In their heyday, LINDBERG typically appealed to the junior high to early high school crowd, and was unique in that in the time of its inception in 1989, few Japanese rock bands were female-fronted. The band retired in 2002 following the marriage of the lead singer, Watase Maki, to the lead guitarist Hirakawa Tatsuya; rounding out the band were bassist Kawazoe Tomohisa and drummer Koyanagi "Cherry" Masanori.
In 2009, they got back together for a 20th anniversary best-of and multiple concerts. In 2014, they got back together once again, and since then have released multiple singles, including one called "Fresh" in 2017, and one called "~Shu~" in 2020.
Kawazoe Tomohisa, one of the bands musicians, became a founding member of another Japanese female-fronted Pop/Rock band, Ai+BAND, in 2003. It has released three albums since then.

Green eyed Monster 誰も逃げられない
HOTなカルチャー 時間が追いかけてくる
かざらない素顔の私でいたい
貧血の体とたたかう月曜日
雨のせいかな頭がガンガン割れそうだよ
ビタミン剤入れた アンジェロのBAG
アレコレ着飾ってくたびれてしまった心
電話でもしようかな田舎の友達に
この街でみんなを狙ってるアイツは
Green eyed Monster お腹すかせてる
リアルなスリル 現実は待ってくれない
想い出さえ すいこまれそうになる
指先でクリックするだけの毎日
仕事は期待も責任もない
ランチにデザートはいつでもウワサ話
適当に相づちうって適当に笑ってる
目を光らせながら狙ってるアイツは
Green eyed Monster 誰も逃げられない
クールなフィーリング ウソついても見栄はっても
この胸には トキメキ隠してる
別にいい加減に生きてるわけじゃないけど
そっと目を閉じても答えが見えないよ
この街でみんなを狙ってるアイツは
Green eyed Monster お腹すかせてる
目を光らせながら狙ってるアイツは
Green eyed Monster 誰も逃げられない
HOT なカルチャー 時間が追いかけてくる
かざらない素顔の私でいたい
The song Green Eyed Monster by LINDBERG reflects the feeling of being watched and targeted by someone, who is represented as a green-eyed monster. The lyrics describe the struggles of everyday life, fighting physical ailments like anemia, and the stress of work. However, amidst all this, the fear of being watched and judged by the green-eyed monster adds another layer of anxiety to the singer's life. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness, where the singer feels trapped and unable to escape from the watchful gaze of the monster, who is always waiting for the next moment of weakness to pounce.
The lyrics also reflect on the fast-paced life of modern society, where people are expected to keep up with the latest trends and culture, regardless of how exhausting it might be. The singer, however, longs for a simpler and more authentic life, where they can be themselves without any pretenses or masks. The lyrics are reflective of the struggle that many people face in modern society, where the pressures of society and the fear of judgment can be overwhelming.
Overall, Green Eyed Monster is a poignant commentary on the pressures of modern life and the constant fear of being watched and judged. It speaks to the anxieties that many people face, especially in a world where social media has made it easier for people to watch and judge others relentlessly.
