The band was formed in 1997 by singer Kumi (born April 11, 1976 in Chiba Prefecture) and guitarist Naoki Sato (born July 21, 1973 in Shizuoka Prefecture), while studying at Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo. They signed with label Victor in 1999.
Their first album, The Greatest Hits, sold over two million copies. Their second album Love Psychedelic Orchestra, released in January 2001, sold 690,000 copies.
They have released four albums since, the last one was Golden Grapefruit, in 2007, and compilation album THIS IS LOVE PSYCHEDELICO, in June 2008.
Style
Stylistically, Love Psychedelico is highly reminiscent of the British Invasion of the late 60s, both members having cited The Beatles and Led Zeppelin as influences, though the influence of American folk and blues are also present (Kumi having claimed Janis Joplin and Sheryl Crow, and Sato Bob Dylan, as influences). To pay tribute to their influences, Love Psychedelico sometimes borrow song titles from the bands that influence them.
Kumi's lyrics are a mix of English and Japanese. Kumi often attributes her skilfulness in the English language to spending much of her early childhood in San Francisco.

夢の溶けだした世界で
遠くに見える僕が空を飛んだ
共に痛みを無くした
僕の胸はただ凍えそうな
歪んだ愛撫は
such a wave of my joy
I just wanna laugh again
時が勝手に奪ってくような
maybe a kind of mistake
病めるように君を抱きしめた
I will be with you,
darling with you
あたしゃalone
ありきたりの旅の果てに
あたしゃhold on me baby
I will be with you,
darling with you
あたしゃalone
夢の続きと愛を君へ
空は嘆いてるばっか
あの日無情なるviolence
甘く身をよじる悪意なんて
I just wanna love again
in other way
胸が勝手にえぐってくような
maybe a kind of mistake
窓辺から君と舞い降りた
love again ...
不可思議なtenderness

They both have dreams for the future, and the singer promises to make this dream a reality with their lover by their side.
