ゴールデンボンバー strives to make their live performances comedic, interactive, and entertaining. They achieve this by performing skits between songs, and using props throughout their shows. The band is also known for their parodies of famous visual kei bandmen and Japanese pop culture icons. An example of this would be "GOCKT", 鬼龍院翔's portrayal of popular Japanese singer, GACKT. In 2009, ゴールデンボンバー released 剃り残した夏, a movie starring the four of them involved in a complicated love story. An accompanying soundtrack with music from the film was also released.

ゴールデンボンバー Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

当たり前になってた君との日々が
もうすぐ終わりを迎える
数え切れない笑顔を
見せてくれたよね、いつでも
誰かに傷つけられ
泣いていた君を
見かけて僕の胸は痛む
そんな事がある度

大切な人だと教わる
ありがとう、君に逢えた
それだけが僕の人生の中で
最高の宝物だから
いつまでも花は枯れない
君だけを見ていた
君だけを想った
「ありがとう」って言わなきゃ、
言わなきゃ、言わなきゃあ...
君が居なくなる前に

突然君が現れた
あの時から僕らは
今までとは何もかもが違う
人生だったね
君だけに言えない
君を見て言えない
「大好きだ」って言わなきゃ、
言わなきゃ、言わなきゃあ...
春が来てしまう前に
ありがとう、君に逢えた
それだけで僕の人生の中に
いくつもの花を咲かせたから
踏まれても、蹴られても
この花だけは枯れない
また今日も言えない
携帯もあるのに
伝えたい事が多すぎて、
重すぎて、愛しすぎるから
君だけを見ていた
君だけを想った
「ありがとう」って言わなきゃ、

言わなきゃ、言わなきゃあ...
君が君が居なくなる前に
