The band consists of three people: Masatoshi Nishimura (vocals, bass, keyboards), Wataru Yamada (drums), and Kenji Kitajima (guitar). Each had previously worked separately as session musicians.
When they began playing the hard rock which made full use of electronics, it had a big influence on the music scene of Japan, making them pioneers, somewhat, of the digital hard rock sound throughout Japan.

もっと感じるままに
Oh セイラ 今始まる
新しい story just for you
真夜中の lady 人混みにまぎれ
移り気な steppin' くり返している
強がりの face タフなふりで 踊り明かしても
つかのまの dreamin' かき消されてく
駆けぬけた back street 響くサイレン
おびえた目の少年達 照らしだすライト
ひとにぎりの勇気さえも 失くしそうな夜
Oh セイラ あきらめないで
君の信じた夢
Oh セイラ その想いを
忘れずにいて
Oh セイラ 迷わないで
もっと感じるままに
Oh セイラ 今始まる
新しい story just for you
縛られた freedom つかめないチャンス
摩天楼の影 誰かの sad song
夢のように 流されてく この街の中で
きのうよりも 確かなもの 手に入れるから
Oh セイラ 飾らないで
いつもの素顔のままで
Oh セイラ そのほほえみ
失くさずにいて
Oh セイラ 迷わないで

Oh Sara, don't hesitate,
do as you feel.
Oh Sara, now it begins,
a new story, just for you.
Midnight lady, indistinguishable in the crowd,
repeating frivolous steppin'.
Though your bluffing face pretends to be tough,
even dancing the night away,
your eyes can't disguise a lonely color
Making momentary dreamin' disappear,
a wailing siren driven through a back street.
The light begins to illuminate boys with frightened eyes.
Even a handful of courage might be lost in this night.
Oh Sara, don't give up
the dream you believed in
Oh Sara, please don't cast away
your wishes...
Restricted freedom, an ungrasped chance,
a skyscraper's shadow, someone's sad song.
I was carried away like a dream in this town
to obtain something more certain than yesterday.
Oh Sara, don't decorate yourself,
be [without makeup] as you always are.
Oh Sara,
never lose your smile.
Oh Sara, don't hesitate,
do as you feel.
Oh Sara, now it begins,
an endless story, just for you.
An endless story
Oh Sara
Oh Sara

City Hunter started my love for anime in 2014. Love this song a lot.

@sethawutyoodee8030
Great song. I know this song from City hunter which is one of the most favorite anime of mine and my dad. And Saeba Ryo is the coolest anime character. And his character you will never found in present anime anymore.

When I was a junior high school student, we classmate sang this song in campfire. It makes me get nostalgic. I loved it.
@user-un7tz7ly7f
シティハンターを見ていた当時からサビメロが頭の中にずっと残っていて、久々に聴きました。良い曲です。
@user-bo7dc7gh5y
30年以上経った今でも、色褪せない名曲。
この曲と[STILL LOVE HER]は聴いただけで、懐かしくなり涙が出る。
@user-rr9um5if8t
OPとエンディング神がかってた。
