シドロ喪ドロ「白痴。或いは、痴人の戀。」

Sidro Modro "Hakuchi. Arui wa, chinjin no koi."

I'd like to introduce a band called シドロ喪ドロ(Sidro Modro). The band has written a message for overseas listeners:

Sidro Modro is a rock band based in Tokyo.

The band is notably adorned with white-painted faces (shironuri 白塗り), inspired by a long tradition of Japanese theatrical makeup and underground performance culture. This historical look meets modern-day Japan with the band members dressed in matching student uniforms. 

Sidro Modro's live performances are a ritual that feels strangely familiar, yet quietly unsettling. Featuring a stage decorated with sakura branches, the band's energetic songs are met with fans enthusiastically waving the band's interpretation of the Rising Sun flag; a black sun marked with "喪" (mo "mourning").

Their debut album, "此岸燈奇譚" (shigantoukitan "Strange Tales That Illuminate The World"— this is an unofficial translation) was released on March 28, 2026. Their music draws from Showa-era popular songs, Japanese folk melodies, punk, and progressive rock, yet arrives somewhere none of those labels can fully describe. Laughter and sorrow wear the same expression. Beauty and the grotesque become indistinguishable.

Their lyrics are woven from fragments of old Japanese literature, memories of back alleys, and stories from the margins of society.

Quirky, emotionally rich, and uniquely beautiful; Sidro Modro is a band not easily forgotten.
