Formed in the summer of 1998 while still in high school. Born and currently resides in Okinawa.
Their 2nd album “MESSAGE” was released in September 2001, and became the first indie album in history to reach No.1 on the Oricon charts.
Their natural language and message of peace from Okinawa, where they were born and raised, and where they still live, resonate with many people, transcending generations and gaining enthusiastic support.
Since then, they have released albums, toured all over Japan and the islands, and performed at numerous major festivals, while collaborating with artists of different generations and genres, providing music, and holding independent festivals. In recent years, they have been developing their own unique musical activities with a stance that is unique in the band scene.
In 2023, the band celebrates its 25th anniversary.
