Yes! SIAM SHADE is back... for one night! 
One of my favorite bands when I was still in Philippines, and up until now! I could still remember the first time I came here in Japan really wishing to see them perform live! Unfortunately it was March 10, 2002 (a few months ago before I came here! Awww...) when the JROCK band decided to have there last concert at Tokyo, JAPAN Budoukan Stadium before they parted ways. I was so SAD... but not for long...
Surprising news actually came when SIAM SHADE’s chief manager NAKAMURA Shinichi passed away last April 2007. The group then decided to honor it’s manager for a one-night concert that will be held at Tokyo, JAPAN Budoukan on November 18th, 2007. The concert would be themed as “心からROCK” (Kokoro kara ROCK), which means “Rock from the Heart” or “Heart of Rock”.
Official news came from DAITA, SIAM SHADE’s lead guitarist and one of my guitar influence. I tried to translate one of his blog entry here:
NAKAMURA Shinichi, a man who loved SIAM SHADE more than anyone else and the group’s chief manager who passed away last April 25, 2007 at the age of 49. He doesn’t give up to the very last minute as we witnessed him dwelling with his sickness. The only thing we (SIAM SHADE) can do is to honor no other than “Shinichi ISM”, ROCKing sincerely from our hearts, which continues to live...
From there, it has been decided by SIAM SHADE’s each member with their burning desire to re-form the group that parted ways 5 years-ago for one challenging night to LOVE and ROCK LIVE at Tokyo, JAPAN Budoukan Stadium.
Sunday, November 18, 2007 Tokyo, JAPAN, Nippon Budoukan
We wanted to dedicate this supreme performance on stage to him. This is each member’s desire. One more time, let us encounter it at Tokyo, JAPAN Budoukan.

And I would not miss this event! PROMISE!!! 約束を守る！
Hi, it’s Jale from your last.fm friends (without that sarcastic -sama :))
When I checked DAITA’s page and tumbled across SIAM SHADE and 18.11 I was like woah and got my friend to translate few sentences. Your translation confirms it, thanks. Well, I decided that when SIAM SHADE reunites I’m not going to miss their concert (even if it’s on the other side of the globe, like it is now ;)) so I’m not going to miss it now!
Hi Jale, thanks for dropping by! Sales of ticket would be on October, but I have to call to ask for ticket reservation if any. I’m sure it would be hard to get ticket on October. Price is 6800 YEN (including tax). Hope to see you there!
yo!, thanx for your translation on daita’s message...
anyway are you pinoy?
KR, no prob! Thanks for visiting. And yes I am filipino. ^_~
wow pinoy asteeg!....
salamat ulet...
sana mapanood mu sila ng live,
dala mu ang watawat ng mga pinoy siam shade fans!
thanx again..
Hello! I’m a Siam Shade fan from Malaysia and it excites me to NO END when I heard about the reunion concert. I was literally frozen in front of the monitor when I heard about this ( My DAITA obsessed friend read about this via his site too )
I’m hoping and praying now that international fans can get access to the tickets. I will fly over to Japan for sure to see them live. I can’t believe that it’ll be like a dream come true for me - to be able to see them five as a band together on a same stage again.
and the more reason to have a big union for all siam shade fans around the world to celebrate/anticipate with siam shade’s upcoming heart of rock concert! thank you so much for your news/info, I will make sure to link this somewhere to my shamu love project site: http://kokorokararock.blogspot.com/
