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.

見てる内に過去思い出してみる
大体が断片的に繋がる
見えない毒素に冒されてる
Tell me why 未だ答えは出ない
Survive or Cooperation
だけじゃねえっしょって
Tension 夜の街呑み込まれる
この街は不安と希望
入り組んでいるけれど
輝ける未来この歌で掴む
Night Walk And Thinking
どんな時でも Baby
Miss You And I Love
君と Oh Baby
Night Walk And Thinking
重なり合えば
分かり合えるさ Uh Baby
頭ん中聞こえるノイズ止めらんない
Everyday everynight 続く迷走
I think so 無理しない方が楽そう
楽勝でかざる勝利はまずそうでしょ
Like this ya'll
Take2はない life time
だからこそ truth 見つめてたい
I'm not 変態じゃないが
Fake I fate
そしてまた続く day by day
二人にはやるべきことが
今はまだあるけれど
輝ける未来この歌で掴む
Night Walk And Thinking
心配ないよ Baby
Miss You And I Love
君を Oh Baby
Night Walk And Thinking
目と目が合えば
分かり合えるさ Uh Baby
ぞくぞくと湧き出る闇の支配者的
夜は孤独好み飲み込んでく
もがく中差しのべた手に
ぎり返した瞬間は未だ鮮明
運命的な物事でもないが
不確かな物より数段マシか
確かな事はお前のその声が
Night Walk And Thinking

The song "Night Walk" by DA PUMP is about taking introspective walks around Tokyo at night and reflecting on the past, present, and future. The lyrics describe the towering buildings of Tokyo and how they trigger memories from the past. The memories are fragmented, and the writer is being affected by invisible toxins. They ask themselves why the answers to their questions haven't revealed themselves yet and whether surviving alone is enough or if cooperation is necessary. They feel the tension while being swallowed by the night streets, and their loneliness is being sucked up into the sky. The city is a mix of anxiety and hope, but they believe they can grasp a shining future through this song. The chorus explains that even during a night walk, they still miss and love someone, and if they overlap and make eye contact, they are able to understand each other.
The second verse speaks about how the writer can't stop the noise in their head and how they're wandering aimlessly every day and night. They come to realize that it's easier not to force things and that a cheap, uncovered victory is not worth it. They want to focus on the truth and not be fake. They know that things won't change unless they actively take action, but they also believe that there's no destiny they are beholden to. The writer emphasizes that they need to keep moving forward, no matter how mundane the day may seem. In the end, the song is about finding hope in a dark world and how everything is better with cooperation and love.

これめちゃくちゃ好きやったー！！
kenがいないDA PUMPは寂しい…
@dlbahsgrim9953
3:21 からのKENのダンス、初めて見た時から釘付けだけど、緩急のつけ方エグいかっこいい…！
@user-zd5yg3pl1g
やっぱ4人とも仲良かったんだな
セルフプロデュースになってからの方がPVにちゃんと4人とも映る。
@pinoko999999999
ISSAとKENの歌唱力の高さがよくわかる曲。とても丁寧に歌っていて、きいていて、とても気持ち良いです。
@NRAK121
たまらん、、、。
大人カッコいいDA PUMP
聞けば聞くほど好きになるスルメ曲です。
@hougoku7560
沖縄旅行に行った時に、飛行機の中の大画面で初めて見て、かっこよ過ぎて泣きそうになったの覚えてる〜。今聞いてもやっぱり酔えるわ。この曲に出会えた瞬間の方がインパクト強すぎて旅行の思い出があんまりないw
@user-hs1xx8dx7d
3:05からの後半ダンス、KENのリズムの取り方がもの凄くカッコいい。DA PUMPらしを作っていたのはやはりKENなんだと思います。
@takakichi2020
この曲ってbebopcrew先輩をリスペクトして作った曲なんだよね！
誠ニさんのお悔やみ申し上げます！
DA PUMPのことを、初めてストリートの匂いがする歌手が出てきたって言ってたのがうれしかっです。
@user-cm4ic4ou5w
僕はこのダパンプの曲の中で、一番この曲が大好きです、歌も、曲も、振りが最高に好きです
@user-2horse9tail4
初のセルフプロデュース♫
初期のやんちゃなイメージから一転して急に大人っぽくムーディーな雰囲気に…
