They began activities in 2005 and made their major debut in 2007. In 2015, they composed the music for the film Bakuman., becoming the first rock band to win the Best Music Award at the 39th Japan Academy Film Prize.
Their 2025 release “Kaiju” (theme song for the anime “Chi. - About the Movement of the Earth -”) generated significant buzz, and their subsequent new single ‘Irainai’ has also dominated the top spots on various music streaming charts following “Kaiju.” While receiving critical acclaim for their music, their progressive approach to defining and expressing “the very essence of being a musician” is rapidly gaining support as a new generation of innovators.
