In a matter of seconds, minutes and hours, Genki Rockets' debut music video was streamed, viewed and widely distributed on various sites including YouTube.com, MySpace.com and counted over 100,000 views on gaming network site 1up.com. A few months later, Genki Rockets made its in-game debut with "Lumines II" (PSP) in North America and Europe and the song's catchy, uplifting tune combined with equally striking video caught the attention of many gamers, leading to a nomination for Best Song at the 2006 Spike TV Video Game Awards. On December 13, 2006, "Heavenly Star" was made available for purchase at the iTunes store (US and Japan). The Japanese release of "Lumines II" followed on February 15, 2007. A day later, the 12" vinyl featuring the original song and remixes was released and quickly grabbed the No. 1 spot on the sales chart. Genki Rockets' major debut came as they were selected as the opening act for the Tokyo venue of the Live Earth concert, a global musical event initiated by Al Gore which was held on July 7, 2007. With nearly 250,000 views on YouTube.com, Genki Rockets is unstoppable.
