Luiza, the band's vocalist, had been Yoma's junior in high school, and the two previously played together in their school's light music club band. When seeking a vocalist for The Winking Owl, Yoma decided to invite Luiza, who brought her unique sensibility as a person of Japanese-Romanian heritage, infusing the band's sound with an expansive and captivating vocal style.
Luiza grew up listening to Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears and other pop stars. She later discovered Evanescence, which ignited her interest in diverse genres, including instrumental music and jazz.
Ranmalu got inspired to play instruments by bands like Sex Pistols and The Clash during his upbringing. In his teenage years, he delved into the screamo genre and became a guitarist. He later embraced becoming a dedicated bassist after joining The Winking Owl. Ranmalu left the band, but decided to rejoin in March 2019.
KenT became the band's drummer in September 2015, succeeding former drummers Yosuke and Hiroki. Raised in Mie Prefecture, he grew up watching bands perform due to his parents being event organizers. This led him to start playing drums, and he became a fan of Slipknot.
The Winking Owl's distinctive musical style emerged from an amalgamation of diverse influences, including emo, alternative rock, pop punk, and anime rock. The band has expressed that there are few female vocal rock bands of this type, and while playing with other bands, they sometimes found it challenging to find a perfect match and felt slightly out of place, but acknowledged that this uniqueness was part of the band's appeal.
Unfortunately, The Winking Owl is currently on an indefinite hiatus following the departure of Luiza on July 15, 2020. The band announced on their official website that Luiza would be leaving the group due to differences in direction, leading to the decision for the band to be on hiatus. After receiving Luiza's intention to withdraw, each member, along with the staff, re-evaluated their future activities and lives, leading to the conclusion of the hiatus. In addition, scheduled performances of PRAISE "MAKE A RIOT TOUR 2020 FINAL" and "KNOTFEST JAPAN 2020" transfer performances were canceled.
Since the hiatus, Luiza has embarked on a solo career. The band members currently on hiatus include Yoma on guitar and as the main songwriter, alongside Ranmalu on bass and KenT on drums.

散らばった心集めて願うの
Solitude
孤独の中に潜む君
僕の目に映る
Oh you don't know exactly what you
need.
You can fly with your wings but
you keep denying yourself away.
Posessed with self doubts, you're calling out,
drowning like a fallen angel.
You can fly with your wings but
you keep denying yourself away.
もう戻れないの?
You're calling out, drowning like a fallen angel.
Falling down
繰り返した
嘘のない罪を背負うの

閉ざされた扉の奥 向こう
君はまだ眠る
Oh you don't know exactly what you

You can fly with your wings but
you keep denying yourself away.
Posessed with self doubts, you're calling out,
drowning like a fallen angel.
You can fly with your wings but
you keep denying yourself away.
もうこれでいいの?
You're calling out, drowning like a fallen angel.
Oh you don't know exactly what you

You can fly with your wings but
you keep denying yourself away.
Posessed with self doubts, you're calling out,
drowning like a fallen angel.
You can fly with your wings but
you keep denying yourself away.
もう戻れないの?
You're calling out, drowning like a fallen angel.
You can fly with your wings but

Posessed with self doubts, you're calling out,

You can fly with your wings but

もう止まらないよ
You're calling out, drowning like a fallen angel.
The lyrics to The Winking Owl's song "Fallen Angel" tell the story of a person who is lost and struggling to find their way. They are filled with self-doubt and are unable to see a clear path forward. The first verse describes the person's feelings of solitude and their desire to gather the pieces of their scattered heart. They see themselves reflected in the eyes of another, but are unsure of what they truly need.
The chorus repeats the refrain that the person can fly with their wings, but they continue to deny themselves and sink further into their doubts. They are like a fallen angel, drowning in their own insecurities. The second verse continues this theme, with the person carrying the weight of honest mistakes and being trapped behind closed doors. They are still sleeping, unable to fully awaken to their own potential.
Overall, the lyrics of "Fallen Angel" speak to the universal experience of feeling lost and trapped by one's own fears and doubts. The imagery of the wings suggests that the person has the potential to soar, but they are held back by their own self-imposed limitations.
