The discography of Japanese musical act Superfly consists of seven studio albums, four compilation albums, three extended plays, five video albums and thirty-four singles. Superfly began as a duo in 2003 by vocalist Shiho Ochi and guitarist Koichi Tabo; signing with Warner Music Japan in 2007. [1] Tabo left the band in 2007 just before the release of their single "I Spy I Spy", finding it difficult to work as both the act's songwriter and guitarist. [2] [3] However, Tabo remained attached to Superfly, composing and producing songs for the unit until Superfly's single "Ai o Karada ni Fukikonde" (2014) and Superfly's fifth studio album White (2015), [4] [5] where Ochi collaborated with a range of songwriters instead. [6]
In 2008, Superfly were chosen to sing "Ai o Komete Hanataba o", the theme song for the TV drama, Edison no Haha, starring Misaki Ito. [7] The song was certified Million for digital downloads by the RIAJ. [8] The band's debut album Superfly (2008) was released three months later and debuted at the top of the Japanese Oricon albums chart. [9] Six of their releases between 2008 and 2013 reached number one on Oricon's albums chart. [10] Other than "Ai o Komete Hanataba o", the act's most commercially successful songs include "Alright!!" (2009), the opening theme song for the drama Boss, [11] and "Tamashii Revolution" (2010), a song used by NHK during the 2010 FIFA World Cup and other soccer broadcasts. [12] Both of these songs have been certified Double Platinum by the RIAJ. [8] [13] [14] Superfly achieved one number-one single on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, the theme song for Fuji Television drama Gold , "Wildflower" (2010). [15] [16] As the single was packaged together with an additional compilation album of Western covers, Cover Songs: Complete Best 'Track 3' , it was ineligible to chart on the Japanese Oricon singles chart, achieving number one on the Oricon weekly albums chart instead.
