The year of 2005 had a few interesting lives for FLOPPY, including a secret live in March. However, it wasn’t until September that the band was able to release their next single, FLOPPY no suteki, a live-only release, and which also ended up being sold out. The end of the year was a huge event for the unit as they had their first one-man live on December 24 and simultaneously sold a new single with handmade covers.
The release of their next mini-album, Sine Wave Orchestra, was a very exciting time, as along with the mini-album came a few in-store events and lives. The mini-album was first released on their May 20, 2006 live and it was then later officially released on May 31. Next they were on a cover album, The Very Best Covers of Uchouten, covering the song Pinocchio which was originally by the 80’s progressive indie band Uchouten.
For the next year, there was not much band activity for FLOPPY except for a live almost every other month. In February of 2007, Sharaku modeled in the “Gothic and Lolita Bible 24.” He represented FLOPPY wearing a theme that he called near future cyber boy. A few months later, the band released a rare in-store maxi-single titled low-bit disco, which quickly sold out and was followed by their first one-man tour Mach Midi Rider. The duo also started to branch out in 2008 by doing video game music. They did two songs for the game “IDOLM@STER” and a song for the XBOX360 shooter game “otomedius G.”
2009 is looking busy for the duo as they started off the year with a long one-man live called TOKYO GAMESOUND SHOW at the end of January. In the spring, they released a new single called everything which was, yet again, sold only at their April 18th live but was later available for download as a digital single. In October, they released their first full album Deus ex machine. The album included their first pv for their single everything. Not slowing down, the duo is ready to release their next full-length album, PROTOSCIENCE on March 17th, 2010.
Recently, FLOPPY has announced a lot of their music will be more readily available to overseas fans through JapanFiles.com, an overseas Japanese music download site. With FLOPPY’s music becoming more accessible, their future is looking hopeful.

FLOPPY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
怖がらずに飛ばしてごらん 信じて 恋は紙飛行機
「今年、出逢う人こそ運命の人。恋は慎重に。」と
確か去年も同じ占い
見飽きた野暮なアドバイス 鼻で笑いながら気にしてる
ときめきの風が吹いたら その気持ち 折り畳んで
どんな恋愛の解読書も お手上げな程 無理で笑えぬ状況
君はもっと過酷なエピソード
並べて僕をなぐさめる 友よ 今日は飲もうか おごるよ!
幸せが歩いて来ても うつむいていちゃすれ違う
笑顔という花の香り 忘れぬ空に春は来るから
Ah 重ねすぎた気持ち 重たすぎては風に乗れぬ
And I love you so...
大丈夫 立ち直れない程泣いた あの日の事も
いつしか忘れられたから また似た様な恋に落ちてる
ときめきの風が吹いたら その気持ち 折り畳んで
怖がらずに飛ばしてごらん 信じて 恋は紙飛行機
あなたの胸に 届け 紙飛行機
The song 紙飛行機 by Floppy talks about the uncertainty and excitement of falling in love. The lyrics suggest that love is like a paper airplane, which can be folded up and released, but there is no guarantee where it will end up. When the wind of excitement blows, the singer tells the listener to fold up their feelings and fly them without fear. The song implies that love is a journey, and even if we make mistakes, there is always a chance to try again.
The lyrics also touch upon the topic of advice from others regarding love. The singer describes common advice as "boring" and implies that one should follow their own instincts when it comes to affairs of the heart. The lyrics suggest that every individual has a unique story, and no handbook can provide answers to the complicated matters of love.
Overall, the song 紙飛行機 encourages the listener to take risks in love, trust their instincts, and enjoy the journey, even if it doesn't always end in a happy landing.
