Starting with electronic as their foundation, they successfully fuse rock and dance music to create a sound that is rarely found in Japan. They are in high demand to perform at various venues, club events, and fashion shows with countless special guest appearances.At times, they intertwine the raw DJ sound, and at other times, they start out by adding sequence to their sound, and as the audience peak out with excitement, they feedback their play... This sort of extravagant display in their performance is only done so due to their sense of dexterity and technique.
