On March 3, 2009 they released their first full-length album, 'Dawn Metropolis', featuring 7 songs that pushed the chiptune-rock formula to a new level and included a website full of visual landscapes for the tracks. The following Summer the band began releasing free downloadable "summer singles" on their website: 'Airbrushed', 'My Skateboard Will Go On', Aurora (Meet me in the Stars)', and 'Mess'. The band was later commissioned by Universal & Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley to create 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game (Original Videogame Soundtrack)' to coincide with the movie of the same title.
In 2013, Anamanaguchi released their first live action music video featuring a new single MEOW. During a hugely successful Kickstarter Campaign with the promise of making it "more than just an album", the band released 'Endless Fantasy', a 22-track full-length album under their own record label, 'dream.hax'. Setting the stage for a new era in Guch history, the band reaches the far ends of the galaxy with its sound and has no sign of slowing down here on spaceship earth! ( n_n)b

Prom Night
Anamanaguchi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I’m still thinking of you
You’re like the lighter to my cigarette
Can’t set the flame without you
And if you want me to come over, baby
Then that’s what I’m gonna do
Just give me all your loving and don’t slow down
Go down and take me up to heaven
Oh, how I live just to be next to you
I need you here with me forever
I live for you to love me
La la, la la, la love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like it’s prom night
I wanna hold you close like it’s the very first time
La la, la la, la love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like it’s prom night
Wanna be this fantasy all night with you
Go down and take me up to heaven
I live for you to love me
Take me up to heaven
La la, la la, la love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like it’s prom night
I wanna hold you close like it’s the very first time
La la, la la, la love me, love me, love me, love me
Love me like it’s prom night
Wanna be this fantasy all night with you

The lyrics of Anamanaguchi’s “Prom Night” speak of a longing for someone despite being with others. The opening line conveys this idea as the singer suggests that they could be lying next to anyone, but they are still thinking of the person they desire. The simile of a lighter to a cigarette is used to show how crucial this person is to the singer's existence. The singer cannot experience passion without them, just as a cigarette cannot be lit without a lighter.
The chorus re-emphasizes the significance of the person through repetition of the phrase “love me like it’s prom night”. The idea of prom night represents a time of excitement and heightened emotion, where the singer wants to experience the ultimate fantasy with the person they want to be with forever. The desire to be loved and held close is described as though it’s the very first time, representing how important the person is to the singer.
The lyrics convey a deep desire for a person and their love, highlighting the importance of love and how people need someone to love them. The song’s upbeat tempo, along with its nostalgic sound, enhances the idea of the singer longing for prom night with this particular person.

Is it weird that the first 30 seconds or so is my favorite part of the song? I love the vocals and the rest of it too, but there's something about the slow crescendo into the bass drop that just does it for me. It makes me think of the fade to black + credits roll of a really good movie. It just leaves me feeling happy.
@noxmoonyisadork
SO true, I love love the first 30 seconds and you put it so well :D
@cobraxstar2
We should get the creators of Wreck It Ralph 2 to put this song as the credits song
@KevinWeberYo
Just got chills imagining this, thank you :)
@treyfreeman5992
I can definitely agree. This whole song is a mood-lifter.
Really though, all of Anamanaguchi is a mood-lifter.
@SuaNam08
Agree!
@keitwr
This song should be more famous. It's probably their best song on that album and it kills any other pop song I've heard so far in the past months lol.
@coolhomedog
