Later, Maruyama Harushige joined the band, and this band changed to the present members.

Sokabe Keiichi produces this band and the central figure. When he got drunk, I hear he becomes to be out of control. Tanaka Takashi is Sokabe's old friend since this band had not been formed yet. Maruyama Harushige is popular among a fan because of his nice looking.

Their songs make an impression of folk and remind us of the 1970's. They released albums, "Wakamonotachi" "Tokyo" "Ai-to-warai-no-yoru" and "Sunny Day Service" at a good pace, and they give many live concerts. Their clothes and atmosphere are natural. And they can play a sharp and intense rock or soft music. They have become to establish their music, which music and words are pure and powerful, especially Sokabe's words are literary and full of heart.
