Andymori first formed in 2007, performing live at live houses in the Tokyo area. Their first big event was the Fuji Rock Festival in 2008, where they performed on the new artist stage. The band released their first EP "アンディとロックとベンガルトラとウィスキー" in October 2008, as the first new artist signed to Youth Records. This was followed by their full-length album in February 2009, "andymori".The lead single, "Follow Me," was chosen as an iTunes Single of the Week free download song in January.
The band performed at many of the major summer festivals in 2009, such as Rock in Japan and Summer Sonic.In October, the band held their first one man live, and featured on the 10 year anniversary tribute album for Quruli.
In 2010, the band released their second album, "ファンファーレと熱狂". Prior to its release, they were picked as one of the iTunes Japan "Sound of 2010" break-through artists,and their video for "Follow Me" was nominated for the Best New Artist award for the 2010 Space Shower Music Video Awards. The album has so far reached #9 on the Oricon albums daily charts.
At the end of 2010, their first drummer left the band, being replaced by Kenji Okayama (岡山健二), his first live with the band being in December of the same year. At the beginning of 2011, they got the Grande Prize at the 3rd CD Shop Awards and released a digital single called "兄弟", donating all the funds that came from it to the reconstruction of Japan after March 11's tsunami and earthquake. Their third album, "革命", was released soon after, in June; it reached the 8th position on the Oricon daily album charts.
On 2012, they had plans to release their 4th album, "光", at May 2nd (it was originally planned to be released in March 3rd, but was postponed), and perform a Zepp Tour in order to promote it.
In 2014, it was announced that Andymori would break up after seven years. The band released its final album, Uchū no Hate wa Kono Me no Mae ni , on June 26 of that year, and perform a tour from July until September. The final date of the tour was held at the Nippon Budokan on September 24.

andymori Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
公園で群れるハトにパンを
投げる投げる投げる
池のコイは太い
コウモリが飛んでいく
もうすぐ帰れるさって思う
もうすぐ家まで
世界が歌っている世界が歌っている
もうすぐ家まで
都会を走る猫に名前はいらない
校庭を走る友達に裏切られるように
僕は君みたいに
なりたいと思っていたんだ
見つからなかったボールのような
とにかくそんなものに
世界が歌っている世界が歌っている
もうすぐ帰れるさって思う
もうすぐ家まで
世界が歌っている世界が歌っている
もうすぐ帰れるさって思う
もうすぐ家まで
都会を走る猫に名前はいらない
都会を走る猫に名前はいらない
世界が歌っている世界が歌っている
もうすぐ帰れるさって思う

世界が歌っている世界が歌っている
もうすぐ帰れるさって思う
もうすぐ家まで
都会を走る猫に名前はいらない
都会を走る猫に名前はいらない
世界が歌っている世界が歌っている
もうすぐ帰れるさって思う
もうすぐ家まで
The lyrics of andymori's song "Tokai Wo Hashiru Neko" depict a city where people are like animals, with the nameless cat that runs through the city being the epitome of this. The singer mentions how they don't need a name, just like the cat, as they feel insignificant in this big city. The singer also speaks of pigeons being fed at the park, and fish swimming in a pond, as mundane events that occur in the city.
The chorus contains the singer's desire to return home, where they feel truly connected and belong. They imagine the world singing to them, encouraging them to return home. The singer touches upon their struggle to fit in at school, and how they aspire to be like their friends. Lastly, the song ends with the repetition of the chorus, leaving a sense of longing for home.
Overall, the song seems to explore feelings of alienation in a city environment, and the desire to belong somewhere. The nameless cat and simple, everyday events serve as a juxtaposition to the human experience of trying to find a place in the world.
