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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Asobi Seksu's song Taiyo speak of the presence of the sun, which becomes a symbol of hope and positivity. The repetition of the phrase "today the sun is shining" emphasizes the idea that even in the darkest periods of our lives, there is always something to hold onto and cherish. The song's upbeat tempo and the use of the major key enhance the positive message of the lyrics.

However, the lyrics also reveal a certain level of ambiguity and darkness. The line "because I love you" is followed by a pause. This creates a sense of uncertainty about who the singer is addressing. Is it a personal confession of love or a general statement about love and life? This ambiguity creates a contrast between the brightness of the sun and the darker meaning behind the lyrics. Overall, the interpretation of the song may vary from person to person, but the message that there is always hope is a universal one.
