Later, Sato (gt) who was their junior, joined the band. As high school students, they did cover songs of various bands like: The Blue Hearts, LUNA SEA, L'Arc~en~Ciel, They even did covers of all Hi-Standard's songs before they began to compose their original songs. A few years later they moved into Osaka and began playing live gigs there.

Taking influence from jazz, blues, fusion, soul, funk, rock, pop to groove, with a high pitched back up singer and a milder one for a frontman it really helps the band with vocals, as does the great work they do on the songs instrumentals. They released their first mini album "the space of the sense" in 2005 and the second one "THE MUSIC HUMANIZED IS HERE" in 2006. They released their First full major album "Rapture" on march 19 of 2008 and have continued to produce and cover a steady flow of albums and songs since then.

In 2007 they went major (under AVEX) and released some singles and full albums. In 2011 they decided to quit from AVEX and started their own label "STYLE_MISSILE". In the end of 2014 they went back to major (under Nippon Crown).

Departure
UNCHAIN Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

天野浩成 - DEPARTURE
★ VAN制作
あなたと出会って
すぐに火がついた
忘れかけてたこの想い
自信なんかなくて友達に確定
また繰り返すのはこわいけど
いつもとは違うんだ

痛いくらい胸に響いた
その眼差しは Catch in my heart
ここから始めよう
僕等の素敵な Wonder land
いつか二人寄り添って
笑い合うその日まで
言葉にしたって
上手く言えなくて
ただすれ違うのはつらいけど
伝えたい気持ちに
気づかないふりして見せた
その微笑みは Catch in my heart
ここから始めよう
輝く明日に Fly away
いつか二人手を握り
歩き出すその日まで
ここから始めよう
僕等の素敵な Wonder land
いつまでもこのまま
変わらない気持ち信じて
いつか二人手を握り
歩き出すその日まで
