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 ↴
わけもわからないまま
椅子取りゲームへの手続きは
まるで永遠のようなんだ
真っ赤に染まっていく公園で
自転車を追いかけた
誰もが兄弟のように他人のように
先を急いだんだ それは
5時のサイレン 6時の一番星
1984 花に囲まれて生まれた
疑うことばかり覚えたのは
戦争映画の見すぎか
親たちが追い掛けた白人たちが
ロックスターを追い掛けた
か弱い僕もきっと
その後に続いたんだ
1984 裸で泣いてた君は
どこか遠い国の街角で
同じように泣いている
誰かに抱かれながら
ファンファーレと熱狂 赤い太陽
5時のサイレン 6時の一番星
ファンファーレと熱狂 赤い太陽
5時のサイレン 6時の一番星
ファンファーレと熱狂 赤い太陽
5時のサイレン 6時の一番星
ファンファーレと熱狂 赤い太陽
5時のサイレン 6時の一番星
The lyrics to andymori's song 1984 paint a picture of confusion and nostalgia for a time that is now long gone. The opening lines describe waiting for the end of a class, not knowing why, and feeling like the bureaucracy of the "chair stealing game" could last forever. The singer then reminisces about chasing bicycles in a bright red park, feeling like everyone around them was in a rush. The chorus repeats the year and describes being born surrounded by flowers but also learning to doubt and question things from watching too many war movies. The song ends with a haunting image of someone naked and crying in a faraway city, while the sound of fanfare and excitement from a different time plays in the background.
The lyrics in 1984 are full of contradictions and nostalgia for a time that is both remembered and forgotten. The references to the red park and the sunlight represent a simpler, more innocent time, while the mention of war movies and the chasing of rockstars hint at the darker underbelly of the era. The repetition of the phrase "fanfare and excitement" creates a feeling of longing for something that can never be regained, while the final image of someone crying alone in a distant city highlights the isolation and sense of loss that can come with growing up.
