Ippu-Do debuted in 1980 with the new wave-influenced Normal, on which the trio (Tsuchiya on vocals and guitar, Akira Mitake on keyboards, and Shoji Fujii on drums) sound a little like a Nipponese version of New Musik or Split Enz. The trio quickly followed this with Real, which was more of the same, but 1981's Radio Fantasy (the trio's first release outside of Japan) was almost completely electronic. The group went on hiatus after that release, with Tsuchiya beginning his solo career and his temporary membership in Japan. A best-of disc, Lunatic Menu, was released in 1982 in Japan and the U.K.
When Ippu-Do reappeared in late 1983, they were reduced to a duo of Tsuchiya and Mitake. Supported by drummer Steve Jansen and keyboardist Richard Barbieri of Japan and American bassist Percy Jones, the duo recorded the danceable Night Mirage, a supple blend of Japan's crystalline sound with some surprising R&B and funk rhythms. A two-disc live set with this lineup, Live and Zen, came out in 1984, but Tuschiya returned to his solo career at that point, bidding farewell to Ippu-Do with a well-chosen compilation in 1985. An expanded compilation, The Very Best of Ippu-Do, came out in 1998.

直觉 你是我想拥有的一切
我想融化你的美 陪着你直到入睡
Oh My Girl 我舍不得闭上眼
你从此不用再害怕天黑 我做你的堡垒
看星星都变成了一种点缀
我围绕着你的眼光
圈在我的心中央
我拥抱着你的眼光
看你微笑的模样
你就住在我的左心房
只为了你疯狂
侧脸 你最迷人的弧线

我拥抱着你的眼光
看你微笑的模样
你就住在我的左心房
只为了你疯狂
