In 1999, during their final high school year, the group represented the Kansai region in the All Japan Final of the 'Teen Music Festival'. They won the 'Encouragement Award' and were given the chance to record a demo, and have it distrubuted by a major label.
The demo was released February 11, 2001, and had the songs "FULL MOON PRAYER" and "Angel" on it. It sold well enough for them to sign a stronger contract and release more music.
After releasing nine singles, five albums, and one best compilation, the members of CORE OF SOUL decided to disband.
After an Asia-wide tour, the group official ceased on March 24, 2006.
Nakamura Fukiko is currently releasing her solo works under the name "LOVE".

CORE OF SOUL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あんなに小さくって
かわいかったのに時は
流れて君のウロコは
ぎらぎら光った醜い君を僕は嫌った
友達も新しい恋人もできた
僕は浮かれて
君を忘れたのにそんな
冬の朝ふっと君は泳いだ
あおむけになって
君の瞳に土をかぶせて
僕の心にも土をかぶせて
時が流れてまた春が来る
君が眠る庭のはしっこを僕は嫌った
You were supposed to be weak
in that squared world
but you grew so big
I was supposed to be strong but
without doing much I grew so big
ある晴れた日君が眠る
あの場所には紫の花が咲いた
君の赤い体は空の青さを
知ってこんなに
綺麗に変身してしまった
君の瞳に土をかぶせて
僕の心にも土をかぶせて
君の体には花が咲いて
僕の心には何も無くて
本当の強さをやっと知って
今さら空の青さに泣いて
The lyrics of "Boku to Kingyo" by CORE OF SOUL tell a story of a young boy and his pet goldfish. The boy caught the small and cute goldfish, but as time passed, the boy changed, and so did the goldfish. The boy became busier, more popular, and forgot about his pet. Meanwhile, the goldfish grew bigger, and its scales became ugly, which made the boy dislike it. Eventually, the boy realized that he had neglected his beloved pet and felt guilty. In the end, the goldfish died, and the boy cried for it, realizing the true meaning of strength and the beauty of nature.
The song explores themes of neglect, growth, and transformation. The goldfish symbolizes the beauty and fragility of life, while the boy's experiences reflect the ups and downs of growing up. The lyrics are written in a poetic and introspective way, inviting the listener to reflect on their own experiences with growth and loss.
