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.

Keep on Smile
The LINDBERG song "Keep on Smile" is an uplifting anthem about perseverance and hope. The first verse describes a boy who is quietly asleep as the singer watches him. The second verse talks about how the boy always laughs, even when he is sad, and encourages him not to run away from reality. The chorus repeats the phrase "Keep on Smile" as a reminder to stay positive and continue pursuing one's dreams, even if they seem far away and unattainable.
The third verse talks about overcoming challenges and moving toward the light, and the bridge emphasizes that while the singer may not be able to physically help the boy, she will always be there supporting him. The final chorus encourages the boy to grab hold of his dreams and ends with the singer praying for him under the starry sky.
