuuya (ex-Shula). The four of them released the band's first demo CD, Yoshigai Manabu 17-sai (Mushoku) (吉開学 17歳 (無職)), on mini-disc that August and soon after, they signed on with Danger Crue Records.

Though Sid technically began in 2003, the band considers January 14, 2004 the date of their 'birth' as it was announced at their show at the Meguro Rock May Kan that Shinji and Yuuya would be joining as official members. With their line-up now complete, they released their first single "Kaijou-Ban"(会場限定盤) in March before traveling overseas for a two-day performance at the American convention Anime Central in May. The young band made quite an impact, gaining a number of international fans, and they have since expressed their desire to return to America once more.

Sid heated back up in the winter months, releasing their first full album, Renai(レ ンアイ), and taking part in both their label-sponsored 'tenka' event put on every Christmas and the Beauti-Fool's Fest 04 event sponsored by Fool's Mate magazine. They continued to participate in lives and events well into the next year, which included their first one-man tour. The release of their second album followed.

The band started off small, but not without a certain charming flair. Where most bandsmen handed out fliers, they also used megaphones as a means of personal promotion. Despite having only a small collection of songs to offer, they worked relentlessly to produce more. Their releases varied widely in style and composition, and the band made it an obvious goal to appeal to a broad audience - a plan which obviously worked. Sid grew rapidly in their initial years, at a rate which surprised numerous publications and notoriously earned them the title "the monster band of the indie scene".

2006 was a big year for Sid: they broke into the Oricon top ten for the first time with their summer single, "Chapter 1", and they were able to play a one-man at the famous Nippon Budokan live hall. They finished the year with the release of their third album, play, and a new one-man tour that took them throughout Japan. The following year brought a slew of new singles, including September's "Mitsuyubi" (蜜指), which was the band's first to reach the Oricon top five.

In early 2008, Sid announced they would be going major with Sony Records and later put out "Monokuro no Kiss" (モノクロのキス), their debut major single. The single’s title track was used for the opening of anime "Kuroshitsuji" and the release was also available in four versions, one which was a special Kuroshitsuji version featuring the two main characters on a cardboard sleeve. Their debut concert at Nippon Budokan sold out in under two minutes in November 2008.

Their next single, titled "2°C me no kanojo" (2℃目の彼女), came out in January 2009, and three months later "Uso" (嘘) debuted at number two on the Oricon charts and was also used as the 1st ending theme of popular anime "Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" Their other recent releases also seem to be used for popular anime, so anticipate many more songs to be used for original soundtracks. Their first major album, Hikari, was released on July 1, 2009, and will serve as the primary set list for what will be their largest tour to date. Another single named, "One Way" was released on 11. November which reached 3rd in the Oricon Charts.

On March 3, 2010, Sid released their Single "Sleep" and announced their performance at Saitama Super Arena on July 31 in a special CM on TV Asahi program "Ikinari!Ogon Densetsu" on February 11, subsequently selling out 30,000 tickets in just one day.^[1] Sid's newest song is "Rain (レイン)" which is the fifth opening theme and sixth ending theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Released on June 2, 2010, "Rain" ranked No.1 on the Oricon Daily charts on June 4 and 5, marking the first time Sid has ever placed No. 1 on the daily charts. "Rain" is SID's third contribution to the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise, making them one of the two artists contributing more than one song for Fullmetal Alchemist (the other being L'Arc-en-Ciel). However, on the weekly charts "Rain" was ranked No.2. On September 29, 2010 they released a new single titled "Cosmetic" and performed at Tokyo Dome on December 11, 2010. On 2010 December 1 they released a single, "Ranbu no Melody" (乱舞のメロディ) which was used as the 13th opening theme of Bleach from Episodes 292 to 316.

They got the Top Pop Artist Award from Billboard Japan Music Awards 2010 on February 6, 2011. Also they participated in Kuroyume's tribute album which was released on February 9, the song SID will do is "Yasashii Higeki(Tender Tragedy)" a song by Kuroyume that was released in 1995. A DVD with footage from their live at Saitama Super Arena and Tokyo Dome was released and is available in 3D on Blu-ray. The DVD also placed 3rd on Oricon weekly. Their new single single entitled "Itsuka", was followed by another performance at Nipponbudoukan on October 4. Their 7th DVD, SIDNAD Vol.7: dead stock tour 2011 was released on the next day. "Itsuka" reached No. 1 on the daily charts and placed second on the weekly charts.

On December 28, 2011 SID released "Fuyu no Bench". SID performed at the Ontama Carnival on January 29, 2012. Their single "S" was decided to become the theme of Sadako 3D. Also upcoming single "VIP" on 21 November 2012 is set to be the opening theme for the anime adaptation of the manga Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic
