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.

Freeze My Love
GLAY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
不思議なほど冷めた別れも
眠りがくれた夢は想い出を包む
壊れるほど心抱きしめて
Freeze my love
「愛を凍らせて2度と目覚めない様に」と
Freeze my love
古いベッドに濡れた身体投げ出して
疲れはてた2人を浮かべた
「確かなものは何も無い」と気づいた時
君がひどく愛しい 彷徨う無力な言葉達
Freeze my love
「愛を凍らせて2度と目覚めない様に」と
Freeze my love
過ぎてゆく季節を 独り止められずに立ち尽くす
別れの夜に咲いた華よ
永遠に閉じ込めてよ my love 美しいままで
Freeze my love
「愛を凍らせて2度と目覚めない様に」と
Freeze my love
「今も胸に残る愛 記憶を眠らせて」
Freeze my love
「愛を凍らせて2度と目覚めない様に」と
Freeze my love
過ぎてゆく季節を 独り止められずに立ち尽くす
Wow, freeze my love
錆びたナイフ胸に刺して 今は遠い君を想うよ
Oh, freeze my love forever
同じ月が照らしている 君と僕の違う人生
Oh, freeze my love forever
The lyrics of GLAY's song "Freeze My Love" express the powerful emotions of a painful separation from a loved one. The first verse describes the feeling of losing the warmth of the person's touch, and the paradoxical experience of feeling coldness in the midst of a heated breakup. The second verse paints a picture of two exhausted lovers, lying in a worn-out bed, realizing that they have nothing certain in their lives except for their love for each other. The chorus repeats the plea to "freeze my love" and lock it away forever, as memories and seasons pass by.
The song's bridge features an arresting image of a flower blooming on the night of the lovers' separation, and the singer's desire to preserve its beauty forever. The final verses echo the desperation and the eternal longing of the singer, who stabs themselves with a rusty knife as they think of their loved one, and wonders how they will each live different lives without each other. The song ends with the haunting refrain of "freeze my love forever," suggesting that the singer's heart will never be free from the pain of the loss.
Overall, GLAY's "Freeze My Love" is a poignant exploration of the complex emotions of heartbreak and the desire to hold onto a love that has slipped away. The lyrics and the melody create a mood of melancholic yearning, and the repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the intensity of the singer's plea to "freeze" their love.

GLAY世代だけど、唯一原曲キーで歌える曲。
超絶良い曲😄
@zoosumb84
TAKUROさんの転調作曲の代表的な曲だよな。
そしてGLAYにしてはキー的に非常に優しく歌いやすい曲。
ツインのギターソロのお手本のような曲
@sayukareha
GLAYの中では90年代のV系のエッセンスを色濃く残してる希有な曲。
これが好きな人はtwo bell silenceとか月に祈るとかも好きそう。
