Throughout their career, they have released 22 original studio albums, 40 singles, and numerous best of compilations and live albums. The band reformed four times between 1997 and 2007, with the fourth reunion being their final. In 2007, they released their last studio album, run, following it up with the farewell tour, held between June 2007 and February 2008, after which they officially dissolved. They are ranked at number 35 on HMV Japan's list of top 100 Japanese pop artists.

This is a digital remaster of the seventh album released in six years. The lyrics and melodies have become deeper, and the more you listen to it, the more you appreciate it. The highlight of this album is Zaitsu's falsetto on (8), which was written from a female perspective.
