Toybee are the first Japanese rock band to appear on the billboard article. The members, who hail from the city of Narita, known for its airport, have been conscious of delivering their music to the world since their formation. Drawing inspiration from the melodic guitar riffs of the 60s and 70s rock era, they blend these with a fresh and catchy melody. As a nostalgic yet innovative Neo-Tokyo rock band, they incorporate a diverse range of music genres into their timeless rock sound.

The album features tracks such as [Planet Debris], where they sing to bring back the once sold-out 'Spirit' from that hotel, [Onetime Lover] where they innocently dance to classic rock riffs, and [I am the Coelacanth], a song that sings of distorted love from the depths of thunderous seas.
