Hideki (15) and Natin (16) meet and decide to form a band, but it breaks up.
Hideki convinces Natin to take part in his band, the Power. During a concert they meet Kazuma, member of the band 50/50.
Two members of the Power leave the band. Hideki and Natin asks Daita, who already knew Natin, to join the band. Unfortunately, Daita soon leaves the band and Hideki (known as Chack) and Natin decide to form a new band: Atae:ru. Shortly afterwards they meet Junji, member of the Nerve.
A joins the Atae:ru as drummer, but they need a guitarist. Chack asks Kazuma if he wants to join the group and Kazuma accepts.
The Atae:ru realize a demo-tape in May 1993, but before selling it they decide to change their name into Siam Shade. One of the guitarists, Ataru, leaves the group, so Siam Shade asks Daita to join the band. Daita accepts, even if he doesn't want to stay for a long time, because of different musical preference. Junji's band, the Nerve, and the Siam Shade meet each others during a concert. Shortly afterwards, Daita decides to join officially the band.
The Nerve breaks up. The Siam Shade need again a drummer and asks Junji to join. Junji accepts.
