Guitarist Takaakira Goto began writing songs in 1999, and he was looking for fellow musicians to help him realize them, which he found with Tamaki, Yoda and Yasunori Takada. Yoda had been friends with Goto before, but he didn’t know that Yoda played guitar. After a debut EP on the small Japanese label Forty-4, Mono released their debut album Under the Pipal Tree in 2001 in the New Japan series of John Zorn’s label Tzadik Records. One Step More and You Die was released in 2003 and the remix album New York Soundtracks the following year.
