She was originally awarded the runner up prize for the Starlight Auditions in 2000 out of 1,000 entrants (The winner of this competition was the vocalist for the popular band w-inds., Tachibana Keita.)

The band's first two singles, Raspberry Pie and Whatever (used as the opening act for Odaiba Gakuen's Culture Festival on April 29, 2005), both charted around the #37 position on Oricon charts. However, in October of 2005 there was a member line-up change as the second guitarist Tomoe decided that she would leave the band so she could focus on entering university.

This was followed up a month later with the band releasing their more successful single Oh My Darlin' (it reached #22 on the charts), then two months later releasing their similarly titled debut album, OH MY DARLIN' ~Girls having Fun~. Suprisingly, despite the low sales for the band's singles, the album reached a position of #9 on Oricon charts.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

イソブラボー　イソブラボー
イソブラボー　イソブラボー
イソブラボー　イソブラボー
イソブラボー　イソブラボー
まだ薄暗いうちに
いそいそ出かけて行く　ラララ
眠る街に　小さく口笛
足取りも軽くなる

いぼいぼの磯プーツ　ラララ
どうですか　いいですか
今日は何が釣れてますか
釣り竿肩にイソブラボー
希望を胸にイソブラボー
魚はどこだ　ぼくはここだよ
イソブラボー　イソブラボー
イソブラボー　イソブラボー

幸せ釣リで　にぎわう磯場
逃がした魚は大きいぞ
となりの磯は青く見える
釣り竿肩にイソブラボー
希望を胸にイソブラボー
魚はどこだ　ぼくはここだよ
イソブラボー　イソプラボー
イソブラボー　イソブラボー

イソブラボー　イソブラボー
イソブラボー　イソブラボー･･･
