There is more than one artist under this name:

1. Move were an Italian cold wave band of the 80s. Their first self-titled LP, Move, was released by A&D in 1986. Just a year later, the same label released their second and last record, a split 12'' with Gronge.

2. move (currently known as m.o.v.e) is a 3-member Japanese musical group. The group consists of yuri (益田祐里, Masuda Yuri, vocalist), motsu (瀬川素公, Segawa Mototaka, rapper) and t-kimura (木村貴志, Kimura Takashi, producer).
In 1996, after the break up of t-kimura's previous project Favorite Blue, he formed the band move and, by 1997, they released their first single ROCK IT DOWN. They however truly achieved fame when their followup single, around the world, was used as the opening theme for the anime Initial D (頭文字D). In 2005, the group changed their name by adding abbreviation marks between letters and are currently still signed with the avex tune recording label.
On December 2, 2008, t-kimura stated on m.o.v.e’s official web site that he would focus more on production, and less on performing. On April 10, 2009, m.o.v.e performed with DJ T-Tashiro during an anime convention, Kamikazecon II, in Houston, Texas; the group anounced that t-kimura would no longer perform on-stage.
In November 2009, it was anounced that yuri was pregnant and would be getting married, thus taking a hiatus from the band for onstage performances. While m.o.v.e recorded two new albums in 2010, Dream Again and anim.o.v.e 02, the band didn't show any other activity (though motsu made guest appearances in many shows, lives and musical collaborations) until yuri went back on stage on October 2010.
move is perhaps best known for the unique style with which they blend rock, rap, electronica, metal and many other genres into their music. move are also well-known for their many contributions as opening and ending theme to the Initial D (頭文字D) series. These include around the world, Rage your dream, BREAK IN2 THE NITE, Blazin' Beat, Gamble Rumble, DOGFIGHT and Noizy Tribe. The also provided the opening theme for the anime series Ikkitousen (一騎当千) with their song Drivin' Through the Night as well as the ending theme for the anime Final Fantasy Unlimited, Romancing Train, and the ending credits for KOEI's Dynasty Warriors 2 (真・三國無双, Shin Sangokumusou), Can't Quit This!!!! ～KNOCK'EM OUT～ (SH FUNK MIX).

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Time Machine by Move idealize a dreamy world where people can travel back in time and experience the lively and exuberant culture of the 1980s. The song provokes a strong feeling of nostalgia and reflection on the past, with the author reflecting on everything from the music they used to listen to in the past to the way their life used to be. Throughout the song, the author invites the listener to escape from their lonely and dull present by joining in on an endless party that unfolds on a nostalgic sound-beat.

The song portrays an energetic and upbeat mood, with calls to dance in a funky town in the company of others, perhaps hinting at the universality of the collective desire to escape the disappointing reality of the present, instead of indulging in the bright and optimistic times of the past. The author suggests that the reason we seek escapism in the past is that during that time, we didn't need anything to feel alive, such as a purpose or a goal, but merely the music and the joyful atmosphere.

In summary, Time Machine by Move expresses the yearning for a simpler and hedonistic lifestyle that characterized the 80s.
