As a band they have only ever held two concerts one in July 2017 and another one in August 2019. The bands music is described as passionate positive and upbeat which serves as a signifcant contrast to the heavier lyrics. The lyrics often explore ideas such as love and human emotion and take inspiration from works of literature by Masuji Ibuse and Jules Verne.

Their eyedesigned logo mark is a motif of two moons facing each other which also serves as a clock hand portraying the time from 6:00 to night.
