The band was born out of Tokyo's club scene, when Shacho and Tabu Zombie started including live jam sessions in DJ sets. Gradually the other members were invited, the band line up was finalised and the DJ sets dropped.
The band's adrenalin-fuelled live sets started to create a buzz on the Tokyo live scene, and in 2003 they became the first unsigned band to perform at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival. They were well received there and in the following months record companies were scrambling to offer contracts. JVC Victor won the battle, and summer 2004 saw the release of the mini-album "Pimpin'".
The album was a critical and, for a jazz release, commercial success, and this together with constant touring paved the way for the release of their first full album, "Pimp Master" in early 2005. The album captures the sheer power of their live performances as well as higlighting their individual musical talents. Two tracks in particular, "Waltz For Goddess" and their cover of "A Wheel Within a Wheel", caught the attention of DJs abroad, they began to receive heavy air-play on Gilles Peterson's Worldwide radio program on BBC Radio 1 in the U.K.
Summer 2005 was a busy time for the band, with the release of their second mini-album, "Summer Goddess", and their first live dates outside Japan. Gilles Peterson invited them to play at Cargo in London, and Jazzanova invited them to play in Berlin.
They spent the rest of the year, touring in Japan and Europe, and they were also featured in the live broadcast of the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Awards in 2005, where they were awarded the John Peel Play More Jazz Award.
A second full album, "Pimp of the Year", was released in spring 2006, showcasing sounds that showed a development of their sound, as well as one or two tracks that marked a new departure.
2006 has also seen the official release of "Pimp Master" in Europe on Compost Records and the UK on Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label. They have continued touring constantly throughout the year, taking in Britain, Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Slovakia and Croatia, as well as an appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival.
March 2007 saw the release of their third full album, "PIMPOINT", under the Victor Entertainment label, the album features thirteen solid tracks that follow suit with SOIL & "PIMP" SESSIONS unique heavy jazz sound.
Soil & "Pimp" Sessions' song "Paraiso" is the opening theme for the anime Michiko to Hatchin.
A side project, called "J.A.M.", was formed by members Josei (Piano), Akita Goldman (Double Bass) and Midorin (Drums) in 2007. The name of the band is derived from the first letters of each member's name. The project features a notable different sound, combining house, hip-hop and the "rocking Jazz of now". The band has released three albums, with their first album, Just A Maestro, being released in 2008.
"Agitator" Shacho announced during their performance at the Relentless Garage in London that their latest album 6 was due for release on 26 April 2010 in the United Kingdom. No other release locations were confirmed by him at the time.
In 8 December 2010, Soil and "Pimp" Sessions released their album, "SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS Presents STONED PIRATES RADIO", containing 20 tracks. All of the tracks (aside from the occasional skit tracks) are covers, arranged in various ways using their style. From reggae to calypso to their aggressive jazz sound, you can hear tracks like "Walkie-Talkie Man," "Beat It," & "Imagine."
Around September 2011, they announced that a new album will be released shortly, and that release was "MAGNETIC SOIL", containing all new material of 15 tracks (except track 2 is their rendition of the Brecker Brothers' piece "Some Skunk Funk"), including a new version of the track "Summer Goddess."
On August 7, 2013, they released their ninth album, "CIRCLES", which featured collaborations with Japanese artists from various genres, including Miyavi, Rhymester and Ringo Sheena. The album also featured a track, titled "Summer Love", featuring American Jazz hip-hop vocalist José James.

良いひとだけど幕の切り時
毎日を割く仮初枕
好いて好かれた男が哀しい
女は誠の誓いなんて要らないよ
大概が芝居さ
惚れた腫れた 目眩いた
噫! 秋ノ空
六日の菖蒲 仮初心
喰って喰わされ男は哀しい
女は嘘を吐いたって好いじゃないか
相応の茶番で
粧し込んで居なくちゃきっと
もう狂って居るって
いけない男 色男
わっちは悪くないわいな
切っても切っても切れぬ
噫! 幕ノ内

The lyrics of SOIL&"PIMP"SESSIONS's song "カリソメ乙女" (Karisome Otome) depict the complexities of relationships and the transient nature of human emotions. The song talks about a man who has had his share of experiences in the world but feels that it is time to move on. He has been involved with women, but the temporary nature of those relationships has left him feeling lonely and sad. The lyrics suggest that women don't need vows of sincerity; they often portray themselves as part of an act. The man has been infatuated and confused, and he laments the autumn sky, which reflects his melancholic state.
The second verse talks about a man who is consumed by the necessities of life, constantly chasing after desires and being consumed by them. He acknowledges that women may lie, but he believes that it's acceptable. In a world filled with pretense and theatrics, one needs to be adorned in order to fit in. The singer feels that he is not the one at fault and cannot be severed, implying that he is trapped in a cycle of emotions that he can't escape.
The chorus repeats the phrase "噫! 幕ノ内" (Ah! Makunouchi), which can be translated as "Ah! Inside the curtain." This could refer to the stage or the world of entertainment, symbolizing the dramatic nature of relationships and the performance people put on in their interactions.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a sense of disillusionment and the realization that relationships can often be superficial and fleeting. It touches upon the complexities of human emotions and the longing for something more sincere and genuine.

ENGLISH LYRICS:
I'm just like the women
Who stand next to you and stare
Sweet intoxication
But I'm living this affair
You lit up my daydreams
Like so many other guys
Don't you look so lonely
There's no sorrow in goodbye
What women want is simple pleasure
To be special
We don't need you forever
But I fell for your trap
Girls will fall like that
I was floating on a breeze
What you must be feeling
It was too late yesterday
Despite your deceiving
It was me who had my way
But women always attempt to tell lies and to disguise
Conceal what we want
So when I try to deceive, won't you believe
Or say that you forgive me
Cause the fault lies with you and the things you do
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
So I try make this great but I can't escape
I'm too far into you
Though I know (though I know)
Our time has come (nothing lasts)
When you say (when you say)
I still love you (I love you)
I think
Don't leave me alone here
I'm lonely without you near
No lies, tricks or deception
My words speak my affection
Hey boy, those were just lies
Now, I'll say my goodbye
