fripSide NAO Project released songs different from the usual style of fripSide, and did not follow fripSide's motto of 'creating songs that everyone can relate to'. In addition, fripSide had a side group, called 'fripSide NAO Project' which started on March 30, 2007. They released their works under elseena-music entertainment and many of their songs were created for Visual Art's games, as well as other erotic game companies. They officially became a part of Visual Art's in 2006. As of July 2006, more than 6,000 copies of the three original albums have been sold. fripSide's albums were always high in sales at Muzie's online CD shop. When the group started, they were releasing their songs on the Japanese amateur and indie community, Muzie. In a 2008 interview, Satoshi said that he was a fan of TM Network and its member Tetsuya Komuro in his elementary and junior high school days and began to produce his music at the age of 14.
