They have constantly been both praised and critisized for sounding very similar to JUDY AND MARY, especially in their early work.
In June 2003 it was announced that the band would be taking a short break, but in September of the same year, it was admitted that the band activity had stopped completely after it had been revealed that guitarist Naoki was under trial for several rape and obscenity charges. This caused the band to break up on March 4th 2004, placing a message on their (now defunct) website.
After the break-up, Tama reformed The Screaming Frogs.

Onaji kimochi de wa irenakute
Toki ni wa ningen wa sunao ni narenakute
Hontou no kimochi sae ienakute
Ano koro to chigau keshiki to onaji dake
Mawaru sekai de boku mo kawatta
Mae dake miteru kara tsurai n da
Tatoeba mimimoto de iron na koto iwaretemo
Warui koto bakka ki ni suru kara tsurai n da
Boku ga warau to minna mo warau kara
Furimuite koko ni kaettekoyou
Tanoshii yume o mirenaku naru mae ni
Subarashii kono basho ni shirushi o tsukete
Sutaato shiyou wasurenaide
Reset me zero ni modoshitara
Mata tsugi no ichi wo sagasou
Tsubutta hitomi de mieru mono
Wasurezu ni zutto totte okou
Dare demo fukanzen dare demo dekisokonai
Sore demo isshokenmei senobi o shiteru
Boku ga kawaru to minna mo kawaru kara
Tachidomaranai yo ippo susumou
Otona ni nattemo wasurenai you ni
Subarashii kono basho ni shirushi o tsukete
Sutaato shiyou mata aeru you ni
Reset me zero ni modoshite yo
Sabitsukisou na kokoro kara
Utatteru koe ga kikoetara
Sukoshi dake hari susumerya ii
Reset me nani hitotsu kazarazu ni
Namida nagashite arattara
Sunda hitomi ni utsuru mono
Subete kagayaku takaramono
The lyrics of Hysteric Blue's song Reset Me describe the feeling of wanting to start over completely and forget about the past. The first verse goes through some of the struggles of being human, stating that sometimes people forget who they are or can't express their true feelings. Despite all of this, the chorus paints a message of hope, saying that if they reset themselves to zero and start over, they can find a new path forward.
The second verse touches on the theme of perception, stating that even though their surroundings may change, the person themselves also change with the world. The examples given, such as looking at a high wall or hearing bad news, demonstrate how the subjectivity of these experiences can make it difficult to see the positive side of things. However, the song returns to a positive message in the bridge, stating that although it's a challenge to keep pressing forward, they must keep striving for progress no matter what.
Overall, the lyrics of Reset Me call to mind the desire to move forward and keep pushing despite the difficulties of life. The song acknowledges the challenges of being human and the difficulties of change, but ultimately offers a hopeful message of starting anew and always striving for growth.
