Sandaime J Soul Brothers released their first single "Best Friend's Girl" in November 2010, which was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan and peaked at number three on the Oricon Weekly Chart. Their first studio album J Soul Brothers was released a year after, also peaking at number three on the Oricon Weekly Chart. The group first saw major success in 2012 with the release of their promotional single "Hanabi", which became a major hit that year, being certified Triple Platinum and reaching number two on the Billboard Japan Hot 100. The song went on to win an Excellence Work award and received a nomination for the Grand Prix at the Japan Record Awards. The following year, the group's third studio album Miracle became their first number-one album on the Oricon Albums Chart.

In 2014, their single "R.Y.U.S.E.I" hit number one on both the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts, becoming the group's biggest commercial single at the time and earning Sandaime J Soul Brothers their first grand prix award at the Japan Record Awards.

The song ranked at number nineteen on the yearly Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart and rose to number one yet again in 2015.
