Well they've been out since '89, and have I think the 3rd best selling album in Japan 'THE BEST PLEASURE'... The guitarist Tak Matsumoto is probably considered the best guitarist in all of Asia (has a Gibson signature guitar), and I think all (or most) of their singles have debuted at #1 on Oricon... They toured America too. And as for their record sales...
