The Kimaguren duo are: ISEKI (real name Iseki Yasumasa (井関靖将)) as vocalist, guitarist, and main composer, and KUREI (real name Kurei Yuuki (榑井勇輝)) as vocalist and main lyricist.
ISEKI and KUREI originally met in 1996 (when they were 16) at a swimming school in Zushi. They both spent a lot of time living in Zushi, although they have lived in different places: ISEKI spent time living in Singapore when he was an infant and KUREI lived in Canada/Europe from when he was 5 until he was 9. KUREI also went to the Yokohama International School from age 9 and was an exchange student to Tasmania when he was 13. The pair separated for university: KUREI left for America and studied medical sciences at Syracuse University in New York State, while ISEKI stayed in the province and studied law at Meiji Gakuin University at Yokohama.
In May 2005, the pair formed Kimaguren. Originally it was to be a solo project featuring only ISEKI, but KUREI also joined (he wanted to be in a band since he was 17). ISEKI's original name for his solo project was Kimagure (きまぐれ; Whim), but at one of their early performances at live houses, their name appeared by mistake as Kimaguren (キマグレン) (with an extra letter/katakana character), hence they decided to use this name instead. Their first release was in March 2006 with the single Omoi Omoi, which they self-released.
In July 2007, the pair released a mini-album called LIFE under the indies label UNDER HORSE RECORDS (known for such acts as MONKEY MAJIK and GReeeeN). In summer of 2007 they were signed to major label Universal, and songs from this mini-album started to receive tie-ups (most notably Tokoshie NTT DoCoMo CM song and Sony Ericsson CM song), which was added to the massively successful compilation album Ai no Uta). In February 2008 they debuted with the single Aenai Uta, and later in May became widely successful after their single LIFE (a cut from their mini-album) was used as the au Smart Sports CM song. Their debut album ZUSHI was released in July.

白の日記
キマグレン Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
今までにないほど
隠れていたスキのキモチ
I'm in the mood of kissing you
心と心がくっつき合う
幸せという言葉のmeaningなんて
I don't know but
thinkin' about you
どうやったらthis feeling
her heartに届く
心の中でキミを呼んだ
そしたらこっち向いてキミ笑った
秋に落ち葉の道を歩いた
乾いた風が辺りを包むんだ
冬になれば雪のジュータンが
二人の行く先を照らすんだ
空に輝く星のシャワーが
暗い夜をなくすんだ
いつかキミと...
淡いキタイを踊らせて
雪の中ではしゃぐキミを見てた
心模様カガミのように映し出して
ポケットの中繋ぐ手あったかいね
震える肩を抱き寄せて
キスしようよ ねぇ
今日も相も変わらず
キミをどうやって喜ばそうと考える
いつも通りじゃダメで冷めて
It's pretty hard to keep it
わがままでスキ放題毎回
Really, it's not easy but
やめらんない
そこも全部含めて良くて
この先もそんな君を見させて
春に別々の道進んだ
桜が二人を励まして
夏に白く光るbeachで
ふたたび再会を叶えて
空に浮かぶmy wish & her wish
ギュッと、結びつけて
ずっとキミと...
淡いキタイを躍らせて
いつもキミの隣は 落ち着くんだ
ドキドキもいつまでも感じている
一目見た時 気付いていたんだ
今までにないほど
隠れていたスキのキモチ
ポケットの中繋ぐ手あったかいね
震える肩を抱き寄せて
キスしようよ ねぇ
キスしようよ ねぇ

春に別々の道進んだ 桜が二人を励まして
We walked separate paths in spring, but the cherry blossoms encouraged us both

We met again on a white, glowing beach in the summer
空に浮かぶmy wish & her wish ギュッと、結びつけて ずっとキミと...
Our wishes floating in the sky, tightly tied together. Always with you...
淡いキタイを躍らせて
Let's dance to our light-hearted desires
いつもキミの隣は 落ち着くんだ ドキドキもいつまでも感じている
I feel calm next to you every time. I'll also feel the excitement forever.
キスしようよ ねぇ キスしようよ ねぇ
Let's kiss, okay? Let's kiss, okay?
