They debuted in 1992 with 18ヶ月 (18kagetsu), not an instant hit initially, but their fourth single 上・京・物・語 (Jōkyō Monogatari) broke the top 50 of the Oricon charts. Eventually, シングル ベッド (single bed) got a lot of attention since it was used in the DNA² anime series, breaking into the top 10. The next single ズルい女 (Zurui Onna) also broke into the top 10 and became the 84th best-selling single in Japan of all-time. Furthermore, their 11th single 涙の影 (Namida no Kage) topped the charts in 1996.
The band held an audition on the morning show ASAYAN in 1997 to find a new female vocalist. While the audition eventually yielded winner Heike Michiyo (平家みちよ), the competition would be the impetus for the formation of Morning Musume. (モーニング娘。). Runners-up Yuko Nakazawa, Natsumi Abe, Kaori Iida, Aya Ishiguro, and Asuka Fukuda took up Tsunku's offer after the competition to form a group he would personally produce, if they could sell 50,000 copies of their debut independent single 愛の種 (Ai no Tane).
After the 2000 release of 新 ラーメン大好き小池さんの唄 (Shin Ramen Daisuki Koike-san no Uta), the band went on hiatus. Tsunku now focused on establishing Morning Musume's career and the formation of the famous Hello! Project.
During the end of 2006 and early 2007, Hatake, Makoto and Taisei would frequently appear on the short music show Uta Doki! to play their respective instruments in support of the guest vocalist.
Sharan Q became active again in 2006, having had released a new single entitled 歩いてる (Aruiteru). Tsunku originally wrote and composed the song for Morning Musume., who debuted their recording two weeks before Sharan Q's rendition.

恋をするだけ無駄なんて
シャ乱Q Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
束縛されたくないと言うのに
自由なら自由を持て
余して夜に嘆くね
いつからかすれ違い 君を傷つけ
揺れていた心 自分でなじる
留守番電話にポツリと
サヨナラ君の声が
気付くなんて...
雨の中君の家の扉たたくけど
泣き声のまま「いないヨ」と叫ぶ
Ah 恋なんてするだけ無駄なのか
こんなに君を悲しませ
Ah 奪うだけ 奪い去っただけで
何にも残せずにサヨナラさ
今思えば夕立ちみたく
激しいだけの恋
出会った頃はまさか
別れの時が来るなんて
辛い出来事さえも 思い出となる
これが僕らの成れの果てなの?
Ah 恋なんてするから傷つけて
サヨナラさえも告げられず
Ah 君となら短かった夜も
独りで過ごすには長すぎて
Ah 抱きしめたい 接吻交わしたい
君への想い溢れ出す
Ah 恋なんてするだけ無駄なんて
誰もが僕を止めたけど
Ah 無駄じゃない
そう無駄じゃないけど
もう二度と出来ないよ 恋なんて
The lyrics to シャ乱Q's song 恋をするだけ無駄なんて explore the emotional turmoil of a person who is regretting a failed relationship. The opening lines express a desire for personal freedom, despite the fact that no one wants to be tied down. The singer laments being hurtful towards their partner, and subsequently suffers from inner turmoil, blaming themselves for their feelings of heartbreak. The lyrics reveal how the singer called their ex, only to hear a goodbye message, making them deeply realize how much they miss their former partner. In desperation, they go to their ex's house and pound on the door, only to hear them crying and telling them that they're not home anymore. The singer concludes that even though love seems like a waste, it's the memories and feelings gained through it that makes it worthwhile. The song explores the idea that one must learn to accept the consequences of their actions, even if they have regrets later on.
The use of rain as imagery throughout the song is significant because it represents tears and sadness. The fact that the person is crying on the doorstep also showcases how the emotions of the song run high. The chorus conveys the idea that love can only cause harm, but at the same time, it's something worth experiencing. The contrast between the two points of view is what makes the song relatable for many listeners.
