They charted with their single "this_is_hard.core" in 2012, and garnered a lot of fans with a string of singles and releases the following year. Their music is inspired by the recent wave of bands that are boy/girl duos and indietronica like iamamiwhoami. Konikaami no Konikaami's members live in Artista. Linda Marseille plays guitar and provides vocals, while Lee Fielding operates the drum machine, laptop, sampler, mixing pads and synthesizers.Fielding also provides additional backing vocals. When they perform, they ignore the audience and stare at the ground. Linda Marseille sings in a staccato voice and plays the guitar in an unique way, using open tunings and modified guitars. Their music is described as a cross between Sonic Youth, Crystal Castles and Depeche Mode. Konikaami no Konikaami maintains a very stylized image online and on stage. They often dress in a way that complements the clothes of the other, and use the same design for all their releases, a big "K" on a fuzzy photo of an object. In 2013 they released the movie "▲", together with Hyperkids Melody and Nothing The Black Celebration. The movie is a concept film about a love affair in downtown Sofasi.
