Mao belongs to the band SID which first came together in 2003, when Mao recruited Aki after seeing him play live. He later recruited Yuuya and Shinji from their respective bands to work with Sid part-time as support, and it wasn't until early next year (2004/01/14, making 1/14 the band's official anniversary) that they chose to remain with Sid as official members, leaving the band with a full and lasting lineup.
The band started off small, but not without a certain charming flair. Where most bandmen handed out fliers, they also used megaphones as a means of personal promotion. Despite having only a small collection of songs to offer, they worked relentlessly to produce more. Their releases varied widely in style and composition, and the band made it an obvious goal to appeal to a broad audience - a plan which obviously worked. Sid grew rapidly in their initial years, at a rate which surprised numerous publications and notoriously earned them the title "the monster band of the indie scene".
Sid signed first with Danger Crue records, working with Yasunori Sakurazawa, who aided in the arrangement of many of their early songs. Before long, even at their then indie status, Sid began charting with major releases on Oricon and successfully selling out numerous large venues, Budokan among them. They stood out from their peers with their ever-changing sound and the ease with which they could shift between styles, a characteristic that could describe few other visual kei bands. Their major debut concert was held on November 2nd, 2008 at Nippon Budokan - selling out in under three minutes - and following a final indie tour held within standing live halls all throughout Japan.
Since their major debut, Sid have gone on to release three new singles under Sony, the most recent of which (嘘 [Uso]) ranked in at second on Oricon and landed them a spot on the popular show Music Station for the first time. The song has also been adopted as the first ending to the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Also, their single, (モノクロのキス[Monochrome No Kiss]), which was released in 2008, was used as the opening song for the anime, Kuroshitsuji: Black Butler. Their first major album, 「hikari」, was released on July 1st, 2009, and will serve as the primary set list for what will be their largest tour to date. Another single named, 'One-Way' was released on 11. November which reached 3rd in the Oricon Charts (and which was the title I picked from this fanlisting since that single is strongly related to Mao).

What's a Fanlisting?

A fanlisting is simply an online listing of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are) - they are just a place where you can have your name listed along with other fans of the same subject.
