One of the album tracks 'old lighthouse' became the #1 trending track on Spotify as Japanese artists, and 'invasion' was used as the credit roll tune of 'Girl Lost', a US movie which was the #1 trending movie on Amazon Prime Video. Two years later, Anoice released a compilation album 'selected works' featuring their ambient tracks on 1631 Recordings in Sweden and started to distribute it via Universal Music, Anoice and the members of Anoice, Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata then hold European and Asian tours every year. In 2019, Anoice released three consecutive weekly singles in May, and then released their 5th album, 'Ghost in the Clocks' in August, which Anoice wrote to express the world that followed their 3rd album, 'The Black Rain'. This album and each song within the album became the #1 and top 10 most streamed/downloaded instrumental music on Apple Music and iTunes Store in over 20 countries. In addition, Anoice recorded some songs from Anoice and the members' solo projects; Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, with 20-piece orchestra in Moscow and some of the recorded songs were included in a concert exclusive compilation album. In 2020, because of the effects of the coronavirus, Anoice decided to cancel all upcoming tours but soon after, they released their 4th EP 'invisible wall' writing with emotions which can only be expressed in a time like this. In 2021, Anoice released their 6th album 'The Hidden Forest' after the longest ever production period in their history. This album took inspiration from 17 paintings of the forest painted by Naoko Okada, and includes 17 songs with the same title as each of the paintings, with a total length of 72 minutes.

This album is the final chapter of the trilogy about the modern history of humans, which follows up the Anoice's third album 'The Black Rain' and fifth album 'Ghost in the Clocks'. It could be said that Anoice's culmination of their entire career built by the beautiful soundscape of the magnificent orchestra-like sound and destructive noise.
