Siam Shade (stylized as SIAM SHADE) was a five-piece Japanese rock band, which broke onto the visual kei scene alongside a multitude of other artists in the early 1990s. They enjoyed a decade of relative popularity before disbanding in early 2002. On November 18, 2007, they reunited for a concert in honor of their recently deceased manager. On July 17 and October 21, 2011, the band reunited once again for free concerts dedicated to the victims of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Outside Japan, Siam Shade is best known for "1/3 no Junjō na Kanjō", one of the many ending themes of the Rurouni Kenshin anime.

“Be careful about Burma. Most people cannot remember whether it was Siam and has become Thailand, or whether it is now part of Malaysia and should be called Sri Lanka.”

“When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,
I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our father’s knee;
And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
