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.

キマグレン Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
必ず聴いていた
幼い頃に誰かが唄ったMELODY
お金を出しても買えない
ネットで検索しても出てこない
頭の中で繰り返す唄は
下向く君へのMELODY
辛い時でも
口ずさんだ唄を
今度は君に伝えたい
また僕から始まる
心のバトンは
まだ見ぬ君の元に
届いてくれたなら
また君から繋がる
心のバトンが
僕も知らない誰かの
背中を押すのかな
Can't find it on YouTube or mixi
Can't download it not
even for free
Can't find it on
myspace or facebook
You just have to
know where to look
海岸線走るCAR STEREO
「次の曲は...」とDJ from RADIO
流れだした唄は
幼い頃に聴いたMELODY
伝言ゲームの様に
誰かが僕に
口ずさんだ唄を
今度は君に聴かせたいから ...
Pass the word on and on
Hurry before it becomes
dawn and gone
Just this song must be this song
Pass the word on and on
Like a baton in a relay
Rush before it's too late
Like a baton in a relay
Rush before it's late
122歳まで生きた
世界で一番長生きした人
誰に何を伝え
何を言い残したのだろう
70億人の全ての人に
僕一人で伝え切れないなら
この手に想いを込めて
明日に託すんだ
また僕から始まる
心のバトンは
まだ見ぬ誰かの元に
届いてくれたなら
また君から繋がる
心のバトンが
僕も知らない誰かの
背中を押すのだろう
The lyrics of キマグレン's song LIFE -STUDIO APARTMENT REMIX- touch on the power of music in our lives. The song talks about the influence that a melody we heard in our childhood has on our lives. Despite growing up, struggling with life's challenges, and feeling down, the melody brings us hope and reminds us of the happy times. We may not be able to find the melody on any streaming or social media platform but we can still pass it on to other people who need it just as we did when we were young. By doing so, the melody becomes a baton that we pass from one person to the next, helping each other face the challenges of life.
The song also refers to the life of the longest living person in the world who lived for 122 years. It poses a rhetorical question about what this person may have left behind and what message they may have left for the world. The song acknowledges that there is too much for any single person to achieve on their own, but that by passing on the baton, we can all contribute to making the world a better place.
Overall, the lyrics of the song highlight the importance of music and the power of community in our lives.
