L'arc~en~ciel - Pieces. pretty nice song, I love the lyrics and the way Hyde sings.

nobodyknows+ debuted in 2003 on the Sony Music Associated Records label.

They have released several hit CD singles which include "Kokoro Odoru", a song that was used for the ending theme for the popular anime TV series "SD Gundam Force" and included in the Nintendo DS game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan.

They released their critically acclaimed first album Do you know? in June 2004 and debuted at number one on the Japanese Oricon charts, a rare accomplishment for hip-hop groups in Japan. [1]

In 2005, the group wanted to help aspiring local artists, so they organized the NAGOYA MUSIC EXPO in September. The event brought in around 10,000 people.

In November 2005, nobodyknows+ released their second album titled 5MC&1DJ. The album featured their smash hit "Shiawase Nara Te o Tatakō" which was used as the theme song for the Japanese release of Kung Fu Hustle.

The group kept in public eye in 2006 with a national tour in February as they performed in every prefecture in Japan, which had not been previously done before by a hip-hop group. [2] The tour was captured and released in November as a DVD and Blu-ray release titled "nobodyknows+ Tour 2006 "5MC&1DJ" - Kuribo no Menkui Dochu Hizakurige".

The group performed their first overseas concert at Tokyo Night 2007 on 24 March in Long Beach, California, bringing their style of hip-hop/pop fusion to a U.S. audience.

The group’s recent single "Hero’s Come Back!!" was chosen as the first opening theme for the anime TV series “Naruto: Shippuden”.

migi te ni shiroi kami
 riyuu naki boku no e wo egaita tochuu de nage dasu
 sono hikaru ashita wo

A white paper in my right hand
 For no reason, I draw my pictures and throw them out midway through
 That lights up tomorrow

 hidari te yogashite
 na mo naki kimi no e wo egaita uchuu de deatta
 sono hikaru ashita wo
 tomedonai ao kieru keshiki owaru fuyu wo

My dirty left hand
 Unnamed, I drew your picture and came across it in space
 That lights up tomorrow
 Endless blue, disappearing scenery, an ending winter

 nuke dasu tobira wo shizumeru hidoi ame
 shimi komu kokoro no okusoko ni hibiite
 tayorinai ashita no hakanai omoi mo
 wazuka na hikari de kiri toru shiroi kage

 The terrible rain submerges the door that slips away
 It echoes in the bottom of my permeated heart
 Undependable tomorrow's fleeting memory
 Is also a white shadow cut off from a small light

 shosen tsuki sashite samayotte nuri tsubusu kimi no kyou mo
 tsumari endo & sutaato
 tsumi ageru yowai mahou

After all, even this stabbed, knocked about, blotted out you of today
 Will ultimately end and start
 This gathered-up weak magic

 yuen ushinatte samayotte tare nagasu boku no kyou wo
 hashiri dashita endo rooru
 tsumaranai imeeji wo kowase
 sou sa

The reason; for this lost, knocked about, soiled me of today
 The end credits started to run
 Break this boring image
 That's right

 kimi to boku de karamatte tsunagu mirai
 saishuu katachi no sono saki wo niau sedai

 With you and I, the future begins to connect to
 The world that carries the last figure at the end

 boku ga egaita sono kage ni kimi no mirai wa kasunde shimatta?

Has your future that I wrote to this shadow grown hazy?

 shosen tsuki sashite samayotte nuri tsubusu kimi no kyou mo
 tsumari endo & sutaato
 tsumi ageru yowai mahou

After all, even this stabbed, knocked about, blotted out you of today
 Will ultimately end and start
 This gathered-up weak magic

 yuen ushinatte samayotte tare nagasu boku no kyou wo
 hashiri dashita endo rooru
 tsumaranai imeeji wo kowase
 sou sa

The reason; for this lost, knocked about, soiled me of today
 The end credits started to run
 Break this boring image
 That's right

Can you master baby? master baby!
Can't you master baby? So long...

Can you master baby? master baby!
Can't you master baby? master baby!

One Night Carnival fun fun

We're swallowed up in a vortex of light, without shining at all
Shine through the clouds, pale moon, shine
The stars shine in the distance, it's a lonely man's legend
One night carnival, fun fun

kaze ni kaoru Tactics ga ore no mune wo shime tsukeru Angel

The tactics that I smell on the wind press against my chest, angel

Can't you master baby? So long...

Can you master baby? master baby!
Can't you master baby? master baby!
Can you master baby? Be my baby!!
Can't you master baby? So long...

(Spoken) "ore tachi ga yasagureta koto ni wake nante nakatta yo
tada sukoshi dake bukiyou datta no ka mo shirenai"

(Spoken) "We didn't have any reason to run away
I think that we were just a little bit immature"

koi shite iru no sa kono yoru ni koi shiteru no sa
yagate umi ga mieru samishigari ya tachi no densetsu sa
One Night Carnival fun fun

I love it, I love this night
Soon we'll be able to see the sea, it's a lonely man's legend
One night carnival, fun fun

Thrill, performed by Tomoyasu Hotei

Trivia
"Thrill" is one of the songs in the music game Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan

Guts da ze by Ulfuls.

Pretty catchy I must say.

-----Trivia----
The band name Ulfuls is derived from a misreading of the word "soulful," found on the cover of one of the band members' favorite records.

Their hit, "Baka Survivor" was used as the song for the second opening of the oddball anime Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.

Their song "Gattsu Da Ze!" was covered and used in DS rhythm action title Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, on the level in which the player must cheer a race-horse on to victory, and to capturing a thief.

The song Tsugihagi Boogie Woogie appeared on the Beverly Hills Ninja sound track.

PRIDE Fighter Shinya Aoki uses "Baka Survivor" as his enterance music.

I really like this one, it has a gloomy feeling , and it's romantic at the same time.

Manatsu no yoru no yume- A midnight summer dream by Suga Shikao

That's the title for this song, and I podcast it purely for my pleasure, I love it.

Wait for more!
