They did a cover of the original show's theme song, contributed songs to a couple of Rider movies, and made a guest appearance in this episode to sing a song for the AGHS prom. And then they more or less disappeared. I looked them up awhile ago and apparently they're still a thing, although I don't know if they've contributed to anything official for Kamen Rider in years. I assume they just do birthday parties and mall openings now. I didn't like their song back when this first aired and my opinion of it has not changed.

The KRG did an insert for Ex-Aid most recently (I think, for a show), though with how little play inserts get these past several series I can’t blame you for missing it. They also did vocals for some of Ex-Aid’s bgm iirc, though that was only in the series OST. They still pop up in Rider song collections with their covers often, and they’ve done the theme song for a couple of Rider mobile games (the latest of which I only know about because avex put it out on their Youtube page a few weeks back). Unexpectedly, they’re still hanging in there.
