We woke up this morning with rumors from Japan telling us about the definitive return of SIAM SHADE was announced, but it wasn’t until the late afternoon that the official site siamshade.jp (the one we invite you to visit now!) changed completely… it’s official!!! SIAM SHADE has come back!!!
SIAM SHADE will attend 3 Lives this year, 7 years after the loss of SHINICHI “momo-chan” NAKAMURA former manager of the band, hence the tour’s name:「~HEART OF ROCK SEVEN~」; which is conformed by 3 performances between October and November, important date, just in case you have missed it… we are towards the ~20th Anniversary~ of the band.
The tour dates as follow:
SIAM SHADE 「~HEART OF ROCK SEVEN~」 TOUR 2013
October 27th (Sun) Saitama Super Arena 15:30 / 17:00
November 11th (Mon) Zepp Nagoya 18:00 / 19:00
November 17th (Sun) Zepp Namba 16:00 / 17:00
I wouldn’t like to make forward conclusions stating if the comeback is definitive or not, as the members stated in the announcement: “Many things have changed in the heart of each of us in all this time”. Also, the return is made under the SIAM SHADE name and no SIAM SHADE SPIRITS which implies an SME permission.
I leave you with the Tour 2013 presentation video, enjoy!!!
So, we are doing a massive update on the Lives & Streams Calendar for the rest of the year (laughs).
For those of you going to Saitama, don’t forget to attend the SIAM SHADE Special aired on M-ON TV!
淳士 ( JUN-JI ) closes the October month with a Live along Chirolyn (Bassist / Singer / Song-Writer), known for hide with Spread Beaver and GACKTJob.
In november we have DAITA‘s awaited 「DIRECT MANIA Ⅱ」 Live at Nagoya.
DETROX closes the month starting the 「TOUR “V-II” 2011」 celebrating K-A-Z birthday.
遠藤一馬 ( KAZUMA ) opens December participating of DAMIJAW Tour 「Be with You !!!!!」 done for Japan Northeast Area. DAMIJAW is the project of KA-YU, Janne Da Arc‘s bassist.
And we’ll close this year with NATCHIN‘s BIG BITES「クリスマススペシャル」 ( CHRISTMAS SPECIAL )
Confirmed. Natchin is also participating in the New Mini-Album 「SHINE」 M.A.Y feat. HIDEKI, in which he’s the guest bassist in Track #3 「Break new ground」 along with KEN (ex-D-SHADE guitar).
「Break new ground」 was released as a mobile ringtone and is available in that format for the Japanese market.
You can check more info about this Mini-Album here(I) and here(II).
Do not forget that tomorrow, June 14th (Tuesday ), the Livecast from BULL ZEICHEN 88 and NATCHIN will be streamedat 22hrs and 23hrs respectively. You can access them at Livecast.jp.
Sou! Updated the live section for BIG BITES, DETROX, BULL ZEICHEN 88 andDAITA for May and June. I think this will give you a clear panorama over the guys’ activities.
While DETROX tour is reaching its end with a new location added, BULL ZEICHEN 88 starts their Tour 2011 as BIG BITES prepares theirs just after the release of their 1st Album.
I think on updating the calendar every starting month. We don’t have the date of when the SIAM SHADE live will be done, but as far as we know it’s very accurate that the live date could be announced after the Golden Week has concluded in Japan (which makes sense), that is, next week.
Behold! The release of the 1st FULL ALBUM of BIG BITES entitled 「Lion」. Programmed for June 8th (Wed) , this long awaited album from the 3 year old band carries a variety of 9 songs! Description as follows:
From the past post about the other members, we were lacking info on Natchin, who finally post on his blog, thanks a lot to Aya (@TacitAbyssinian) who let us know about it. He mentioned about what a big earthquake it was. That for a situation like this one, he didn’t think anything would be prepared enough as the it was only panic and nothing could be found. However, he managed to handle it the most calm he could. Everyone (his family I think) is ok. And that his wish was that the damage wasn’t that great…
