The band consisted of Yuki Chikudate (vocals, keyboards), James Hanna (guitar, vocals), Billy Pavone (bass) and Larry Gorman (drums). The band's name in Japanese consists of two words, "asobi" meaning "play" or "for fun", and "sekkusu" the Japanese transliterated word for "sex".

Their sound has been said to draw influence from the shoegazing movement of the late 1980s to early 1990s, which was coined to describe the textured and effects-heavy sound of alternative rock in that era.

Asobi Seksu released their eponymous debut album in 2004. The band regrouped with a new rhythm section for their second album, Citrus, which was recorded in Gigantic Studios, New York City with producer Chris Zane.

One Little Indian Records re-released the band's first album Asobi Seksu and the follow-up Citrus in 2006.

The band changed its name to Asobi Seksu from the previous name Sportfuck when they signed to their current label.

The band announced an indefinite hiatus on September 30, 2013, but hinted that they hope to create more music eventually.

Asobi Seksu Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I look out the window
I can see that it's been building
But I don't seem to know
How many hours I've been sleeping

In my head
In my head
In my head

In my head

I can't recall
How many hours I've spent dreaming
But I look at the mirror
I can see that it's been raining

In my head
In my head

In my head
In my head

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Asobi Seksu's song In My Head suggest the juxtaposition of the reality and perception of the world within an individual's mind. The opening lines describe the view from the window and how something has been building outside, but the person is too caught up in their thoughts to pay attention. This indicates a detachment from reality and a preoccupation with their own mindscape. The repetition of "In my head" further emphasizes this focus on the internal world. The second stanza continues this theme, with the singer looking at their reflection and realizing it's been raining, indicating that they have been lost in thought for an extended period of time. The use of the mirror as a device shows how the person is not only detached from the world outside but also from themselves. They are ambiguous about how much time they have spent dreaming, suggesting that they may have spent more time in a fantasy than in the real world.

In essence, the song paints a picture of someone who is overwhelmed by their thoughts, struggling to reconcile their internal world with external reality. The use of the chorus and simple melody reflects the cyclical and unrelenting nature of intrusive thoughts that can often feel overpowering.

I look out the window
I gaze through the windowpane

I can see that it's been building
I notice the storm clouds gathering in the sky

But I don't seem to know
However, I am unaware

How many hours I've been sleeping
Of how long I've been slumbering

In my head
Yet, in my imagination

In my head
In my mind's eye

In my head
In my thoughts and feelings

In my head
Within my consciousness

I can't recall
I cannot fondly remember

How many hours I've spent dreaming
The length of time I've spent lost in reverie eludes me

But I look at the mirror
Although, when I glance at my reflection
