Soup was active from 1994 until about 2000, and formed of leader ARAKI Susumu with TANUMA Tetsuhiro (from 1997) and OGAWA Atsushi (until 1998). They were first released on TAKANAMI K-taro's (Pizzicato Five) label Out of tune, back when they were also the backing band to Transistor Glamour (T.V. Jesus' TERAMOTO Rieko's solo project).

Their sound smartly mixes elements of soul and funk with a touch of J-pop.
