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.

amazarashi Lyrics

一人の夜の寂しさを
言い訳にしてみても
傷つける為の言葉は
空しくなるだけそれでも
心に穴が空いて
そこに流れ込んだ泥水は
全部吐き出さなきゃ
苦しくても吐き出さなきゃ

上手くいかないときは

何をやっても駄目で
駄目だ駄目だって思ってりゃ
上手くいくもんもいかないよな
カーテンの隙間から
朝日が急かしやがるんだ
もう出掛ける時間だよ
しょうがない出掛けるか

名も無き僕名も無き君
何者にもなれない僕達が
ぼろぼろに疲れ流れ着いた街で
たった今すれ違ったのだ
それを出会いと呼ぶには
つかの間過ぎたのだが
名前を付けてくれないか
こんな傷だらけの生き方に

誰かが君の事を
悪く言っていたとしても大丈夫
人の生き方は
良い悪いではないのだ

目の前の分かれ道の
選択に悩みこそすれど
それを不正解と言ってしまう選択こそ
最も不正解なのだ

上手く行かない時は
人のせいにしそうなもんで
それを自分のせいにしてる
君は優しすぎるから
駅のホームでも
ため息さえ飲み込んで
息を詰まらせているのは
全く君らしいよ

名も無き僕名も無き君
何者にもなれない僕達が
ぼろぼろに疲れ流れ着いた街で
たった今すれ違ったのだ

それを運命と呼ぶには
ありふれていたのだが
名前を付けてあげるのだ
その傷だらけの生き方に

人知れず流した涙
隠していた悔しさ
名付けられる事無い詠み人知らずの悲しみ
ビルの風に舞い上がり
路地の隅に吹き溜まる
始めから無かったみたいに忘れるか

僕達の名も無き悲しみは
今こそ讃えて然るべきだ
僕達の名も無き悲しみは
君に見つけられるのを待っている

名も無き僕名も無き君
何者にもなれない僕達が
ぼろぼろに疲れ流れ着いた街で
たった今すれ違ったのだ
それを必然と呼ぶには
瑣末過ぎたのだが
今こそ名前を呼び合うのだ
この傷だらけの生き方の
名も無き人
名も無き人
名も無き人
