In 1993 British dance music duo Band of Gypsies and singer Miriam Stockley released an album of cover versions of ZOO songs called "Song of ZOO Meets House Style". After disbanding in 1995, a former member, Hiroyuki Igarashi, made the band  Luv Deluxe debut in 1996, but it was soon disbanded in 1997. In 1999, he formed the band J Soul Brothers, which was renamed Exile in 2001, which in turn re-made the song "Choo Choo Train" in 2003 and quickly became one of their biggest hits. Discography.
