They are the first all male vocal group to graduate from Okinawa's Actor School which also trained superstars, Namie Amuro, SPEED, and MAX. Debuting on the avex tune sublabel of the indies giant avex trax, DA PUMP was the first "boyband" to successfully penetrate the market monopolized by Johnny's Entertainment.

Famed for their ability in both dancing and singing, and for their good looks, Da Pump's debut as four members, Issa, Ken, Yukinari, and Shinobu, came in 1997 with the song "Feelin' Good - It's PARADISE". The group originally came from Okinawa Actors School but are now part of the Avex Network and are produced by Akio Togashi. Their songs tend to have a quick tempo and often include elements of rap. Da Pump often appears in TV shows, movies, and magazines throughout Japan.

Following a DUI arrest in 2005, Shinobu temporarily suspended all activities from the group. However, on 7 April 2006, he officially announced that he has left the group. The remaining members of DA PUMP will continue on as three. During his leave, he returned to Okinawa and in a letter posted on his management company's website he explained that during his time there he felt an urge to perform the music of the perfecture and with those sentiments decided to leave the group. In December 2008, Yukinari also announced his leaving the group, and within hours, it was announced that Da Pump would add seven new members and become a multimedia entertainment group. In December 2009, Ken left the group to pursue a solo career, leaving Issa as the only remaining member from the groups original lineup.

In mid-2018, Da Pump made their comeback with the song "U.S.A.", which became a smash hit and somewhat popularized the famous dance move created by American rapper Blocboy JB, the Shoot, in Japan, as a result of the music video and choreography using said dance move during the chorus of the song.

From Summer Time...it's All Right...
DA PUMP Lyrics

Yeah, from summer time
Yeah, It's all right (summer time)

日差しがしみる思い出
Lovin' you from summer time 泣いて
くちびるかみしめないでどんな昨日も
It's all right (it's all right, it's all right)

大胆な胸元も
あの夜だからできた kiss にしても

背中に残る日焼けがおまえとの今
証明してる
もういいだろう正直なとこ
認めてもいいだろう
「夏の恋はまがいもの」なんて
言い訳のきかない季節だし
なのになんでおまえはうなずかない?
部屋の前で振り向かずに手を振る?
まるでおまえ愛の深さと傷の深さを
誤解でもしてるよう
Baby なのに受話器をとればいつも
愛しい声世界一愛しい声

せつない夕暮れの風
Lovin' you from summer time 受けて
思いを告げてごらんどんな昨日も
It's all right (it's all right, it's all right)

(Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho!)

簡単な始まりじゃなかった
確かに夏の力を借りたことなら
認めるけどおまえも俺も
震えながらふれあってた
まじだろ俺たち大事だろあの純粋
おまえが見せた泣き顔笑顔
あの瞬間の顔も俺は守りぬくぜ
ちょっと待てよ (な)
行くことはないだろう (な)
もっともっと笑わせて
忘れた言葉 (ロマンス) なんか思いだしたり
ふと気がついたらあさっての
朝になってたりするよな
「恋のあたりまえ」も
俺とならきっと楽しいはずだよ
だからもうなにも恐れないで
おまえ惑わすものにケリつけて
大丈夫だれに文句も言わせない!
頑丈な俺にまかせておけ!
Oh! Baby そうさ受話器でいいから
言ってみろよ
俺が好きだと
俺が必要だと

Oh, oh, oh, oh
もう悩ませないきっと最後の涙にさせる
Tonight, tomorrow 未来も be my lady
答えが見え始めてる
Lovin' you (lovin' you)
From summer time ふたり
あせらず明日を見よう
過ぎた過ちも
It's all right (it's all right, it's all right)

夕暮れの風
Lovin' you (lovin' you)
From summer time 受けて
思いを告げられたから
どんな昨日も
It's all right (it's all right, it's all right)

(Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho! Hey! Ho!)
