I like how they have been writing stories for each song on both of their albums. They're chock full of 80's references and influences:

Here's the plot of the first album which they took off their website:

 

Introducing the different stories at “what a Wonderful World,”
which is influenced by the feeling of the end of the world after the numberless of
nucleus satellites have left the orbit.

Episode 1. Morse

Morse is Ian’s older twin brother (identical twins).
He sends the signal continuously every night with considering of Ian, who lost the reality, from the place far from him.
Morse is not his real name and is his handle name.

 

Episode 2. Leos

Leos is a musician, who is fascinated by Kevin Shields and Shuji Terayama. 
He used to shut himself in his room and quitting an acquaintance with the outside world
but deeply impressed by Roxanne.
He burns the “loveless,” and opens the door.
He threw books and came up to a town
(*this is a title of a famous essay with criticism which is writtenby Shuji Terayama.).

Episode 3. Roxanne

Roxanne is a musician, who distributes songs via internet while roaming around the world.
She accepts the end of world as it is with not being pessimism nor optimistic. 
She cannot forgive her mother, who left with her little brother when she was young,
but she hopes that one day her mother will find her via internet. 
She loves and respect Patricia Lee “Patti” Smith and Lou Reed.

 

Episode 4. Emil

Emil travels with his girlfriend Angie, who is his childhood friend.
He captures matters optimistically by gazing the reality 
He thinks that his meaning of life is to make Angie happy.
In the past, he left his house by having discord with his politician father.
He met Roxanne during the travel.

 

Episode 5. Angie

Angie travels with Emil. 
Her heart has been caught from a kind of trauma that she called WHITE DARKNESS,
which she saw in her dream when she was young, so she captures the scenes completely different by how Emil captures.
She considers Emil as someone irreplaceable to her, but sometimes feels unpleasant since his personality is completely opposite from hers.

 

Episode 6. Alex

Alex travels to the place where the world ends, while he is trying to find his sister who was separated when he was young. 
Although he was young and his memory was vague, he thinks with confidence that Roxanne is his sister. 
He loves a girl called Eli. 

 

Episode 7. Ian

Ian is a younger twin brother of Morse. 
He disappointed at the reality and he stables his mind by under the impression that this world is in his dream. 
He also is deeply impressed by Roxanne’s songs. 
Ian, who is confused the reality and the dream, go toward to the top of the building.
He realizes that the world where he exists is the reality while fluttering down the sky.
