DAIGO tweeted this on Ameba's own version of Twitter

Today is Mao-kun' birthday http://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/328.gif Happy birthday-kuraimu http://stat.ameba.jp/blog/ucs/img/char/char2/035.gif " [23-10-10 - 23:02]

so that makes mao...33 now? i think he was 32 last year. he still doesn't look his age, anyway! :laugh happy birthday to him!

yeah Mao turned 33 yesterday

he's 1 year older than DAIGO but still , he looked like a kid to me hahahaha

dammit ~_~

uwa very nice *__* . Finally for once , Mao looks like a guy xD

noooo at Aki ;__; but Shinji looks great <3

at least mao is dressing his gender this time, LOL. :laugh they all look great!!

ranbu no melody PV!! :D

the PV is great! much better than Rain's PV, lol. the song is good in full, too! :D

^thank u very much!!!
amazing pv!
and this is my favourite song !!!!!

the PV's pretty but the song's not as catchy as cosmetic :O

I have to take a few listens to get the hang of Ranbu no Melody but everyone looked good

I had a shock when I saw Aki's hairdo haha . Yuya & Shinji looked awesome & Mao finally doesn't look like a new 1/2 xD

I love this song~! :heart

I made a PV rip if anyone wants it --> MF

^thanks tenshi

Ranbu no Melody's PV can be downloaded here :)

Not as good as cosmetic's, I think, but cosmetic ended up selling less than all their singles since Monochrome no Kiss, so it doesn't mean anything.

They're remarkably stable ^^

#4 is good. hopefully BLEACH will help sales a bit more.

^yes, i hope that!!
i can't wait for the releases, T.M Revolution, SID and miwa the next week, yay!

Ranbu no Melody has hit no. 1 on the Chaku Uta Full chart! Just like cosmetic : D

since Ranbu no Melody has the BLEACH anime tie in (their 1st song to be used for BLEACH somemore) , it should do fine

I need them to release a new album now ~_~

Shinji & Yuya look great as usual ! *O*

wow! i love that little room their in! so creative! :heart

full Ranbu no Melody single is up for download here

great single , the B-sides are >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> over the A-side anytime of the day

Danro's GORGEOUS *_________________________* . Guitarist Shinji did such a great job in composing Danro & so's the live version of Hosoikoe !

Now all the guys need's to release a new album & my life will be complete !

thanks for the single, Karen

Danro is nice & relaxing, but I still prefer ranbu no melody :heart

THANKS FOR THE SINGLE!!!
Danro is good, but i prefer RNM too

SID will perform Ranbu no Melody next Sun (5th Dec) on MUSIC JAPAN

Their sales are pretty good, not a big difference yet

it will be top 10 overall for the guys again & the fact that Ranbu no Melody is being used for BLEACH currently ... they'll be fine anyway :)

ranbu no melody @ HAPPY MUSIC:

Mao blogged that SID participate in the release of Kuroyume's tribute album 「FVCK THE BORDER LINE」*
The song is Yasashii Higeki ("a gentle tragedy") its a single released by Kuroyume in 1995.

He said the song they're covering is one that is important to him and that he has always dreamed of singing this song if there was ever a tribute album made for Kuroyume.



Other artists will also be participating; the Gazette, Plastic Tree and abingdon boys school.


* its actually f U ck but i edited it cos it'd be sensored lol

I never heard of Kuroyume but it sounds really cool from what Mao said

I know SID covered WISH in Luna Sea's tribute album so it seems like another natural thing for the guys to do another cover for another of their fave group(s) which inspired them

nice very nice & LOL @ their tribute album aka F THE BORDER LINE xD :laugh

Kiyoharu from SADS was apart of Kuroyume.


Mao was super happy about this.

I think its really nice that he can achieve his childhood (is teenagehood a word) dreams :)


this is the song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAWi5GKWWuo



Youtube credit: LightAndShadowStory

*has no idea how to post vids* thanks Karen for telling me how to post vids :D


I can't wait to hear SID's version :D

they will conquer another childhood dream this coming Sat when they conquer/whack Tokyo Dome

I'm sure it's most musicians's artiste to do that . UVERworld did that most recently & soon this weekend , it's SID's turn to take the plunge which's great

I want them to release a new album . It will be awesome if they did so at the beginning of 2011 <3

Yes i'm sure they are ery excited for Tokyo Dome

UVERworld staff tweeted that UVERworld have 20 songs in progress for 2011
:banana1


I want a new SID album too!!!

me too ;__; , it's so long overdue from the guys

hikari has 3 singles while their next album , I expect the singles from one way onwards will make the cut

which means that they will have less new material for their album tracks T.T but I really hope that's not the case :O

maybe they're hiding things form us???

I hope they'll have some new material for their album

we just have to wait and see

I thought they might release a new album after cosmetic but I was surprised when Ranbu no Melody came in :x

but luckily , most of their stuff are good . I want to hear more compositions done by guitarist Shinji as I really wonder , is he hanging out with AKIHIDE on the sly ? 8D

Because you hear cosmetic , Danro (Ranbu no Melody's B-side) & then SECRET GIRL

the Jazz influences on both SID & BRZ's is quite obvious isn't it ? 8D

I haven't really paid that much attention to who compose what in the group yet but I think I will do so from now onwards

I think like B'z's Koshi & abingdon boys school's Takanori , Mao is in charge of all lyrics & I don't think he compose anything , well not that I know of :O

So far , the compositions that I know , most of them are done by bassist Aki including Ranbu no Melody

The other 2 do compose but not as much/frequent as Aki it seems :O

hmmm I wonder..
it would be cool to know that they're hangin out together

I'll just go ahead and hope there will not be any NEWS inspired songs born from hanging out with friends though :gnash no offence to NEWS though :innocent


I think Mao is responsible for singing/songwriting , and Aki is their main composer, but the others do compose and have other involvement in song making too.

Mao is chummy with DAIGO . I don't know for the rest of BRZ & SID though :O but it will be damn awesome if both bands can come together to sing/do something , that will be so :D :D :D

xD if you watch Ranbu no Melody PV , it's quite easy to see/watch the other 3 play their instruments as Mao's not really the type of person I want to look again haha D:

Yuya looks like that as so when he plays the drums while Shinji played a mean flying V guitar while Aki's just *__* while he played the bass

I swear prior to the ending of the PV , Aki just looked up to the camera & he had that glare which really reminded me of AKIHIDE in LAST EMOTION/Shakunetsu D:

abingdon boys school will take part in this song, too?! :D

but this is SID's thread, lol, so i'm glad they'll be in this song too!

A bunch of different bands will cover various Kuroyume songs for a Kuroyume tribute album.

I think it'll be a good album
I need to check out theoriginal band and their songs though as I like Kiyoharu but i've not listened to kuroyume that much :(

I know their roles in the band regarding playing/singing, I just don't know about composing and writing

Mao isn't that bad looking
hes cute and 12yrs old
I like his Pigg its cute

http://i52.tinypic.com/15hzh1u.jpg



Apparently the tracklist for that album is

. abingdon boys school / 少年 (Shounen)
. カイキゲッショク (KAIKIGESSHOKU) / MIND BREAKER
. CASCADE / Like @ Angel
. Coldrain / CHANDLER
. the GazettE / C.Y.HEAD
. THE 冠 (THE Kanamuri) / カマキリ (Kamakiri)
. SUNS OWL / FAKE STAR
. SID / 優しい悲劇 (Yasashii Higeki)
. ジルバ (Jitterbug) / Walkin’ on the edge
. NICOTINE / ピストル (Pistol)
. Plastic Tree / MARIA
. 山嵐 (Yama Arashi) / BEAMS

source http://tower.jp/article/news/72653

^Interesting tracklist.
Oh and in the first pic, Mao looks like Ayu XD

omg his Pigg is the same outfit that he wore in the Rain PV

which's something that I still don't know what he's wearing there , is it a kimono or a dress in disguise ? xD

:roflmao

I don't care about the face of a person, thats not why I listen to music
yeah its nice if the artist is good looking but at the end of the day my ears can't see that, I care more about them having talent and a good personality.

His pigg is really cute, He has other versions but, I only took this one,
His clothes are often wtf :shakehead i've no idea what the heck he is wearing.
But thats just what he does.

that's true , I care more about a guy's personality & an artiste's music

no point being the most good looking person but you can't sing to save your life

:roflmao

I think the 1 that's still on the WTF factor is that outfit he wore in Rain . I don't know if that's a kimono or a dress ~_~

cosmetic was equally bad . The shoes he wore , they look like they belong to a ballet dancer haha :laugh

Weekly Sales
#5 SID Ranbu no Melody 37,562
Not bad, but this single deserves sell more

at least it made the top 5, so it's okay! :P

now they need to release a new album to complete things *___*

they already have 5 singles which will make the cut , so no excuses there :grumpy

Yuuya Blog (8th Dec);

A shock has been set up at the rehearsal final day.



frankly、I was expecting something like a surprise the moment i stepped into the studio。


then nothing happened,


well this is important last day, that's probably going to happen after Dome is over.


I thought something like that.


I was surely surprised by timing.

staff 「just in case, we're done with the outlook but is there any other song that is on your mind？」

Mao「because condition of my throat came up rising, somehow I want to sing one more song」


a word that came from him as usual,


happy birthday♪



I was shocked！


everyone thank you！



live, I'll do it perfectly！！



daffunda(・ε・)

I was already crying about being too poor
:weep
Why do more and more things I want have to come out

I want the Blu ray !!! lol

I'm very sure the same thing will happen for dead stock . If so , I just get the CD only because the CD + DVD's of their stuff , they wouldn't include their PVs at all :x

AWESOME! :cool it's about time! the title is crazy, lol, but i love it! :P

can't wait for february!

Yay a new album!!!!!! :luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2

SID announces the release of new album & live DVD + nation tour for 2011!

http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/623...d11600x399.jpg

Visual kei band SID delivered a triple-crown announcement on December 11th about upcoming releases and events during their first live concert at the Tokyo Dome.

They’ve confirmed that they will be releasing their new album “dead stock” on February 23rd, as well as a live DVD titled, “SIDNAD Vol.6 ～LIVE 2010～“, for March 16th. SID will also kick off their nationwide Halls&Arenas tour – “dead stock TOUR 2011” – starting March 1st. Upon receiving the news, the 40,000-member audience screamed enthusiastically with joy.

The new album “dead stock” will have a total of 12 tracks including, “one way“, “sleep“, “rain“, “cosmetic“, and “Ranbu no Melody“; fans have been anxiously awaiting news for their next release, as it’s been a year and 7 months since SID unveiled “hikari“, their first major album. A live document book titled, “SID Live Document Graph 2010″ will also be dropped on the same day as the album.

The live DVD “SIDNAD Vol.6 ～LIVE 2010～” will come out as 2-DVD set, which includes 2 big concerts, “SID Summer Festa 2010” (held at the Saitama Super Arena on July 31st), as well as the December 11th Tokyo Dome concert. A “3-disc” version will be available as well, which adds a 3D viewing experience on a Blu-ray disc.

SID on Dec's cover of PATi PATi

http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9276/neobk879556.jpg

nice hat Shinji xD

Aki looks good in that cover
I think his hair looks better when its styled lke this
or just short

I don't like that hairdo that much on Aki :O , he looked the best in the PV of Ranbu no Melody *____*

Yuya looked good in pretty much all of their PVs haha xD while Shinji's case , I like his hair in black

he looked so old in blonde :x

I saw someone else with that hairstyle but I don't remember who...

Yuuya & Shinji look quite depressing on that cover
then you have Mao with a little smile and Aki looking cute in front of them :laugh

but all I see is Indiana Jones' hat.

:laugh

you know it's funny that I feel Aki looked like ARASHI's Ohno in the Uso PV :O

I think he can carry off blonde hair well , but Shinji looked so old in it lmao when I was watching their sleep PV

Aki looked too beautiful there T.T

I guess you think so becuase of the blonde and spikey, I think they are different tones of blonde though

Yup he looks quite old there, like 40 :innocent
stick to black :yes

Yuya basically looks good everytime I see him xD

Shinji & Aki ? it really depends on their hairstyle haha

Like I dislike it when Aki has dreadlocks if you see him in the PVs of Rain & cosmetic :x but he was *________* in sleep & Ranbu no Melody

Shinji's case , just don't give him blonde hair & he looked great

it's bad that I never said anything about Mao because well he's not my type xD

For me its all about their music,
I don't care how they look
I love Mao's voice
& the things i've read from him have helped me feel so much better.
I just wish I could have had those words when I was younger, as I needed them alot back then... but atleast they can make me feel better.


I really gotta stop saying weird things on the internet :D


I read a concert report from someone yesterday and it sounds like Tokyo Dome was alot of fun
I've seen a few pics of SID cosplayers too :laugh
awesome!!!

omg *___*

yes Aki , your hair should stay in this manner :luv2 :love

Shinji looks great as well :D

I read the shirt didn't stay on
as expected really


& Mao said he liked the cape, he kept running up and down the stage wearing it (during rehearsals I think he meant) :laugh

SID are such dorks, we shouldn't expect anything less

I have the Sept issue of PATi PATi & there's a column on Aki

yeah I know he has piercings & those shots that PATi PATi took on him were 8D :lech :innocent

should I get those scans up & running ?

stupid question , obvious answer haha

:lmfao on what you said about Mao too xD

ranbu no melody @ CDTV:

I saw that before, never thought to share it though :innocent

atleast some people are kind enough to XD

Fools Mate January 2011 scans (only posting the pictures)



sorry about the size :innocent

I love how they are drawn *O*

those upclose shots made me realised that Aki is the only 1 that has all the piercings going on & let alone black fingernails :O

but he still look great haha . Shinji should stick with black hair , he looked terribly old in blonde X_X

Yuya just looks cool everytime I see him xD

I've been stalking again no pun intended
and so bring more scans 8D
These ones were difficult to find :(
which is why they're from so long ago

Mao x Kiyoharu Interview Whats in? August 2010


:thud Kiyoharu x Mao :thud
fangirl mode:ON
its awesome seeing them together, like Yasu x HYDE 8D

Mao looked really like a guy there for once to me xD

It's frankly hard to take him seriously when he wear something like a dress in the PVs for Rain & Uso LOL

Honestly , it's weird that both SID & BREAKERZ share the same stylist so shouldn't Mao be wearing more masculine stuff ? ~_~ I don't even know what he was wearing in cosmetic man & also are those ballet shoes he wore ? xD

Well I dunno about that
Its just a long top
but I prefer him in his clothes i've seen him wear offstage.
But as I've said before, I don't care about clothes nor faces, I care about their music.
SID can wear whatever they want.

it's only for cosmetic , Rain & Uso I have that ~_~ look when I look at Mao xD

he looked quite ok for the other PVs even though I have no idea what was Aki wearing in 2 Dome no Kanojo's PV but he looked great there

Ah I'm still waiting for my SID DVD to arrive from CDJapan but it's not here yet ;__;

I hope I can get it soon

Any of them can wear a bin liner for all I care
I just want them for their music and talent and the personality they show to us.

you know it's funny because when I 1st started listening to SID , I don't really like to put a name with their face , it's only recently things changed since this's 1 group that I really enjoy their music very much

it's weird that Yuya doesn't really change that much from Monochrome no Kiss til Ranbu no Melody & he always look cool to me haha

it's quite hilarious that Shinji & Aki have some hair colour relationship going on as for each PV I watch , Aki always seem to rock a different hairstyle x)

the hair is kinda similar too
yup i'm seeing the similarities XD

xD

yes I know but the similarities draw to an end on that since each Aki plays a different instrument in each group :p

but sorry I couldn't resist doing that earlier on haha

Also if that's not creeping enough , both bands share the same stylist too :O
