The band was formed in 2005 and self-produced many works up until 2009 when they signed with the Indie label U-Project. While with U-Project, they first released "Japanication" and "Kanjou Discord" until being signed to a major record deal with Sony Music in 2010. Their major debut single, "Liar", was released on August 11, 2010. The title song was used as the theme song for the television drama Hammer session!. It was then followed by "Last Moment", which was used as the 25th ending for the TV anime series Bleach.

On June 8, 2011, Spyair released their fourth single, "Samurai Heart (Some Like it Hot)", which was used as the 17th ending theme to the Gin Tama anime series. In early 2012, "My World" was used as the second ending for Mobile Suit Gundam AGE. The song "0 Game (Love Game)" was used as an official soundtrack for the 2012 film The Amazing Spider-Man. They also sang the movie song for the second Gin Tama.[1] Movie, "Genjou Destruction."

Their new single "Naked" was released on September 5, 2012.[2] Following the release was an announcement for their second album, "Just Do It", which featured 12 tracks including "My World", "0 Game" and "Naked".[3]

Another single, "Wendy: It's You", was used as the theme song for drama series Koi Suru Hae Onna which started airing on November 2012.[4] After the release of "Wendy: It's You", Enzel announced that he would be leaving the band after their Nippon Budokan concert on December 18.[5] On December 18, the band successfully held their first live concert at the Nippon Budokan.
