• While primarily known as a duo (Shuntarō and Shō), they perform live and record with supporting musicians. Shuntarō is the principal songwriter.
• Their sound has evolved from a raw, punk-influenced style on early releases to incorporate more diverse elements like funk and alternative rock textures in later work, while retaining high energy.
