History

Rocky Chack was formed in 1998 as a 5-person band and signed under the label Midi, Inc. In 2000, the band left Midi and signed with outgroup records (a division of Sony Music). However, after their label dissolved in October 2000,[1] the band was put on hiatus. In late 2005, Taro and noe announced they would continue the band as a duo, and has since released music under the Victor Entertainment FlyingDog label.

In 2006, Rocky Chack performed the ending songs to the Japanese anime series Zegapain, along with the ending songs of Spice and Wolf in 2008 and its sequel in 2009.
