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.

Never Change My Heart
"Zutto Futari De" by GLAY is a heartfelt Japanese love song that speaks of cherished memories and the joys of being in love. The song begins with the line "Oh Tiny Memory hashaida yorumo imawa zawameki wo wasure" which roughly translates to "Oh tiny memory, the excitement is now forgotten." This line is followed by a reflection on childhood memories that are tenderly remembered. The singer wishes for their lover to always be by their side and constantly give them a smile.
The second verse suggests that the couple has moved from their birthplace and the singer remembers the times they were together before their move. The memory of holding back tears while gazing upon a loved one's face is painted vividly. The song then moves into the chorus, which encapsulates the message of the song. It talks about the never-ending love that they share, and that they would never want to be separated from each other. The bridge speaks of the joys of being in love and how the shared experiences make them happy.
The lyrics of "Zutto Futari De" are relatable to anyone who has ever been in love. The song beautifully captures the essence of holding close to cherished memories with a loved one. It is a reminder to never stop cherishing the memories, and to keep the love alive. It embodies the sweetness of being in love and the contentment of spending one's life with the person they love the most.

Oh Tiny Memory
はしゃいだ夜も今はザワメキを忘れ
幼い日々の面影 そっと甦る
いつでも側にいて 笑顔をくれないか
静かな愛の中 心からそう思うよ
ねぇ あの夜の泣き顔の理由
聞ける筈なんてない
こみあげる涙に素顔の夢を映してた
生まれた街を出て 寄り添う2人の事
言葉は時として 傷つけてしまうけれど
2人抱きしめた恋を
離せずに永遠の祈りを
あの日あなたに出逢わなければ
愛しさも知らないままに
Oh You're My Everything
ただ一度だけあなたに話した夢に
何一つ そう何一つ嘘などないから
二度とは戻れない 激しい恋をしたね
悲しい笑顔の日には 細い手を握りしめた
“2人にどうぞおだやかな愛を…"
2人抱きしめた恋を
離せずに永遠の祈りを
あの日あなたに出逢わなければ
愛しさも知らないままに
切なさも恋しさも何もかも
分け合いながら夜を越えて
ずっと2人で生きてゆこう 幸せになれる様に
