SID

SID is a prominent Japanese rock band that has captivated audiences since their formation in 2003. Originally starting as an indie band, SID—comprised of Mao (vocalist), Shinji (guitarist), Aki (bassist), and Yuuya (drummer)—quickly rose to fame within the vibrant visual kei scene but has stretched beyond that label to become widely appreciated for their versatile sound. Their music seamlessly blends elements of rock, punk, and pop, encapsulating a style that is distinctly their own.

Celebrated for their energetic live performances and the charisma of frontman Mao, SID has secured a dedicated following both in Japan and internationally. The band has reached significant milestones throughout their career, such as their major debut single "Monochrome no Kiss" which served as the opening theme for the anime "Kuroshitsuji" (Black Butler). Their discography is a testament to their evolution and enduring appeal, with the live albums 'SID 15th Anniversary GRAND FINAL at Yokohama Arena 2019.03.10' and 'SID TOUR 2017 NOMAD at Tokyo International Forum 2017.10.27' capturing the dynamic presence that has been integral to their successful career spanning more than a decade. SID continues to engage fans through live tours, anniversary events, and a consistent output of releases that embody their passion for music and performance.
