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.

Tashika na riyuu nantenai kedo kono basho niwa itakunai
Kono munashisa wa dokokara kite doko ni yuku
Kanashimi to wa mata sukoshi dake chigau
Kokoro ni aita ana wo fukinukeru kaze ga tsumetakute (KIRI KIRI) to itamu
Shiawase no ate wa nai kedo dokoka tooku e ikitakatta
Kakenukeru marude iki isogu ka no you ni
Yami no soko hikari no choujou zen to aku ga doukyo suru kokoro
Kireigoto dewa kakushi kirenai yowasa wo daremo ga motteru
Moshimo negaigoto ga hitotsu kanau toshite omoidoori no sekai wo te ni shitemo

The lyrics of Aqua Timez's song "Perfect World" are about the search for happiness in a world that can sometimes feel empty and unsatisfying. The singer describes the mixed emotions that they feel, comparing them to the uncertain sound of a trumpet. They have no clear reason for feeling this way, but they know that they don't want to stay in this place that brings them so much pain.
The chorus of the song expresses a desire to escape to a faraway place, where they can find meaning and fulfillment. The singer acknowledges that they have unresolved feelings, but they are determined to push forward with their life and confront their pain. The final lines of the song speak to the power of determination, and how even when things seem bleak, there is always a reason to keep going.
Overall, "Perfect World" is a song about hope and the search for happiness in the midst of sadness and emptiness. It speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost and uncertain, while still striving for something better.

かゆ
最近、なんとなく落ち込んで
夜、散歩中に聴いてる。
幸せのあてはないけど、どこか遠くに行きたい
めい
中学生の頃、悩んで悩んで悩んで、Aqua Timezの曲が心の拠り所でした。そこで、悩みをファンレターにのせて送りました。その後この曲がプルメリアのカップリングになって出て、「Aqua Timezは私の気持ちをわかってくれてるんだ」と心底喜んでいたのを思い出します笑
いつまでも大好きです。
トラックうどん
なんだろなぁ〜何もない日常に刺さる音楽！
多分人間の本質の曲やと思う！
あ
反抗期の悲鳴にも似た 曖昧でじれったい感情
確かな理由なんてないけど この場所にはいたくない
この空しさは何処から来て何処に行く
悲しみとはまた少しだけ違う
心に開いた穴を吹き抜ける風が 冷たくて キリキリと痛む
幸せのあてはないけど どこか遠くへ行きたかった
満たされぬ想いが 幾重にも重なり
駆け抜ける まるで生き急ぐかのように
闇の底 光の頂上 善と悪が同居する心
綺麗事では 隠しきれない弱さを誰もが持ってる
もしも願い事が一つ叶うとして 思い通りの世界を手にしても
またすぐに何かが足りないと嘆いて
ここじゃない何処かに想いを馳せるんだ
霧の向こうにあるのが 夢見た世界なのだろうか
本当の勇気とは そこに行く事なの?
辿り着くことで悲しみは 消え去るの?
なんとなくの中で 確かなものに出会う
足元に咲く一輪の花 その場所で 深く根をはる
幸せのあてはないけど どこか遠くへ行きたかった
満たされぬ想いが 幾重にも重なり
駆け抜ける 駆け抜けて わかったこと
僕は何処まで行っても 僕でしかないということ
いわゆる一つの 諦めにも似た
決意で生きてゆく 命ある限り
