Right after the game's release, the Swedish metal band Sons of Angels reunited, and Jun and Johnny changed their group's name with a combination of [[TrademarkFavoriteFood Jun's favorite soda]] and [[ArcNumber Johnny's favorite number.]]

Next, they appeared on the soundtrack to ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'', with their SignatureSong "Live and Learn", and provided two original songs each for [[VideoGame/SonicHeroes the two]] [[VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog games after that]][[note]]"Sonic Heroes" and "What I'm Made Of..." for ''Heroes''; "I Am... All of Me" and "Never Turn Back" for ''Shadow''[[/note]]. After this time, their output has been mostly restricted to covers, with the primary exceptions of 2009's ''VideoGame/SonicAndTheBlackKnight'' (which features five new songs, one of which has guest vocals by All Ends[[note]]"Knight of the Wind", "Fight the Knight", "Through the Fire", "With Me", and "Live Life"[[/note]]) and 2019's ''VideoGame/TeamSonicRacing'' (which features another new song, "Green Light Ride").
