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.

or subtle shade of lowered eye-lid
or eye-lids half-raised.”
