They were later signed up to Warner Music Japan in 2001, and debuted in March with the single Yell, which reached #4 on Oricon charts. Though they steadily climbed in fame and sucess, their major break through single was Koko ni Shika Sakanai Hana in 2005, which was used as the theme song to the dorama Ruri no Shima. It was so sucessful that it became the #15 single of the year. Their next single Sakura also continued on with the extreme sucess that they had gained, reaching #61 on the 2005 yearly charts yet still charting highly throughout 2006.

Miss You
コブクロ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
切なくて ただ悲しくて
心から愛したから 願いかけたから
目の前で崩れる時
息も出来なかった
君と初めて行った あの海岸を
一人歩くと
砂がやけに重たくて
あの日の様には 歩けない
I miss you so much
言葉選びながら君は
別れの言葉を告げたね
僕にくれた最後の優しさ
今も波の音聞くたびに 寄せては返す
あの恋はもう 消えた砂の城
人はみな 恋の中で 心狂わせる
自らも止められぬほど
坂道を転がるように 突然訪れる
別れなど見えなかった 光で眩しくて
君じゃ無い誰かに心委ねて
街を歩いても
あなたの影映していた
押し殺した感情なのに
忘れることなど 出来なくて
I miss you so much
ただそばで笑い合えてた
何気ないその毎日が
目に浮かぶよ 走馬灯のように
今も 笑顔もすねた顔も
回り続ける
あの時はもう 幻のように
I miss you so much
言葉選びながら君は
別れの言葉を告げたね
僕にくれた最後の優しさ
今も波の音聞くたびに
寄せては返す
あの恋はもう 消えた砂の城
もし願いが叶うならば
「もう一度」なんて言わないよ
出会う前の二人に戻しておくれ
存在さえも知らぬままでいさせて
出逢うはずも無いほど 遠い街へ
想うたびに まぶた震えだす
The lyrics to コブクロ's song miss you express the pain and longing of a person who has lost someone they loved deeply. The tears of sadness are shaking their eyelids, and they feel nothing but overwhelming sorrow. They had wished for their love to last forever, but it crumbled before their eyes, leaving them unable to breathe. The memories of the happy moments they shared become painful reminders of what they have lost. The person tries to move on, walking alone on the beach they once visited with their love, but the sand feels too heavy to walk on, and they miss their lost love terribly.
The person remembers the last words their love spoke to them, a gentle farewell, and how even now, every time they hear the sound of the waves, they feel their love's presence. They realize their love has become a castle of sand that was washed away by the tides of life. They acknowledge that everyone goes mad with love, and its passing can be like a sudden and dizzying descent down a slope. Despite trying to suppress their emotions and move on, they cannot forget their love, and every moment spent with them, both happy and sad, continues to replay in their mind like a revolving lamp.
The lyrics end with a plea to go back in time to before they met their lost love, as existing without them is unbearable. The person wishes to be left in a state where they never met, and their love became an impossible dream. The feelings of longing and sadness trigger their tears and make their eyelids shake.
