The band was founded in 1997, but had her breakthrough in 1998 at a concert in Tokyo. Your fast music is characterized by the mixture of conventional guitar music with synthesizers and computer -generated sounds and appears heavily influenced by American bands such as Devo and The Tubes.

Their lyrics often consist of Japanese, broken English or just gibberish. The band is known for their excessive live performances and their eccentric outfits.
The band's name is derived from the " Korg Polysix ", which was the first synthesizer of the front man Hiroyuki Hayashi.
