It consists of leader, vocalist, and guitarist 秋田ひろむ (Hiromu Akita), and keyboardist 豊川真奈美 (Manami Toyokawa). Composer/arranger 出羽良彰 (Yoshiaki Dewa) also contributes to the band.

In December 2009, they released an album 0. as a limited release of 500 copies in Aomori. Since the album created a lot of buzz and they were flooded with inquiries, they eventually released the album nationwide as 0.6.

As the intense worldview of their lyrics grabbed the attention of listeners with quick ears, they made a major debut with 爆弾の作り方 (How to Make a Bomb) released from Sony Music Associated Records in June 2010.

“a band led by Hiromu Akita from Aomori”

It was the only information officially shared about the band, but they have expanded their fan base by word of mouth, mostly through the Internet, to such an extent that their latest album ねえママあなたの言うとおり (Hey Mom, It's Just as You Say) went up to number 8 in the Oricon weekly album chart.

When performing live, they have a unique style where they play behind a screen that covers the whole stage and projects various images to go along with the music. Their shows have been much talked about, and some say it gives the audience a sense of watching a film and enjoying live music at the same time.

They are also known as their music videos with CG animation and have won a variety of awards worldwide.

In 2010, their music video for 夏を待っていました ("Waiting for the Summer") won the Excellence Award at the 14th Japan Media Arts Festival. amazarashi’s 夏を待っていました and サカナクション's アルクアラウンド were the only music videos that won the awards that year.

Furthermore, they have attracted interest throughout the world as they won prizes at Annecy International Animated Film Festival (originally a part of Cannes Film Festival) in France, SIGGRAPH ASIA 2011 (the world’s biggest computer graphics event), one dot zero 2011 (a digital animation festival in London), and more.

百年経ったら
amazarashi Lyrics

眠りから覚めても動けない身体
病み上がり
人らしき人以下に成り下がり
価値のない物に価値を付け
価値観とうそぶくものに
支払いの義理はない
世界は酔っぱらい
へらへら回るけど戦闘機
暴力と言葉が釣り合えば
ビル風に寝転んで

百年経ったら起こして
土には還れぬもの達と添い寝して
裏庭の堅い実が
真っ赤になったら教えて
この夏の訪れを
そよ風に言付けて
空を越え

故郷が嫌い雪が積もるの嫌い
思い出と心中するつもりもないし
夕凪の静寂耳を澄ます海に
あの娘が育った町だから
そこは好き
世界一嫌いな人間と
世界一大事な人間を
一人しか救えない
だとしても迷うだろう
そういうもんだ人として
良心があってこそ良心が傷むのだ
裏庭の堅い実が
真っ赤になったら教えて
この夏の訪れをそよ風に言付けて
空を越え
荒廃したこの土地で
もう生きていけないから
ノアの箱船的宇宙船
炎を吐く飛行機雲
みんな地球を出て行った
地球を出て行った
地球を出て行った
地球を出て行った
地球を出て行った
地球を出て行った
地球を出て行った
地球を出て行った
僕はそれに手を振った
さよならさよならさよなら
さよならさよならさよなら

この町が燃え尽きて
百年経ったら起こして
土には還れぬもの達と添い遂げて
裏庭の堅い実が
真っ赤になったら教えて
この夏の訪れをそよ風に言付けて
空を越え
