Half-men, half-wolves, the 5 members have taken the world by storm since they entered the underground rock network. The band was signed by a major label in 2011. From then on, they became a real phenomenon: their album and concert tickets almost immediately sell out. 2011 was a pivotal year for the band who participated in SUMMER SONIC 2011 and other festivals as well, like CDJ11/12 and Radiocrazy.

From their "bio:" As the world is coming to an end, Professor Jimi Hendrix, a genius scientist from Electric Ladyland finds the result of his mad research: the ultimate life form, MAN WITH A MISSION (MWAM).

Are they men or wolves? Beyond their funny appearance, these beings are gifted with superhuman brains and bodies. From this moment on, MWAM is behind all the crimes of this world, which made their creator freeze them in ice. Set free by global warming, they’re back, traveling the world looking for new missions. For good or evil, nobody knows yet.

ニュートラルコーナー

ヒマ持て余す
僕はまた間違えているようだ
『正しく』とは何
またもやはき違えているそうだ

短くもそう、激しく

花火のように輝いてみせるよ、と
魂を今焦がす

ありのままの心をこの手に入れる日が来る事信じて
在りし日々の思ひ出はよそに振り返らずに駆け抜けてく

夜の散歩道
吐息の白さに月が隠れる
真似事のNight Swimming
でも彼になれないのは知っている

手を広げ空を抱く
あの月のように染まらずにいれたら、と
溢れ出しこみ上げる

ありのままの『自分』というものに逢える日が来る事信じて
淡い日々の思ひ出横目に振り返らずに駆け抜けてく

魂焦がしてまだ行けるよね?
道半ばだと言い聞かせる
『哀しみ』だとか『虚しさ』だとか
全て受け止め駆け抜けてく

ありのままの心をこの手に入れる日が来る事信じて
在りし日々の思ひ出はよそに振り返らずに駆け抜けてく
