GLAY started in 1988, when they were in high school, with TAKURO as the guitarist, TERU as the drummer and a bassist who quit when they decided to head to Tokyo. They needed a vocalist, so TERU made a tape of his singing to give to TAKURO and was immediately recruited for the part. On the search for another guitarist, HISASHI was asked to join but turned down the offer, as he was already part of a locally well-known heavy punk/rock band called 蟻 (Ari), which better suited his taste in music. When Ari disbanded, HISASHI accepted TAKURO's offer and became the lead guitarist of GLAY. By the time of TAKURO and TERU's graduation, GLAY had become more popular in their hometown of Hakodate and were playing in full live houses. Following HISASHI's high school graduation in 1990, the three of them moved to Tokyo to try and further expand their musical career. However things did not seem to improve for them in Tokyo. Their gigs only attracted a few people, and sometimes none at all.
During this time, members (particularly drummers) were constantly joining and leaving the band. When their bassist quit, Takuro had heard that JIRO, who was also from Hakodate and had played with the indie band ピエロ (Pierrot) (different from the now disbanded Japanese rock band PIERROT, that enjoyed mainstream popularity), had moved to Tokyo and invited him to join GLAY. He, too, declined the offer, insisting that he was already heading in the right direction for himself. It wasn't until TAKURO asked him to play at just one show to fill in for their missing bassist that he decided to go. Following that show, JIRO continued to receive invitations to play with GLAY, and in 1991 he had become GLAY's official bass player, finalizing the official four member lineup
Takuro was heavily influenced by his favourite band, The Beatles, and took a great interest in composing original songs and lyrics. The band name "GLAY" is a deliberate misspelling of the word "gray", which represents the style of music they wanted to play; a mixture between rock (black) and pop (white). Although GLAY primarily composes songs in the rock genre, they have also composed songs in styles ranging from reggae to gospel. Due to their musical diversity, beautiful lyrics and wonderful melodies, they have become one of the most successful and well known bands in Japan, and most of Asia.

寂しがり屋の朝 ひどいめまいの kiss でお目覚め
特別な愛と勘違い 真夜中に tel で確かめる
留守電に kick! 皮肉なメカニズム
Wow バイブル×彼女の過激
Wow モダンな×彼女の刺激
Wow バイブル×彼女の過激
ロマンスは些細な始まり いつもの気紛れが災い?
見慣れない夜に絡み合う指はさり気ない mistake
遊び疲れたマネキンに 意地悪な嘘で駆け引きを
気まずいムードに ネガティブな捨て台詞
Wow バイブル×彼女の過激

君はドレスに裸足のままで
奇跡の海を華麗に泳ぐから 抱き寄せた

内緒の eyes パントマイムで joke
誘惑に弱い君だから 愛を殴って夢を蹴る
快楽もいいけど 何が残るの? Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow

The lyrics of GLAY's song Kanojo No "Modern..." describe a tumultuous and often confusing romantic relationship. The song opens with the singer seemingly ignoring the plans they had made for the day in favor of staying in bed with their lover, who is prone to feeling lonely and waking up with dizzying kisses. The singer describes their lover as having a misunderstanding of what true love is, often calling them in the middle of the night to confirm their affections. However, their attempts are met with a voicemail box that leaves them feeling bitter and contemptuous.
Throughout the song, we see the ups and downs of the relationship, with small misunderstandings causing tension and jealousy. The singer describes their lover's touch as an unintentional mistake, and they seem to have a habit of playing games and telling little white lies that only serve to cause more confusion. Despite these problems, the singer describes their lover as being able to swim the sea of miracles with grace, although they also suggest that they are easily swayed by temptation and prone to kicking love and dreams aside.
Overall, Kanojo No "Modern..." is a reflection on the complexities of romance, with both the joys and struggles of being in a relationship highlighted throughout the lyrics.

@uthuihl9115
2021年現在、一番売れていないシングル曲(2万枚)。このCDが売れない時代でもGLAYは毎年3万以上売れ続けてるという事実。そしてこのこの一番売れなかった曲がファンの間では人気があるというのがまた魅力的。
@takshun_ted3064
これが94年のシングルなんて信じられないw
2020年も聴いてる色褪せない名曲
@pompom7102
当時売れなかったとは思えないくらい歌詞が天才的なんよなぁ
@ni-san
80年代後半～90年代はとんでもない数のアーティストが存在しては消えた。その中でも生き残ってるGLAYは本当に凄い。
