Their frontman, Takanori Jinnai, went on to have a two-decade acting career, winning Best Actor accolades at the Japanese Academy Awards twice. In 2001, he became a film director.
They were featured in the film Rockers (2003 film) by directed by Takanori Jinnai which recorded the spirit and energy of the early Japanese punk movement, the band splitting up soon after filming was completed. In 2014, the band reformed for the memorial concert of former bassist Jun Hashimoto and started to play irregularly later on.
