years, the group finally made their major debut with 1986's "Peace", under Pony Canyon. In 1990, the group transferred over to
Toshiba/EMI, where they released their breakthrough album, "A Town That Colorful Merry Fell", that same year. The album
managed to break the Oriconcharts at number 29, and stayed in the charts for 4 weeks. However, after releasing "Deccacci"
(also in the same year of 1990), the group announced its split. Their legacy remains untarnished, and the group remains to be a
huge influence on various bands today. « hide |
