In January 2019, they were selected as the support act for THE OFFSPRING JAPAN TOUR 2019. They took the stage at Zepp Osaka Bayside for their 15th show since their first show.
In September 2023, they released their 3rd Album “The Melodymatic Punchlines” after 3 years of blank of Corona Disaster.
In the same month, the band appeared on the top cover of Amazon Music’s J-Rock playlist, and their four-city tour in Tokyo, Sapporo, Nagoya, and Osaka in October was all SOLD OUT.
In January 2024, the band will embark on its first overseas tour, MAYKIDZ “The Melodymatic Punchlines TOUR 2024 in Asia” (Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore *one-man show).
The band will also be accompanied by a camera that will follow them closely, and their first documentary film is scheduled to be released on a major distribution platform in the spring or later in 2024.
