Iguchi's achievements are closely tied to King Gnu's success. The band's albums have consistently topped the Oricon charts, and their single "Hakujitsu" became one of the most streamed Japanese songs of 2019. Performing at the 72nd NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 2021 marked a major milestone, as the show is considered the highest honor for Japanese musicians. King Gnu's songs have been featured in major anime series, expanding their international reach.
