The band created music that reflected the contrasts of nobility/vulgarity, impurity/innocence and sweetness/sanity. They released their first single "Atashi no Shinzou Ageru" exclusively in the Kyushu area on December 12th, 2012. They ranked #14 on the nationwide Indies chart and #1 on the Yusen Indies chart. The same single then became available nationwide on 1/8/2013. They continued to rank within top 20 on Oricon Indies Chart for 10 consecutive weeks and were chosen as one of the most potential artists under the category "New Artist 2013" for iTunes. Two months after the release of their second single "Hasami", the band decided to disband. Kenji and Satoshi left the band and it was announced in early 2014 that vocalist Kuroki Nagisa would continue on under the band's name (as is her own) as a solo artist.

革命
黒木渚 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
女でいるには強すぎた でも裸の足は震えた
つまずいたって しくじったって 目指す場所は確かに
最後の最後でロザリオに奇跡など望んでしまえば
最後の最後であきらめた自分の罪を知る
右目には冒険が宿り 左目は未来を見る
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
右手には情熱を掲げ 左手で君の手を引く
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
1人で行くには遠すぎた でも裸の足は歩いた
すり減ったって 険しくたって 目指す場所は確かに
痛みが分かると言うなら トドメを刺す気でゆかねば
戸惑いは切り捨てよ
最後の最後でロザリオに奇跡など望んでしまえば
最後の最後であきらめた自分の罪を知る
右目には冒険が宿り 左目は未来を見る
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
右手には情熱を掲げ 左手で君の手を引く
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
散るとしても 生き急ぐ
追い風よ もっと強く吹け!
右目には冒険が宿り 左目は未来を見る
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
右目には冒険が宿り 左目は未来を見る
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
右手には情熱を掲げ 左手で君の手を引く
剣を振りかざし 百年戦争だって気高く生きよ
気高く生きよ 気高く生きよ

The song culminates in the lines "最後の最後でロザリオに奇跡など望んでしまえば/最後の最後であきらめた自分の罪を知る" (If you hope for a miracle in the end, in the end you'll know the sin of giving up.) reminding the listener that even if they dream big, it is always important to maintain one's composure and not give up.
Overall, the lyrics of 革命 (Kakumei/Revolution) serve as a powerful message of courage and remind the listener that even in difficult times, they should strive to live with nobility and pursue their dreams.
