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.

The lyrics of "Soul Love" by GLAY is about new beginnings and the excitement that comes with them. The first line, "Atarashii hibi no hajimari," means "the beginning of new days." The singer is describing how they feel blown by the spring wind, as they look forward to the start of something new. The following lines describe how the singer is alone but continues to dream of the future.
The second verse talks about how sudden meetings can change a person's destiny. The singer feels a premonition of a new adventure that they will share with someone. They question if the other person can hear their heartbeat, which is a common feeling when we meet someone that we are attracted to or have a connection with. The chorus is about dreaming of meeting someone in the future.
The third verse talks about how the singer reminisces on the past, specifically how they lived their life and worked hard, but when they met someone, they felt the moment was precious enough to stop and take it all in. The bridge seems to encapsulate the emotion the singer is feeling as they anticipate a major change in their life, and they are trying to contain their excitement. The last part of the song is about looking out at the rain and seeing summer on the other side and dreaming of meeting the person they've been thinking of.

新しい日々の始まり 春の風に吹かれていた
俺はずいぶんとこうして 夢の続きを独りで見ていた
そんなある日の午後に…
軽い出逢いは突然 運命めいたものになる
前から知っている様な これから全てを供にするような
予感を感じていた
言葉は今必要さをなくしてる
高なるこの鼓動が聴こえてるか?
ふいに心を奪った瞬間の あのトキメキよりも眩しい程に
いつか出逢う 夢の中 心のままに
待ちこがれていた あなたをこうして Wow…
眠れぬ夜の過ごし方を カラ回る仕事の息ぬきを
人間関係(ひとづきあい)のなんたるかを 生きてゆく術を
あなたは こんな俺に 示してくれた Baby you Wow…
誰かの声に耳をふさいでた
ほおづえついた日々のドアを開けた
あの日心が触れ合う喜びに 生まれてくる愛にとまどいながら
動き出した2つの影は Wow… 夕映えに長く
さんざめく気持ち おさえきれずにいる hu…
通り過ぎる雨の向こうに夏を見てる
ふいに心を奪った瞬間の あのトキメキよりも眩しい程に
いつか出逢う 夢の中 Wow… 心のままに
待ちこがれていた あなたをこうして
