SIAM SHADE disbands again
SIAM SHADE was a visual kei band. They were part of the soft visual subgenre. They were active from 1991 to 2016 and are now disbanded.
Source please? I couldn't find reliable information about this, and Aiji was still residing in Nagano at that time. It would have been impossible for him to play in two bands so far apart. It makes more sense that he started to help as a roadie after he moved to Tokyo and joined KALEN in mid to late 1994. Also Aiji's name at that time is read "アイ", not "エイ" as SIAM SHADE's drummer. It would be weird for him to hide that he was a member of such a popular band while recognizing his past in much more obscure bands.
