Their second major studio album, Life Album, came out on February 13, 2008, debuting at number 2 on the Oricon weekly album charts. Between May 24 to June 14, they went on a live tour to support this album. They released their first full-length studio album on March 7, 2007, entitled Sakura Saku Machi Monogatari, debuting at number 4 on the Oricon weekly album charts. Between November 10 and 30, they held their first live tour, called "Ikimonogakari no Minna-san, Konni-Tour! 2006". Their second single "Hanabi" was released on May 31, 2006, earning the band their first appearance on the Oricon top 10 chart with a number 5 debut. This was their major label debut with Epic Records Japan of Sony. On March 15, 2006, the band released their first single, SAKURA, produced by Masanori Shimada. On March 26, 2005, the band held a show in the small hall at the Atsugi City Culture Building (Atsugishi Bunka Kaikan) this was the first time the band had ever done a single-band show in a hall.
On August 25, they released their first indie album, Makoto ni Senetsu Nagara First Album wo Koshirae Mashita. A person who happened to be attending this performance ended up becoming their manager this became the impetus for them to launch a major road tour. In June, they did a one-band show at the Thunder Snake Atsugi live venue for the first time.
In April 2003, the band resumed playing with a street show in front of the Hon-Atsugi Station on the Odakyū Odawara Line. Moreover, they made a greater effort to compose more original music and rely less on covers. As their style of music was moving more towards an acoustic focus, they planned to expand their scope to cover not only street performances but live house concerts as well. Again, the band re-formed, but then, they were performing with the intent of supporting their increasing fame. By March 2003, Yoshioka recovered from a slump where she had almost thought of not singing anymore she saw this as a second chance to grow as a person. In September 2000, they suspended the band to focus on college entrance examinations for Yamashita and Mizuno. As they were then performing with three members, the band did a cover of Yuzu's single, "Natsuiro" ( 夏色, "The Colors of Summer"). Yoshioka was the younger sister of one of their classmates she entered as the main singer and the band took on its present-day form. In those days, Mizuno and Yamashita planned to make a group with a female lead vocalist, which would be an unusual sound for the street performances they were doing. In November 3, 1999, Yoshioka joined the band. At first, they did covers of Masayoshi Yamazaki. Yamashita and Mizuno formed their band on February 1, 1999, and began performing live on the street not taking it too seriously, they named it "ikimono-gakari" after their shared experience in first grade. Yamashita later noted that he really wanted to be a "blackboard monitor". In 1989, Mizuno and Yamashita met by chance while they were in the first grade they were both put in charge of being Ikimonogakari ( いきものがかり), who are caretakers of the school's plants and animals.
