Takizawa Hideaki (滝沢秀明) and Imai Tsubasa (今井翼) were famous as members of Johnny's Jr. long before their debut. They debuted on September 11, 2002 after a year long fight with the management. They were first supposed to debut as solo artists, but neither they nor the fans wanted it. So, after sending letters and appealing to the company, they were finally allowed to remain a duo. They were signed under Avex Trax and have released two albums and six singles for the label.

When they are not working as a unit, both Tackey and Tsubasa are working on solo projects. They have starred in many TV dramas and musicals and have even had solo concerts in the fall/winter of 2005. Even though their solo projects met with a good response from the fans, they went back to working as a unit, releasing their most successful single to date in January 2006.

In between promoting their new single and mentions of a new album and movie projects, Tackey is starring in his own musical Takizawa Enbujou and Tsubasa is playing alongside Doumoto Kouichi (堂本光一) in his musical SHOCK. The duo disbanded September 10, 2018.

I feel I do
この街に咲く花
いのちのないかけらのようさ

I know I do
携帯のメモリー
逢いたくなる誰かがいない ooh

When did your heart stop loving me?
壊れそうだよ
息をしてる心にふれてほしいのに
Why did my heart cry loving me?
張り裂けそうに
愛がナイフのようなんだ
So はだかの true heart

I feel I do
声を忘れた僕
孤独にただ飼われた鳥さ ooh

When did your heart stop loving me?
壊れそうだよ
めぐり逢うすべて狂わせてゆく
Why did my heart cry loving me?
傷を残して (how could those feelings die)
愛はナイフのようなんだ
So 渇いた true heart (渇いた true heart)

いつだって遠くばかり
ぬくもりを探してる
いつもひとり
動けないまま cry wow (and if this must be so, darling I just have to go

When did your heart stop loving me? (loving me, yeah)
壊れそうだよ (yeah, yeah)
息をしてる心にふれてほしいのに (それだけ) (when we used to be so strong)
Why did my heart cry loving me?
張り裂けそうに
愛がナイフのようなんだ
So はだかの true heart

I feel I do
僕はここにいるよ

Overall Meaning

The song "True Heart" by タッキー＆翼 is a ballad about a person who is feeling lonely and forgotten. The mysterious lyrics are full of questions about why the other person has stopped loving them, and why their own heart is crying out for love. The first verse talks about how the flowers in the city have no life and feel like they are just fragments, which could symbolize the singer's own feelings of emptiness and disconnection. The second verse talks about the singer's own voice being forgotten and feeling like a bird trapped in a cage. The chorus is where the real emotion comes out, with the singer asking when the other person's heart stopped loving them and why their own heart is crying. They compare love to a knife and show their true heart, which is vulnerable and naked.

Overall, the song is about feeling alone and searching for warmth and love. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the theme of love and loss is clear throughout the song. The haunting melody and somber tone add to the emotional impact of the words. The singer's voice sounds raw and full of emotion, making the listener feel their pain and loneliness.
