LOL if only it were that simple. But we'll see. Stranger things have happened ; )

SID to perform at Tokyo Dome

Rock band SID will perform their first Tokyo Dome concert on December 11, it has been learned. The band informed their fans during their concert at the Saitama Super Arena on Saturday night.

SID formed in 2003, but they did not make their major label debut until October 2008. They have already ranked in the top ten on the weekly Oricon sales charts several times, and the estimated crowd of 32,000 fans at the Saitama Super Arena shows that they are ready to take on Tokyo Dome next.

In addition to the Tokyo Dome concert, SID announced the release of a new single titled "cosmetic," set for a September 29 release date.

YAY :D :D :D :D :D

can't wait *___*

Great news!

Cosmetic? Are they slowly trying to break the news to fans that Mao had some surgery to look this young? XD

:roflmao

I don't know lmao but I'm going to expect something that's quite glam ala maybe in DAIGO STARDUST mode LOL 8D xD

so it's not released on september 15th after all? maybe now they can get #1? :P

but the title is cool :D i can't wait to hear it! congrats to them for performing at tokyo dome, too! it's a great honor.

it's already confirmed on their website so <3

http://www.sid-web.info/pc_index.html

Haha, well I can't in all honesty say they're that good since I don't know what kind of music they like. I might not be the best to recommend them since I'm beginning to drift away from them slowly, but here are some songs I enjoy:

- RAIN
- Uso
- Mitsuyubi
- Natsukoi
- Alibi
- Chapter 1

They've also got some great album tracks but I'd start with those singles ^^

before they went major , their last indie single Namida no Ondo is also excellent too

I remembered I saw the PV of it last Dec when I was in the hotel room while having my vacation in Macau xD

SID relatively can sell well if you compare them against other jrock bands out there

well they're going to conquer Tokyo Dome in Nov so that's saying something already

another batch of creative covers! i love them! :D

Great, original and simple

wow..tokyo dome that's huge...good luck SID

SID will be featured in this magazine titled JACK IN THE BOX 2010 SUMMER

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/deta...ite=mailmagart

7 sec. preview of "cosmetic":


sounds cool :P

...

omg from that 7 seconds preview , I was like EH , DAIGO☆STARDUST's D☆TRANCE part 2 ? o_O xD

then again it's just a really short preview , so hopefully cosmetic will sound nothing like what I initally thought

i like it, but is a really short preview

Eh? It really doesn't sound that different from their earlier work o.O

haha that's why I said that 7 secs preview of cosmetic so doesn't do justice at all D:

I did have had that vibes of DAIGO☆STARDUST's D☆TRANCE so xD

i really love the cosmetic photoshoot! i can't wait for the PV! :D

The group's bassist Aki was featured in the Sept issue of PATi PATi & I did scans of him from my copy of the magazine

http://img401.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=48850372.jpg

shoot , I never noticed just how @_@ he's until I scanned those pages featuring him



Damn that's so bad ass xD

:freak

that's hot, lol.

cosmetic PV:

(is mao wearing..leggings? skinny jeans? :shrug lol!)

simple PV but the song is great! :D i think "sleep" was the highest budget PV for SID this year, though, lol.

I've never been a fan of SID's PV, so it's no surprise that I don't particularly like this one. Sorry, the gheyness is too much for me to handle XD

But I LOVE LOVE LOVE the song. Their ballads like Uso and Rain are amazing, but THISSSSS is the SID I fell in love with. As a matter of fact, that was three years ago, right around the release of a single called Mitsuyubi XD

what happened with mao again?
oh well, i love the song

:no at Mao AGAIN . Shinji looked fabulous & so hot :luv2

song wise , I feel it's a combination of DAIGO STARDUST's D TRANCE + KAT-TUN's Ueda Tatsuya's RABBIT OR WOLF ? :laugh

cosmetic is nice , SID never fails to disappoint

I need a new album now xD

aki looked better than Rain's PV, but i find yuya (the drummer) to be really good looking! :lech

cosmetic is a short song but it's so catchy! i can't stop watching the PV.

Yeah Aki looked good . I didn't liked those terrible dreadlocks he had in Rain :no

he looked fabulous in cosmetic

funny enough , all except Mao looked really masculine lmao xD

LOL! oh mao! :shakehead it's funny how i finally think i figured out what mao was wearing: skinny jeans! you know he's getting more and more feminine in each PV when i actually want his skinny jeans! :roflmao he's still cute, though.

this little interview with the band is so funny! :mini yuya is so adorable with that "thing" on his head!


mao's FINALLY looking like his gender, i think, LOL.

I kinda like their new song & PV.
(Natsukoi will remain my favourite though :D)

cosmetic is solid , I can't stop listening to it over & over again

the single will be out next Wed & I hope it will do well/fine

I think it's about time they release a new album sooner or later

PV for cosmetic is up for download :)

I think it will get #2 as sleep , one way has gotten the same spot so it wouldn't surprise me

I hope it will sell well , it's a great song & I can't wait to hear the B-sides soon

SID SID SID. Why must you pain yourself so? Of all the weeks in the year you could've gotten a no. 1, you pick opponents like Arashi and Ayu.

It's like they're doing it on purpose and don't WANT a no. 1 XD

lol I pity SID

so far yet so near to get a #1 .__.

I want to throw eggs at their management team at Sony BMG for doing this to them ~_~

What are the odds here for #1? Maybe 50/1 or 60/1? Umm...

~_~

all 3 editions of cosmetic will be released in Taiwan next Fri

I didn't recalled Sony BMG making all 3 editions for Rain so this's good I suppose

I want a new album noowwww

sony really needs to pick better dates, lol. regardless, i'm sure they'll get good sales & cosmetic is still awesome! :D

Ayu's lowest first week so far is 70k. SID's highest so far is 60k. I don't see them being any threat at all XD

8th Single - 乱舞のメロディ
Release date - 1st Dec 2010

http://www.sid-web.info/pc_index.html

WOOT <3

I don't know the Romanji for their new single but the english meaning's Wild Dance Melody

btw B-sides for cosmetic are fantastic ! Suga Soba de is so unusual but yet beautiful (Aki composed it) & live version of Memai is so bad ass !

Thanks so much for the download!

Anyway, yay new single, I guess, but where's out new album SIDamajjig? XD

the guys are long overdue for an album big time

but I just have a feeling it might be out a week after 乱舞のメロディ ?

Considering that they will be performing at the Tokyo Dome on 12th Dec so x)

i'm SO happy for a new single! :weep i totally didn't see that coming, lol.

hopefully the new album will be out in like...january? :shrug

I could see that happening. Releasing these "album teaser" singles seems to become a more popular trend by the day.

woww, another single, first perfume, kana, YUI and now SID
i can't wait!!!
i'm so excited

Umm...another new single already?

like when GLAY put a batch of teasers previews in their Precious single , pertaining to their upcoming 10th self titled album 8D xD

but yeah SID needs to release an album now , enough singles already xD

one way , sleep , Rain , cosmetic & then now 乱舞のメロディ

yep, i really want a new album too, but probably we have to wait to the next year

CDJapan helped me on Twitter in that they told me the Romanji for 乱舞のメロディ is Ranbu no Melody :)

cosmetic is #2 today on the 1st day as expected

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/

13,945 is too low for them X_X , especially since I really enjoyed the whole single .__.

oh well

#2 is good! :)

14k is a bit disappointing, especially considering the really high Ninki. Still, it's not terrible and the single will still sell about the same as their other singles do ^^

cosmetic kinda disappoint me... I still love Rain the best

^I still love Rain too, but cosmetic is not bad

lol for me it was love at 1st hear for cosmetic's case 8D

it's so different from what they usually put out . Shinji is a genius in composing it *__*

It's not really that different though ... It's jazzy rock, which has always been their thing : P

It's AWESOME though, I won't deny that XD

SID always have put out consistently good material to me & cosmetic's not an exception

Suga Soba de is sooooo nice too . Aki composed the melody for it *___*

cosmetic @ HAPPY MUSIC:

omg they all look sooo good! i love aki's haircut :D

Mao's wearing something interesting, as usual, but it's not too bad XD.

I do wish he'd move around a bit more, though, since the song is so bouncy < 3

Good performance, i like it

ranbu no melody will be used as the new opening for BLEACH! :yatta
http://natalie.mu/music/news/38619

it'll start airing on 10/12! i loooove BLEACH's openings, so i'm so glad! even though i don't watch anime, lol.

^me too, my favourite anime is bleach !!!!
I love every opening, i can't wait for the next week for the opening and the song

BREAKERZ's frontman lead singer DAIGO blogged/posted a photo of himself with UVERworld's TAKUYA & Mao earlier on

LOL @ the other 2 doing different versions of DAIGO's WISH rock pose , awesome xD

The header title is Nishikawa's birthday party in that all 3 of them went for abingdon boys school / T.M.Revolution's Takanori's birthday party yesterday which's so nice

but I wait for a full proper translation on this from my friend Nat :)

mao looks kinda...drunk? :laugh i like his star tattoo!

I don't know what's that thing in Mao's mouth LMAO but yeah he looked 1/2 asleep if not 1/2 drunk

his way of doing WISH kinda backfired to me but DAIGO doesn't mind so it's ok hahahaha

An interesting party IMO,
they look drunk

I was told that SID in real life behaved as though they're drunk & that sorta thing :O

anyway 1st week sales for cosmetic

*3　35,360　シド

Not too bad. Just 6k lower from one way and SLEEP.

my friend Nat translated DAIGO's yesterday blog entry where he wrote about meeting Mao , UVERworld's TAKUYA in line with the birthday party of Takanori Nishikawa

cosmetic @ MUSIC JAPAN:

yay still a really catchy song <3

I can't wait to hear Ranbu no Melody now :)

BLEACH opening 13 with ranbu no melody!


sounds pretty cool! i'm excited for the full song! :D

Woww, my favourite song by SID, it's different, it's amazing, so catchy!!!!
I can't wait for the full song
BLEACH + SID = AMAZING OPENING

these guys never disappoint me really . Preview for Ranbu no Melody sounds good

but why I have that abingdon boys school vibes ? O_O'''

LOL maybe cause it's a harder/dark rock sound? or maybe it's the animation from the anime. :P but i see what you mean, karen! lol.

Ranbu no Melody's preview has that very one way vibes which I feel :O

I can understand it's not going to be a cosmetic part 2 but seeing that it's used in Bleach , it fits the theme on where the Bleach producers want

cosmetic @ CDTV:

I have to admit I had never heard of SID before, but I heard them in the bleach opening and I loooove ranbu no melody :heart

cosmetic sounds nice too~ are there any other songs you would recommend?

i only know of their major label songs, since i never heard of their indie songs before. so since they debuted on sony in 2008, i'd recommend listening to their first major studio album, "hikari". and as for this year's singles, try "sleep, "rain", and "one way". i love them all! :D

Uso was the song that got me interested in them

it was used to promote Fullmetal which was done so well/nice

Frankly , I like all of their major labelled stuff . They were indie before but I only heard 1 song during their indie days :O

Monochrome no Kiss
Uso
Rain

Really great songs

Namida no Ondo is the only indie song that I know/like & it's also the last indie no. before they went major with Kioon Records / Sony BMG

They made a PV for it too . I remembered I saw it being played last Dec when I was in the hotel room when I went to Macau for vacation xD

thanks for the suggestions~ ^-^

I had actually heard Monochrome no Kiss in Kuroshitsuji before, but I didn't know it was them XD

uso & one way sound nice too. I'll give hikari (the album) a try now~

Why no love for Mitsuyubi? : o

It's the first song I heared by them and I love it to pieces. My mother also likes it, incidentally XD. It has a similar jazzy-rock style to cosmetic, but is a bit faster.

I love these covers! Cosmetic's were nice as well, just like Rain's, although I feel like Sleep's were a bit subpar.

nice covers! :D nice tracklist as well. i'm so excited for this release!
