[3] The Brilliant Green takes much of their influence from Western music, most predominantly the Beatles,[4] with over half their songs including English lyrics.
After another number one hit with "Tsumetai Hana" they released their self-titled debut album which sold over one million copies in just two days.

The song, titled "Stand by Me", was selected as the ending theme for the new series of TV drama, Detective School Q, which began on July 3, 2007.
