They are the first all male vocal group to graduate from Okinawa's Actor School which also trained superstars, Namie Amuro, SPEED, and MAX. Debuting on the avex tune sublabel of the indies giant avex trax, DA PUMP was the first "boyband" to successfully penetrate the market monopolized by Johnny's Entertainment.

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.

I'm fall in Love into
sparkle your eyes
I'm fall in Love into
sparkle your eyes
言葉より信じるもの
触れるより感じるもの
鏡より映すもの欲のないもの
君の Eyes で合図で始まる恋は

たぶんナイーヴで弱くて
壊れそうだよ
But now... 吸い込まれそうな
sparkle your eyes
もう十分すぎる好きの Reason
shy な君に会い
愛する意味合い知る
So now... I'm fall in Love into
sparkle your eyes
Please, tell me, tell me how
much you love me? maybe...
涙溢れる時の子犬を抱いた時の
氷のような時の僕見る時の
君の Eyes を愛すよ
寄り添う時も
なんか不安があるのは幸せかな
So Honey 君の目にその口に
既に吸い込まれてんだってまじに
変だって友達に言われてもだって
君見るたび高鳴ってるんだって
24/7 騒がしい街で
いまだ見たことのない君に出会って
Sparkle Your Eyes,
She is Tight, So Tight.
二度とない愛大事にしたい
But now... 吸い込まれそうな
sparkle your eyes
もう十分すぎる好きの Reason
shy な君に会い
愛する意味合い知る
So now... I'm fall in Love into
sparkle your eyes
Please, tell me, tell me how
much you love me? maybe...
好きすぎることとか
サヨナラの不安が
まだいまだある僕でも
きっと君の大事な人なんだとか
今さら思うから
この先も愛し合える
But now... 吸い込まれそうな
sparkle your eyes
もう十分すぎる好きの Reason
shy な君に会い
愛する意味合い知る
So now... I'm fall in Love into
sparkle your eyes

Please, tell me, tell me how
much you love me? maybe...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DA PUMP's song "Sparkle" talk about falling in love with the sparkle in someone's eyes. The first two lines repeat the phrase "I'm fall in love into sparkle your eyes," emphasizing the impact the person's eyes have on the singer's feelings. The lyrics also mention how actions and feelings speak louder than words, and how the subtle signals conveyed through eye contact are what start their love story. The lyrics express a sense of naivety and vulnerability in the budding romance, as it feels fragile and might break easily. However, the singer can't help but be drawn towards the sparkle in the other person's eyes and is already deeply in love with them.

The song is about the power of nonverbal communication and how the small gestures and looks between two people can lead to a connection. The lyrics are honest and raw, showcasing the singer's uncertainty and the risks they take to pursue the person they love. The chorus is incredibly catchy and emphasizes the importance of the other person's eyes and how they can shine and capture the singer's heart.
