In 2010, The Movie Archives's Takaaki Shingyoji and Yuki Tanabe formed BRADIO with Soichi Ohyama (ex-GOLD END), Ryosuke Sakai (ex-GOLD END), and Takahiro Kitazawa (ex-Awesome Dude). That same year in December, they released their first demo and played in their first live. In April 2012, they released their second demo. In June 2012, Takahiro left the band and they were left with the current line up.
They signed with D&S RECORDS and released their first mini album, DIAMOND POPS, in October 2013. BRADIO released their second mini album, Swipe Times, in July 2014 under HERO MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT. Their first single Otona Hit Parade/Step In Time was released in November 2014. At the beginning of 2015, their single, Flyers, was used as the opening theme song for the anime Death Parade.

The lyrics to Bradio’s song "Once Again" describe the recurring cycle of life, detailing the ups and downs that one faces while chasing their dreams. The verses explore themes of perseverance and determination, with lines like "Up and down waru agaite bakka" and "Saigo no ichi kai' tte mō nan kai-me da" touching upon the idea that even though one may experience setbacks, quitting should never be an option. The chorus repeats the phrase "Once again," which serves as a reminder to keep striving towards one's goals, despite any obstacles or failures that may arise.
The second verse of the song dives deeper into the struggles of life, as the lyrics ask whether the current moment is one of cold or hot weather, and express a desire to face every tomorrow with a resilient spirit. However, the repetition of the phrase "Once again" assures that the singer is ready to continue pursuing their aspirations. The bridge of the song speaks to the power of dreams and passion, emphasizing the importance of holding onto these feelings in order to continue moving forward.
