## Career

[edit]

### Formation

[edit]

The group was formed in 2015, after Shibata and Nishiyama went to a second-hand shop with ¥10,000, and bought cheap 90's synthesizers.[3] They began gathering an audience by posting songs to Soundcloud throughout 2015 and 2016.[4] They released their debut EP "Park City" in 2017.

### Night Flow

[edit]

The band released their second album, Night Flow on September 4, 2019. The album was inspired by how nighttime enhances people's feelings. The album peaked at 49 on the Japanese Oricon charts.[7] In November 2019, they made an ending theme for Pokémon Journeys: The Series.
