Superfly was formed in 2004 by the vocalist Ochi Shiho and the guitarist Tabo Koichi. The band made their major label debut in April 2007, with the single Hello Hello under Warner Music Japan label.

Before the release of the third single, Tabo Koichi left the duo. Despite this Ochi Shiho continued to release music under Superfly's name, as a soloist. Her first solo effort was the tour "Superfly 2007 Hello, We Love You". In November of 2007 she joined forces with the Australian band JET and released the single i spy i spy.

Her first single of 2008, "Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo" was used as the theme song to the dorama Edison no Haha. This single was Superfly's first big hit, which broke into the top twenty on the Oricon chart. In March of 2008, the song earned a gold certification for Chaku-Uta Full downloads from RIAJ. It would also be certified gold by RIAJ for PC downloads a month later.
