Following their successful first arena tour, the band announced the release of a best-of compilation titled 5, which included remastered tracks from their previous albums, as well as three new songs, which was globally released on July 8, 2020, along with the music video for the song "Theater". On February 18, 2021, Ohmori left to make his solo debut and by the end of the year, it was revealed that Yamanaka and Takano would be departing from the group also. After a short hiatus, the remaining members made a comeback in 2022 releasing "Soranji", the lead single from their fifth studio album Antenna, their first album as a trio, which appeared on July 4, 2023.
