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 ↴
もっと走れと言い聞かして 無謀にも そっと風上へ
来た道を一瞥 ゆとりは御免 四面楚歌 参戦に次ぐ one game
「山あり谷あり崖あり」 塵は積もってく
果てしない旅の途中で 街のはずれに立ち寄る
疲れた両足をそっと投げ出して 寝転ぶと 繰り返される浅い眠り
何度も同じあの横顔 何度も同じあの言葉を
タバコの煙が宙をうねり (宙をうねり) 虚ろに消える
きっとまだ力なき幼い日に
見なくていい悲しみを 見てきた君は今
こらえなくていい涙を こらえて過ごしてる
ほんとのことだけで 生きてゆけるほど
僕らは強くないさ 強くなくていい
いい?
持ち上げた瞼 世界は春だ 桜色の風をかきわけて
遥か彼方へ向かう途中 この菜の花畑に君はいたのかな
この空に鳥の白いはばたきを 僕が探す間きっと
君は大地に耳を澄まし 蟻の黒い足音を探したんだろうな
ピエロのような (ピエロのような) 仮面を剥いで
太陽に忘れられた丘に立ち
月の光を浴びて 深く息を吸う
皿の割れる音も 怒鳴り声もない世界
温もりがなくたって 生きてはゆけるさ
だけど僕ら生きてるだけじゃ足りなくて
芽吹く大地や (芽吹く大地や) 分厚い幹や (分厚い幹や)

The lyrics to Aqua Timez's song Velonica seem to be about the journey of life and finding oneself in a confusing and overwhelming world. The singer starts by singing about struggling and being lost in popular trends, but pretending to be happy and continuing to move forward. They are urged to keep running, even if it seems reckless, and to look ahead instead of dwelling on past mistakes. The lyrics suggest that life is a never-ending journey, full of ups and downs and hardships, but also beauty and wonder.
The singer then describes a moment of rest in the journey, where they stop at the outskirts of a town and lay down, feeling tired and overwhelmed. They think back on memories of a past love or relationship, wondering if they were the only one feeling sad in the world. They reflect on the innocence and vulnerability of childhood, and how it can shape a person's experience of the world. The lyrics suggest that finding truth and meaning in life is a constant struggle, and that there are no easy answers. In the end, the singer seems to accept that life can be difficult and uncertain, but that it is still worth living and exploring.

My teenage was amazing. I am literally crying right now. Such a good show, reminds me of the time when the only thing I worried about was getting good grades. Life was simple. Me and my nerd friends would talk about Bleach 24/7. I've since lost contact with all of them.
@raiyanahmadsaadi8220
I feel you bro. These bleach theme songs helped pass my A Levels. my nerd friends did't watch bleach though.
