They released their first single, Man & Woman / My Painting in May, and were quickly joined by Kobayashi Takeshi in December as they released their first album evergreen. Akko and Kobayashi married in 1996; the group's activities were then put on hiatus because Akko was pregnant. Fujii left the group in 2002, but the two other members went on with releasing music.
