Famed for their ability in both dancing and singing, and for their good looks, Da Pump's debut as four members, Issa, Ken, Yukinari, and Shinobu, came in 1997 with the song "Feelin' Good - It's PARADISE". The group originally came from Okinawa Actors School but are now part of the Avex Network and are produced by Akio Togashi. Their songs tend to have a quick tempo and often include elements of rap. Da Pump often appears in TV shows, movies, and magazines throughout Japan.
Following a DUI arrest in 2005, Shinobu temporarily suspended all activities from the group. However, on 7 April 2006, he officially announced that he has left the group. The remaining members of DA PUMP will continue on as three. During his leave, he returned to Okinawa and in a letter posted on his management company's website he explained that during his time there he felt an urge to perform the music of the perfecture and with those sentiments decided to leave the group. In December 2008, Yukinari also announced his leaving the group, and within hours, it was announced that Da Pump would add seven new members and become a multimedia entertainment group. In December 2009, Ken left the group to pursue a solo career, leaving Issa as the only remaining member from the groups original lineup.
In mid-2018, Da Pump made their comeback with the song "U.S.A.", which became a smash hit and somewhat popularized the famous dance move created by American rapper Blocboy JB, the Shoot, in Japan, as a result of the music video and choreography using said dance move during the chorus of the song.

DA PUMP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
廻り出せこの愛 go round!
世界中ふたり
だけのために (around the world)
もやもや more
うやむや more 風と去り
笑うんだ around the world
(Let's go around the world)
がんじがらめの毎日は
いったりきたりのくりかえし
まずいリズムじゃ踊れない
からまってる自分がくやしくて
逃げ道探してた君と出会う前は
迷うことはもう二度とふたりなら
Never and forever
とまらないこの愛 go round!
なにもかもふたり
だけのために (around the world)
高鳴り more
いとしさ more 感じあい
笑うんだ around the world
一秒ごとに歳をとる
少し前なら恐かった
今の気持ちを保てれば
大人もわるいもんじゃない
いつか誤解なんかで
けんかもするだろう
そんな時は目を見て
ただ kiss をしよう
Ever and forever
yeah yeah come on
わかったよなふりでしたり顔
決してなりたくない
典型でやなタイプ
風向き気にして指なめて
たたく石橋われりゃ
それまでのゲーム
俺は嵐に立ち向かう冒険家
愛とロマンと勇気ポッケ
つめこんでさ
憂鬱怠惰は過去にしまいこみ
君の手をひき go! (go!)
Around the world!
廻り出せこの愛 go round!
世界中ふたり
だけのために (around the world)
もやもや more
うやむや more 風と去り
笑うんだ around the world
とまらないこの愛 go round!
なにもかもふたり
だけのために (around the world)
高鳴り more
いとしさ more 感じあい
笑うんだ around the world
The lyrics of DA PUMP's song "Around the World" convey the message of an unbreakable bond between two people who are willing to go to any extent to preserve and cherish their love. The song emphasizes how the rigors and monotony of life can be overcome through the power of love. It starts with the two singers calling for their love to go around the world, and how they will be laughing while doing it. They highlight that the repetitiveness of daily life is something they can't dance to and that they used to be frustrated before finding each other. The chorus emphasizes how their love is unstoppable and that they do everything for each other, including going around the world. The bridge highlights how important it is to communicate and resolve issues with each other, even if they disagree with each other. The chorus comes back, signifying that their love will continue to go around the world and that they will continue to cherish and feel more and more fondness for each other.
