Interesting Facts:

-Haruichi Shindō originally formed the band with his cousin during high school and named it "No Score." 
-Haruichi asked Akihito Okano and Tama to join. The band was so named because none of them could actually read a score when they first started.
-Haruichi was the vocalist in the beginning, but found out that Akihito could sing better, so he gave the vocalist position to Akihito and took over as guitarist instead.
