After touring with Kiss during the Love Gun tour, but receiving little airplay, the group then dissolved.

A move to Tokyo was followed by the release of their first single on Yupiteru Records, thanks to original guitarist Yuji Suzuki who had become an A&R man for the label. Citing British bands like Wishbone Ash and Camel as influences, Yamamoto and Piper nevertheless conjured up classic American sounds on Piperβs recordings, utilizing unusual recording techniques and new technologies like Linn drums to effortlessly blend styles of funk, soul and fusion and simultaneously evoking summer vibes, autumnal breezes, and wintery shimmer. The group reunited in 2018 and performed in Blues Alley in Tokyo in 2019 and at Rock Joint GB in 2020.

I see you walkin...on a sunny day out on central park avenue
And the look in your eye tells me, girl - you're out there lookin for somebody
new Ain't the first time you kept me waitin here
Ain't the first time I've been alone, oh no
The way that you been treatin me - so downright mean and lowly
I should be mighty glad you're gone
What's it take for you to see the man in me
Anyday - I'llwalk right out that door
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I'll say bye bye
Anyday - and leave you to your own
But each and every time you say "I'm sorry"
Girl you know I try my best to believe it's true
But what then would you expect now babe
From a poor lonely boy who's so strung out on you
Lord only knows I tried a thousand times before
Someday soon I'm gonna walk right out that door
Anyday - I'll pack my bags on you
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I'll say bye bye
Anyday - and leave you to your own
But each and every time you say "I'm sorry"
Girl you know I try my best to believe it's true
But what then would you expect now babe
From a poor lonely boy who's so strung out on you
Lord only knows I tried a thousand times before
Someday soon I'm gonna walk right out that door
Anyday - I'm gonna pack my bags
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I 'll bye bye, bye bye babe
Anyday - now I've had about all I can take from you, woman
Throw me down, step on my face, slander my name all over the place
But take it easy child, I ain't lying
And I'm ready
Oh, I'm ready, ready
The lyrics of Piper's song "Anyday" tell the story of a man who is frustrated with his current relationship. He sees his partner walking on a sunny day, looking for someone new. Despite feeling hurt and mistreated, he cannot bring himself to leave her completely. He tries hard to make her see him as a man and to love him but she keeps hurting him. He wishes to leave her and the past behind, but every time she apologizes, he tries to believe her and gives her another chance. However, he acknowledges that he is a poor, lonely boy, strung out on her, and knows that he has tried many times before to leave. The song ends with the man packing his bags, saying goodbye, and leaving his partner behind.
The song presents a relatable theme of trying to hold on to a relationship despite knowing deep down that it is not working. The lyrics are poignant and emotional, using metaphorical references to describe the pain and hurt that the singer feels due to the actions of his partner. The song's structure is straightforward, employing a repetitive chorus that adds to the overall emotional impact of the lyrics.
