M&W is the seventh studio album by Japanese rock band SID, released on August 1, 2012, through Ki/oon Records.

The singles in the album are "Itsuka" (いつか), theme song of television program Countdown TV, "Fuyu no Bench" (冬のベンチ), "Nokoriga" (残り香), theme song of television program Sukkiri! and "S", theme of Sadako 3D film. The title means Men&Women and expresses the relationship between the two. The website CD Journal, in a review of the album, commented that SID leans more towards J-pop than visual kei in this recording.^[1]

A total of 2600 people attended the two shows, while tickets sold out within ten minutes, and around 400 fans met Sid at the airport.^[9]^[8]
