History[]
Around the time they went on to record songs for Yo-kai Watch, they created songs for TV TOKYO sitcoms. When the Gera Gera Po Song single was released in Japan back in 2014. It peaked at #4 on the Oricon charts in Japan, taking the group to fame and allowing them to compose more opening themes for the anime series.
In December 2017, Maiko left King Cream Soda for undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Japanese female singer-songwriter Sayaka Komuro. At that time, King Cream Soda had temporarily changed their name and logo to King Cream Soda., with a period added at the end of their group name. For the Yo-kai Watch Shadowside anime, they performed both of the ending themes.
They returned with the song YSP!, serving as the final ending theme for the Y School Heroes, while also changing their name back without the period at the end of it. Maiko also returned to the group in Sayaka Komuro's place.
