DOES was formed in Fukuoka by Wataru Ujihara (Vocals & Guitar), Yasushi Akatsuka (Bass & Chorus), and Kesaku Morita (Drums & Chorus).
The band skyrocketed to fame with the single "Shura," used as the ending theme for the TV anime "Gintama," debuting at No. 9 on the Oricon charts. Their 2008 single "Donten" climbed to No. 3, becoming a massive hit with over 200,000 digital downloads—a rare feat for a rock band at the time. In 2009, they appeared in the blockbuster film Crows Zero II (directed by Takashi Miike), where they performed on screen. Director Miike praised the band, saying, "DOES is a band of beautiful, stripped-down honesty." Their 2010 smash hit "Bakuchi Dancer" sold over 100,000 physical copies and remained in the Top 10 for three consecutive weeks.
DOES continued to dominate the anime scene, providing themes for Space Brothers ("Yumemiru Sekai") and NARUTO Shippuden ("Guren"). But in 2016, following the release of their 10th-anniversary single "KNOW KNOW KNOW" and the 7th album INNOCENCE, the band announced an indefinite hiatus after a final show at Akasaka BLITZ.
On January 1, 2020, DOES officially resumed activities. They returned to the Gintama franchise with "Douraku Shinjou" and "Breakdown" for the film Gintama: THE FINAL (2021), which hit No. 1 on the Oricon Weekly Rock Chart. Their 2023 appearance on "THE FIRST TAKE" went viral, with "Donten" surpassing 5 million views and "Bakuchi Dancer" exceeding 2 million views.
