In 2006, the group would go on to release their second mini-album with seven songs. Later in the same year, it was announced that they would provide the theme song to the movie version of the anime Bleach. The song, Beyond the Thousands of Nights. (千の夜をこえて Sen no Yoru wo Koete?) entered the Oricon singles chart with the 5th position and would go on to sell over 100,000 copies.
Later that year, the full first album for the band was released. Kaze wo Atsumete was their first full length album and reached a peak position of 3rd on the Oricon charts. Since its release, the album has sold over 200,000 copies. Shiori, their third single, was used in commercials for a brand of beverage known as Mitsuya Cider.
The following year in 2007 the band would return to Bleach. Their fourth single, Alones, was used as the 6th opening song for the anime, as well as another song, Velonica, which would be used as the 10th opening.
Their first single, Ketsui no Asa ni, is used as a song in the movie version of Brave Story.

The Aqua Timez song "Sen no Yoru wo Koete" expresses the longing for someone they love, but are unsure if their feelings are reciprocated. The first verse discusses the difficulty of expressing their love, despite wanting to be loved in return. The repetition of "suki na hito ni wa suki tte tsutaeru n da" highlights the importance of being honest about one's feelings. The second verse talks about the beauty of the world, but the difficulty in expressing the joy found in sharing it with someone they love. The final verse discusses the fear of being vulnerable and how they have struggled in the past with being open with their feelings. The chorus reinforces their desire to overcome these fears and express their love to the person they care about.
The song's title "Sen no Yoru wo Koete" roughly translates to "Crossing Thousands of Nights" and is an idiom expressing the idea of overcoming challenges or persevering through hardship over a long period of time. The song was used as the theme song for the Japanese drama "A Good Wife" and was released as a single in 2010.

Title:千の夜をこえて
Artist:Aqua Timez
Lyrics:太志
Music:太志
愛されたい でも 愛そうとしない その繰り返しのなかを彷徨って
僕が見つけた答えは一つ 怖くたって 傷付いたって
好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ
｢あなたが僕を愛してるか､愛してないか｣なんてことは もうどっちでもいいんだ
どんなに願い望もうが この世界には変えられぬものが 沢山あるだろう
そう そして僕があなたを 愛してるという事実だけは 誰にも変えられぬ真実だから
千の夜をこえて あなたに伝えたい 伝えなきゃならないことがある
愛されたい でも 愛そうとしない その繰り返しのなかを彷徨って
僕が見つけた答えは一つ 怖くたって 傷ついたって 好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ
気持ちを言葉にするのは怖いよ でも 好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ
この広い世界で 巡り会う喜びを言葉じゃ言い表せないね
だから僕達は微笑み 色鮮やかに過ぎる秋をドレミで唄って
冬を背に 春の木漏れ日を待ち 新しく生まれ変わる 誰かを守れるようにと
来た道と行き先 振り返ればいつでも 臆病な目をしていた僕
向き合いたい でも 素直になれない まっすぐに相手を 愛せない日々を
繰り返しては ひとりぼっちを嫌がったあの日の僕は 無傷なままで人を愛そうとしていた
千の夜をこえて 今あなたに会いに行こう 伝えなきゃならないことがある
愛されたい でも 愛そうとしない その繰り返しのなかを彷徨って
僕が見つけた答えは一つ 怖くたって 傷付いたって 好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ
その想いが叶わなくたって 好きな人に好きって伝える それはこの世界で一番素敵なことさ
SAORI
考察しなくてもわかるストレートな歌詞が好き

好きな人には好きって伝える。当たり前なことだけどすごい素敵だよね。
疎かにしちゃいけないこと。
この歌ほんと好き！
