Effective period / Period of releases: 1998 - 2004

Members: Ai Ishigaki, Ryoichi Endo

Project founded by Ryoichi Endo after the breakup of his previous band, Soft Ballet. Initially forming under the name "The Ends", the name was shortened to just Ends by their second album. The majority of the group's albums have a classic/psychedelic rock feel, with very dominant use of organs as part of the music. Possibly influenced by Endo's reunion with Soft Ballet from 2002-2003, Ends' style shifted greatly from 2004 onward, becoming more modern and electronica-influenced.
