ACID is a Japanese rock band originally created by Hideki after Siam Shade disbanded.

In the beginning, Hideki had a huge influence on ACID and they played a hard mix of new rock and emocore with heavy emphasis placed on his and Junpei's twin vocals. After he left the band, their songs became less focused on vocals and turned a bit more pop-ish, but still kept their “heavy” sound due to having three guitarists.

ACID formed in August 2003 through auditions held by Hideki. Their live program was made up of both of Hideki’s solo albums at the beginning and, after one year of excessive touring through Japan, the group went into studio at the end of 2004 to record their “own” first album album. “ACID 1.5~Punk Drunker~” was released in March 2005.

With the end of Siam Shade, Hideki had finished a part of his life and didn’t want the people to always compare his new band with the old one when he was singing. That’s why he drew back to the position behind the keyboard at first and later on left ACID completely in June 2005 so that the band were able to go their own way. Furthermore, he says that this group is his pride and that he’d like to see them in Tokyo Dome one day.
