The original lineup consisted of Ayanokouji Shou (Show) on vocals and guitar, Saotome Hikaru (Hikaru) on bass and Shiratori Yukinojo (Yukki) on drums. They were soon joined by Hoshi Grandmarnier (Ranma) on guitar, then Saionji Hitomi (Tommy) also on guitar, at which point Show dropped his role of guitarist. With the final addition of Shiratori Shouchikubai (Matsu) as bassist, Hikaru developed his current role of dancer and the lineup of Kishidan that still exists today was complete.
The band professes to a Peter Pan complex and all claim to be eternal teenagers. Kishidan is famed for their extraordinary performances, frequently including both musical and non-musical solo performances by the members such as juggling, swordfighting and Elvis impersonations.
In early 2002, Kishidan appeared as themselves in episode 7 of the jdorama Kisarazu Cat's Eye and in 2003 in the Kisarazu Cat's Eye movie Nihon Series.

French translation of the lyrics :
Plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, plus, …
Endiablé, Japon endiablé pour toujours
Le déclic c’est ton sourire
Illuminons le monde de la splendeur du pays du soleil levant
Mes amis qui fumez à l’autre bout de la pièce (Yes Future !)
Endiablé, Japon endiablé pour toujours
Le déclic ce sont tes larmes
Le cœur frissonnant ! Aussi brûlant qu’une fournaise !
Afin de vivre sans jamais nous incliner
Un truc comme l’Histoire, je m’en fous
Les adultes comme les enfants, je m’en fous
La guerre, les dieux, je m’en fous
Jusqu’au jour où nos chemins se croisent enfin
Ce n’est pas que le problème des autres, et je suis un connard qui se mêle de tout
Ce sourire pudibond ne m’embrouillera pas
Si l’amour ne peut sauver ce pays
Rugir est tout ce qu’il nous reste, mes amis
Plus, plus, plus, plus, …
Endiablé, Japon endiablé pour toujours
Le déclic c’est ton sourire
Illuminons le monde de la splendeur du pays du soleil levant
Mes adelphes qui fumez à l’autre bout de la pièce (Yes Future !)
Endiablé, Japon endiablé pour toujours
Le déclic ce sont tes larmes
Le cœur frissonnant ! Aussi brûlant qu’une fournaise !
Afin de vivre sans jamais nous incliner
Même si je me réincarne, je ferai tout pour te retrouver
Et te serrer dans mes bras sous le drapeau national
Ce pays que l’amour ne peut sauver
Est juste fantaisiste, mes amis
Papa, Maman, merci,
A partir de maintenant, c’est notre tour
Notre fraîche génération ne peut qu’aimer
Le vent divin nous apporte une lettre d’amour de là-bas (Yes Japan !)
Endiablé, Japon endiablé pour toujours
Il est temps de devenir des héros
Le cœur frissonnant ! Aussi brûlant qu’une fournaise !
Afin de vivre sans jamais nous incliner
