The band's roots trace back to 1975, when Kuwata Keisuke was part of a popular group Better Days. The group saw many changes to its name and members. It was when keyboardist Hara Yuko and bassist Sekiguchi Kazuyuki joined the group that it had a permanent name.
After more and more changes of members, the group finally saw light as they released their debut single 'Katte ni Sinbad' in 1978.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
それがシビれるしぐさ
心にいつもアナタだけを映しているの
恋は言葉じゃなく 二人だけの story, yeah
Lady, my lady, my lady
I wonder if you can love me, oh no, oh no
泣いているのか知らないフリでも
涙の中にいつも想い出が見えるから
渚にしなやかに 通り過ぎてく melody
Lady, my lady, my lady
I love you more than you love me, oh no, oh no
つれない素振りの long-brown-hair
ね どうしてなのなぜに泣けるの
ひところのアナタに戻る
この時こそ大事な twight-light game
彼女が髪を指で分けただけ
それがシビれるしぐさ
心にいつもアナタだけを映しているの
このまま二人して 小麦色の memory, yeah
Lady, my lady, my lady
No one could love you like I do, oh no, oh no
つれない素振りの long-brown-hair
ね どうしてなのなぜに泣けるの
ひところのアナタに戻る

The lyrics of the song 栞のテーマ by サザンオールスターズ describe the feelings of a person in love who is hoping for reciprocation of their feelings from the one they love. The opening lines talk about how even the simple act of the person running their fingers through their hair can send shivers down the singer's spine. The singer sees only the person they love reflected in their heart, and the love between them is a story that cannot be expressed through words alone.
The second verse suggests that even if the person the singer loves sheds tears, they may pretend not to know the reason but they can still see memories in their tears. The melody of the song flows like waves by the shore, suggesting a carefree atmosphere. The love between the two people is strong, but the singer is unsure about the reciprocation of their feelings from the other person.
The chorus repeats several times with the same pattern, emphasizing the deep, unrequited love generated from the singer towards the person they love.
