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.

これはあなたに残した願い
桜のように 今はただ風に吹かれる
土から埃へ
重ねた日々を心において

愛することは 寂しくないよ

I know it's hard but it won't work unless you try

The song "Eden" by MONKEY MAJIK is a ballad about saying goodbye and moving forward. The first verse speaks about leaving someone behind and leaving a wish for them. It compares the fleeting nature of the sakura blossoms to the transience of life. The second verse speaks of the confusion and anxiety that come with facing a closed, heavy door. The impossible labyrinth that lies behind it is like facing an uncertain future. The chorus, with its uplifting melody, encourages the listener to wipe away their tears, not be afraid to love, and to keep moving forward. The final verse speaks of hope for the future, with the coming of spring and the knowledge that even though it may be difficult to love, it's worth it. The song concludes with a message of gratitude towards the person being left behind and a promise to always remember them.
Overall, the lyrics convey a message of hope in the face of uncertainty and loss. While it may be difficult to move forward and leave someone behind, it's important to keep pushing on and never give up on love. The use of sakura blossoms as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of life is a common theme in Japanese literature and art.

A friend asked me for a translation, so might as well share it here.
Disclaimer: This is mostly a transliteration and I'm no poet. Feel free to correct any mistakes.
Note: The parenthesis in the bottom is lyrics say "forever" while he sings "uneasy".
Goodbye, tomorrow will no longer return.
This is the the wish you left behind.
Like sakura, being blown in the wind,
The earth returns to dust.
The passing days pile up in my heart.
Even if you look different,
No matter what happens, don't cry anymore.
We will meet again someday.
So don't be afraid, wipe away those tears,
Loving isn't a lonesome thing.
So look ahead and walk like you always do.
This is what living for someone is like.
[It's never too late.
I know it's hard but it won't work unless you try.] [No matter]
Behind this hard, closed, heavy door,
My chaotic heart continues to deceive me.
There is no exit. Is this a labyrinth.
Everything is hazy. I can only rely on my memories.
I want to go find it.
My reason for being born.
I may become disheartened, but I won't give up.
I will try a little harder.
I can keep living just by seeing your smile;
It even taught me how to love.
So let me see your smile as I usually do.
This is what living for you is like.
[It's never too late.
I know it's hard but it won't work unless you try.] [No matter]
It's the time of snow melting, spring is soon coming.
No matter how cold it might be.
Spring will surely...
So don't be afraid, wipe away those tears,
Loving isn't a lonesome thing.
So look ahead and walk like you always do.
This is what living for someone is like.
I can keep living just by seeing your smile;
It even taught me how to love.
So let me see your smile as I usually do.
This is what living for you is like.
[It's never too late]
Thank you, the two of forever (uneasy).

English:
Goodbye, tomorrow won't come back
This is my wish I left with you
Like a cherry blossom, it sways in the wind
From dirt to dust
Leave the days we spend together in my heart
Even if I change my appearance
I won't cry no matter what happens
Because we'll see each other again somewhere
So I am not afraid, wipe up these tears
Loving doesn't make you feel lonely
So I look ahead and walk as usual
So that I can live for someone
It's never too late
I know it's hard but it won't work unless you try
The door has been shut tightly
But my heart starts feeling uneasy and confuses me
There's no exit, is this a labyrinth?
I use my faint memory as a clue
I am trying to search for the meaning
Why I was born
Even if I feel like giving up, maybe
I'll try a bit harder
I can live if I have your smile
You taught me how to love
So stay, be just the way you are
So I can live only for you
It's never too late
I know it's hard but it won't work unless you try
When this snow melts, spring will come
No matter how cold it is,
Spring will come again for sure
So I am not afraid, wipe up these tears

So that I can live for someone
I can live if I have your smile

やっぱりそうですよね！
私もそう思いました。
1番ゆきくんで、誰かの為に生きられますようには未来の真知ちゃんの為に生きられますようにで、
2番はきょうくんで、君だけの為には透だけの為に。
暗くなるBメロの所は呪いに縛られてもがく十二支のみんなの気持ちな気がして聞いていました。
原作読んで作ってくれみたいなのできっとそうなんでしょうねと思ってます。
ずっと好きなマンガで、ちゃんと原作に沿ったアニメ化されてすごく嬉しいです。
@user-jf8tb1yy4v
毎話終わる時にこの曲が流れて鳥肌立って、本当このアニメにぴったりの曲だとつくづく思いますね。

The anime is sad enough.
Then, they find this ending to end with the pieces of your heart.
@jadecavalcanti4907
It makes me want to cry, even if I'm feeling sad or happy
