In 2016, they released “Moriagatteyo“, their first full Japanese studio album. It made its debut in the number three position in the Oricon Albums Chart.

“Eyes On You” is the band’s latest EP. It was only released this year and has already sold over a quarter of a million copies. It is their eighth official EP. The band spent May and June of 2018 touring around Japan. The tour was to promote “THE New Era”, their latest Japanese single, which came out on the 20th of June 2018.
