Sads was a Japanese post-punk band formed in 1999. The band made its debut with the single "Tokyo". The band released eleven singles and seven albums before its disbandment in 2003.
Sads was formed by Kiyoharu, vocalist of the disbanded Kuroyume, in May 1999 and at the same time formed his own record label "Full Face". Their first live tour was held in the United Kingdom as opposed to Japan. Kiyoharu has said that the decision to tour internationally from the very beginning was to test Sads' ability to "compete worldwide".
Their official fanclub is called "Rubbersole".
