ex-Bassist of Sads

* Tanuma is the bassist of SOUP. He left Sads after the UK tour.

*Sads is formed by kiyoharu, vocal of the disbanded Kuroyume. 99.1.29 is a tragic day for Kuroyume's fans, but kiyoharu is now on the stage again. Kiyoharu formed "Sads" in 99.5, together with his own new label "FULL FACE". The name "Sads", as mentioned by kiyoharu, has no special meaning. Surprisingly, Sads's first live tour in 99.6 was not held in Japan; instead, it was held in United Kingdom, thousands of miles away from Japan. Kiyoharu said it was to test Sads' ability to compete in the world level. Sads' debut maxi single "TOKYO" was released on 99.7.7. Bringing the tradition of kuroyume, Sads is a band heavily based on lives. You cannot feel their full power unless you have seen their live performances.
Their official fanclub is called "RUBBERSOLE".
