The band debuted in 1987 with the album PEARL FIRST. A year after, KAZUYA ledt the group and Furuta Koji replaced him as the band's guitarist.

The band would not revive until seven years later when a best album was released in honor of the band's 20th anniversary. Also, the band got back together in 2007 to perform small concert at selected cities.
