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.

The lyrics of "Follow Me" by andymori start with reminiscing about the nostalgic love for India and then shifts to the promise of showing his guitar skills in a Carters-style flat picking and Kerala produced tune until the early hours of the morning. The verse is followed by the chorus, where the singer promises to sing until the sun explodes in a California Dreaming style with a "keep on the sunny side" attitude. Then, there is a sudden shift in the lyrics, the singer calls out to the overweight people and people of color with contradictory solutions: supplements and machine guns, respectively. The song ends with a call-to-action to follow the singer as he watches the orange sun flee into the horizon.
The lyrics of the song seem to revolve around the idea of escapism, from longing for faraway places, to the promise of music and dancing until sunrise, to the idealistic yet impractical solutions to real-world problems. The chorus, with its references to California Dreaming and keeping on the sunny side, could be interpreted as a call to keep a positive outlook, but the verses seem to be grounded in reality, showcasing a contrast between seeking a temporary solace and the harshness of the real world. The call-to-action at the end of the song could be seen as a way of offering a temporary escape from reality, urging the listener to follow the singer.
