Compared to BLANKEY JET CITY’s often aggressive rock sound, SHERBETS musical approach is generally of much calmer nature. While their music is centered around Asai’s guitar and voice, Fucci’s keyboard and backing vocals are just as integral to the band’s distinctive sound. Asai writes all of the band’s lyrics, and often portrays dreamy landscapes akin to the ones displayed by his many paintings and illustrations.
In May 2011, it was announced that the band would cease activities after the release of one final album – titled "FREE" – in July of the same year. In the announcement, Asai stated that it was dubious that the four members would perform together in the future. A few days later, another announcement made it clear that the band members had changed their minds, and decided not to disband after all. An interview later revealed that there had been tension within the band related to Asai's decision to focus on his garage rock project PONTIACS.

SHERBETS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was there in Galveston
I first saw her there
She sure was doin′ it up
Undoing her hair
It's a murky old blue world
Murky old blue world
She'd be a can do girl
Out here you feel ever mile
You feel ever yard
Leaving love alone
I've been kicking myself
And I′ve been kicking hard
Flashing a pan
Making such a blue swirl
She was my can do girl
She was my can do girl
Can do
Man I was feeling half past gone
When we hit Livingston
Finding her there at the counter
Of the TTT
Flashing a pan
Making such a beautiful blue swirl
She′d be a can do girl
My can do girl
My can do girl
The lyrics to SHERBETS's song "760" tell a story of a memorable encounter in Galveston.

As the song progresses, the narrative takes us to Livingston, where the singer unexpectedly finds the woman at a counter in the TTT. This encounter reaffirms their admiration for her, seeing her as a striking presence in their life. The repetition of "flashing a pan, making such a beautiful blue swirl" could symbolize her ability to create positive change and excitement wherever she goes.
