The band's first big hit was the single Around The World, the theme song of the TV drama Saiyuuki-Journey to the West. In 2007 they worked on a number of collaborations with other J-pop artists, including hip-hop duo m-flo ("Picture Perfect"), SEAMO ("卒業、そして未来へ。") and the 吉田兄弟 ("Change").
The album 空はまるで (Sora wa Maru de), was released July 25, 2007. 空はまるで is MONKEY MAJIK's fourth original full-length album. The first press of the album includes two bonus tracks from the MONKEY MAJIK × MONKEY MAGIC single. The song 空はまるで was used as the Yokohama Type image song and became the first song in Japanese History to reach #1 on USEN Request Chart before being released.
On September 2008, they released another album, TIME and the album opened its first week at #2 on the Oricon Chart. They also made a collaboration with 土屋アンナ for the song GINGER that was featured in her album, NUDY SHOW! and was used for the Asahi Ginger Draft commercial song.
In 2009 they released two singles: アイシテル and 虹色の魚 / Open Happiness / MONSTER. Early 2010 they released the single SAKURA and a new compilation titled MONKEY MAJIK BEST ～10Years & Forever～ containing songs from thank you to the newest single. The compilation also contains a song titled Fast Forward which was used as the opening theme for the anime Nurarihyon no Mago.
Later 2010, they announced the 6th album and a brand new single. The new single titled ぬらりひょんの孫 オープニングテーマ EP contains the tracks Sunshine and Fast Forward, both used as opening themes for Nurarihyon no Mago and the single was released November 24, 2010. The album, titled westview was released in February 2, 2011. They released a compilation album titled RARE TRACKS in March 2, 2011, containing b-sides from singles and random songs used to movies and animes.
The band took a break after the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, and in October 26 they released their 15th single: Headlight, followed by the 16th single in early 2012, HERO. In March 7 the band released their 7th original album: Somewhere Out There.

MONKEY MAJIK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always a naive point of view that breaks us in the end
If I could find the meaning of it all I'd take the chance
Maybe in time, we'll walk the mile and change it if we can
It's now and always
How did we get this far, did we get this far now
Always, we're making a brand new start, just a brand new start now
Always, wave goodbye to me
Around the world 新しいことに
Around the world フミダスチカラで
Around the world 世界は変わるさ
But don't run away 'cause if it's not ok
I'll change that world into something better, honey
果てしなく広がるこの大地を
僕らはまた歩き続けるさ
全ての意味が分かるのならば
この瞳で何を見つめるのだろう
It's now and always
How did we get this far, did we get this far now
Always, we're making a brand new start, just a brand new start now
Always, nothing will hold me down, never hold me down now
Always, wave goodbye to me
Around the world 君だけのために
Around the world 探し続けるよ
Around the world 奇跡のかけらを
But don't run away 'cause if it's not ok, yeah
And you know it's gonna be raining
And you know it's gonna be hard
As long as we trust each other
Nothing gonna break apart oh no, no
If ya wanna be somebody
Get up on ya feet and go
I know were gonna meet each other
Somewhere all around the globe
Around the world いつでも自分に
Around the world 負けている人は
Around the world 何も掴めない
But don't run away 'cause if it's not ok
But don't run away 'cause if it's not ok
I'll change that world into something better, honey

As long as we have faith in one another.

Every night I look to the skies
(毎夜、僕は空を見上げて)
And wonder what we did

僕はその全ての意味を見つけ続けたい)
Maybe in time We’ll walk the mile
and change it if we can
(できればその道を通って
この世界を変えてみせるさ)
