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.

Aqua Timez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
広い芝生のある公園
白いペンキの塗られた
ベンチに座りながら
あなたは遠くを眺めて
「幸せはどこまで続くの?」
と呟いて
瞬きの中に涙を閉じ込めた
明日のことは
僕も教えてあげられない
まして十年後の二人のことは
僕らが生きられるのは
今この瞬間だけ
だから永遠を放棄して
今あなたを抱きしめる
走れ 走れ 僕の自転車
あなたを乗せて どこまでも行く
夢が夢で終わらないように
「運命」のせいにしないように
青空の下 花咲く丘へ
僕ら進み始めた
僕の心 あなたの心
結ぶ糸をギターのように
弾いて鳴らしたら
どんなメロディーができるかな
しっかりと手を繋ぎながら
楽しい曲を作ってゆこう
決して美しい音色でなくたっていいさ
始まりには必ず
終わりが訪れる
咲いた花は
いつの日か散るだろう
だけど 僕らは悲しい
歌を歌うためだけに
この世に生まれてきた
訳じゃないはずだから
走れ 走れ 僕の自転車
あなたを乗せて どこまでも行く
僕らなりに 描いた夢が
誰かにとって ばかみたいでも
僕らの夢は 僕らにとって
輝く真実なのです
走れ 走れ 僕の自転車
あなたを乗せて どこまでも行く
たとえ 辿り着くその場所に
哀しい雨が降り続けても
僕があなたを 力の限り尽くし
守ってみせる
The lyrics of Aqua Timez's song 自転車 tell a story of a couple on a beautiful day in a park. The girl is looking into the distance contemplating how long happiness lasts, while the boy cannot predict what will happen tomorrow (let alone ten years later). However, they both realize that they are alive in the present moment and thus decide to cherish it forever by holding each other close. The chorus urges the listener to keep going, despite the uncertain future, and never give up on their dreams or label them as mere fate. The song emphasizes that even if dreams may seem foolish to others, they are the shining truth to the dreamer.
The metaphor of a bicycle represents how the couple is riding towards their dreams together, both individually and as a team. The bicycle symbolizes freedom, exploration, and a journey that never ends. The lyrics also mention that the music they create together may not always be beautiful, but as long as they are holding hands and enjoying each other's company, that's all that matters. The ending verse emphasizes the idea of protecting the person you love, no matter what happens, even if it is raining and the destination seems unreachable.
