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 ↴
歌い続けてから幾年が過ぎ
約束ばかりが増えていく
空っぽの空のむこうに
どこにもいけない彼女たち
駅の改札を出たり入ったり
変れない明日を許しながら
なんとなく嘘をつくのさ
可愛くなれない性格で
全然違うことを考えながら
優しいんだねって嘘をつくのさ
空がこんなに青すぎると
なにもかも捨ててしまいたくなる
空がこんなに青すぎると
このまま眠ってしまいたい
16のリズムで空をいく
昔の誰かに電話して
貰った花をまた枯らしながら
今度呑もうねと嘘をつくのさ
祈りを込めて歌うように
神様に会いにいくように
16のリズムで空をいく
明日もずっと空をいくのさ
The lyrics to andymori's song "16" speaks to the common experience of feeling stuck in a mundane routine, longing for something more, and telling white lies to cope with the frustration. It starts with repeating uneventful days and years passing by without much change. Promises are made, but they only add to the emptiness that lingers beyond the sky. The singer sees girls who cannot go anywhere and repeatedly go through the train station gates while accepting the reality of an unchanging tomorrow. They tell lies, unsure why they do, set to a beat of 16.
The singer hints at being unable to improve their personality, always wanting to be cute, driving themselves to alternate thoughts to avoid reality. They tell a gentle lie about themselves. The sky is too blue, and the pressure of this reality makes them want to throw everything away. They think about going to sleep and dreaming away the blue sky. They call someone from their past, admitting to killing the flowers they received, and lie about wanting to get drinks with them again. The singer sings about praying and going to see God to the same rhythm of 16, committing to continue traveling the sky tomorrow and beyond.
