Boom Boom Satellites  Kawashima and Nakano formed the band in 1990, having met at university and debuted in Europe as a rock unit in 1997. According to an interview, the name originated from a song by Sigue Sigue Sputnik. In 1995, the group's music debuted in Japan on a compilation album released by Torema Records, also affiliated with Untitled Records. Belgian record company R&S Records released their first single in Europe later that year. Kawashima and Nakano also appeared in the European magazine "Melody Maker", where they were lauded as the combination of The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. R&S Records released their first album, "7 Ignitions/Auto Re-Birth", on April 1, 1998, and the group performed at a large music festival the following June. The group then returned to Japan. Boom Boom Satellites toured with Moby for three months in the United States some time afterwards, and artists such as Garbage also requested remixes from the group. The group has contributed numerous songs to various films, commercials, and television programs: In 2004, a number of tracks from the group's album, "Full of Elevating Pleasures", contributed to the soundtrack of the CGI anime film "Appleseed". In 2005, the song "What Goes Around Comes Around" from the album "Exposed", was featured in a commercial for Dodge, and "Easy Action" was included on the soundtrack of the 2007 anime film "Vexille". The same year, they played in the UK at the prestigious In The City music industry showcase festival. In 2008, the track "Scatterin' Monkey" from their 1998 album "Out Loud", was featured in the film "The Dark Knight" and "Shut Up and Explode" became the opening theme song for the PlayStation Store exclusive and later anime television series . In 2009, the single "Back on My Feet" is an additional opening theme song for the television broadcast of the series (the TV broadcast switches between "Shut Up and Explode" and "Back on My Feet"). In 2009, the band collaborated with Tahj Mowry and Flo Rida on a new envisioning of their track "Kick It Out". The track predominantly featured the lyrics of Tahj Mowry and Flo Rida in the verses, while the chorus remained the same as in the original release. Boom Boom Satellites added a new verse of their own not present on the original release. A music video was created for the song's release.
