History

Formed in 1989 as a three piece by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Seizi Kimura, lead guitarist Makoto Gomi and bassist Yuichi Nakamura, soon after drummer Eiki Yanagita joined. Makoto Gomi left in 1997 as he did not like being signed to a major label. Guitarist Kenji Akabane did not join until 1998. Zeppet Store disbanded on August 14, 2005.

On June 2, 2007, the band reunited with Gomi for a one-night only performance at the 15th anniversary event of the Under Flower Record label. In 2011 Zeppet Store reunited, with both Akabane and Gomi, to record a new single with the proceeds going to aid the victims of the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. The song, called "Smile", was completed on July 16 and released on iTunes on August 13. While a physical CD single of the song, coupled with the B-side "If You Want Me", was given a limited release on September 3.
