They disbanded in 2002 when it was announced that bassist Nakao was leaving the band, and the former members moved on to other projects - Mukai and Inazawa formed Zazen Boys. Tabuchi formed Toddle shortly after Number Girl's breakup and joined bloodthirsty butchers as an official member after being a guest guitarist for a number of shows throughout their Kouya Ni Okeru tour in early 2003. Nakao joined Spiral Chord after their original bassist left, and shortly after formed Sloth Love Chunks.
The band got back together in 2019 and release their first new song since their disbandment, "排水管" ("Drainpipe"). During this reunion period, Number Girl played a number of shows from 2019 to until their eventual second disbandment on December 11, 2022.
桜のダンス
NUMBER GIRL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
オレは見たことがない
普通に物事を見すえる力が欲しい
私は海を抱きしめていたい
桜のダンスをお前を見たか？
季節と季節の間に遊ぶ風の声を
貴様は聞いたか？
交差点でオレはいまいちだった
せまい中に入るのはよそうと思う
桜のダンスをお前を見たか？
季節と季節の間に遊ぶ風の声を
貴様は聞いたか？
The lyrics of NUMBER GIRL's song 桜のダンス present a speaker struggling to find beauty and meaning in their everyday life. The first verse describes the singer as never having seen a streetcar before, expressing a desire for the ability to perceive and appreciate normal things around them. The second verse shifts to the singer's desire to embrace the sea, a symbol of vastness and freedom. In the chorus, the singer questions if the person they are addressing has seen the dance of the cherry blossoms, a moment of beauty in the passing of seasons. The final verse finds the singer at a crossroads, feeling lost and wanting to avoid narrow spaces. The chorus repeats, with the singer once again questioning if the person they're speaking to has heard the voice of the wind between seasons.
The song seems to express a sense of disconnection from the world around the singer, who is searching for beauty and meaning in a life that feels mundane and confusing. The streetcar serves as a symbol of the everyday world passing the singer by, while the sea and cherry blossoms represent transcendent moments of beauty and freedom that the singer longs for. Ultimately, the song raises questions about how we can find meaning in our everyday lives and whether it's possible to truly connect with the natural world around us.
