Besides playing the guitar and composing music, Shin'go is also a producer. He has been involved in soundtracks to animes like Casshan, Solty Rei, and Pumpkin Scissors.
Their first album, "uncountable", was released both in Japan and in the United States by TenBu Productions.[2][3] In fact, the band's name came from the pronunciation of the word "uncountable" in Japanese, similar do "Unicorn Table".
They are also known by "Fly Away", a song from the anime Jinki: Extend; and "Closer", "Distant Love", "Infinity" and "Amai Yum", from School Rumble.[4][5]
The duo has performed at many festivals in Japan, as well as at Tora-Con, in Rochester, New York,[6][7] USA; and at SANA, in Fortaleza, Brazil.[8]
