FUNKY MONKEY BABYS 'A Tiny Bit of Courage'

This group, consisting of two vocalists and one DJ, was formed in 2004 and enjoyed immense popularity.

However, DJ Chemical began preparing to take over as the head monk at his family’s temple, and the group disbanded—much to the regret of many fans—after their Tokyo Dome performance in June 2013.
