Currently consisting of 伴都美子 (Tomiko Van, vocalist) and 大渡亮 (Ryo Owatari, guitarist), several of their songs have been used as themes for Japanese television shows, movies, video games, and anime, which gained them a great amount of popularity both in Japan and worldwide.

They were formed in Tokyo in 1999, and debuted as a trio the same year with 長尾大 (Dai Nagao) as composer and leader. In 2003 their greatest hits album Do The Best achieved million sales in Japan.

The group disbanded in September 2005 and performed their last live concert at the Nippon Budokan. Each member moved onto other musical projects: Tomiko Van began a solo career; Ryo Owatari dedicated his time to the 3-piece band Missile Innovation and supporting other bands/artists on guitars; and Dai Nagao continued acting as a composer for various Avex Trax artists.

After 3 years of inactivity, the band announced their comeback on September 29, 2008 (the same day they originally began activities as a band and the same day they disbanded in 2005).

最近どうしたの? 伏し目がちだよ
得意の毒舌も影潜め
世間は理不尽なことばかりでも
弱気じゃ答えすら見つからない

嵐が去った夜は天空いつもより澄んで
瞬く星が投げキッス送ってる僕等に

輝く明日はすぐそこに
鼓動が奇跡を揺り起こす
今すぐ二人で時間とめて
夕日が溶け出す地平線の彼方へ

余計な荷物は捨ててしまおう
ギブソン 1つだけ持っていこう
目的決めないで気ままに行けば
錆びついた運命も廻り出す

予定調和の日々も見かけだけの自由も
渚にすべて流してしまえばいいこのまま

眩しい季節が流れても
変わらぬ想いを抱いていよう
願いの欠片は風の中
少しの勇気でつかめるから

飛ぶことに疲れたら翼休めればいいよ
十分がんばった君を僕等は知っている

輝く明日はすぐそこに
鼓動が奇跡を揺り起こす

今すぐ二人で時間とめて
夕日が溶け出す地平線の彼方へ
