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.
mini grammer
NUMBER GIRL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
おれは 一枚 シャツをぬいだ
くりかえされる同じ話 何度も笑って うなづいて
誰かの大げさな笑いと 一緒に吐き出した
ケムリの満ちる部屋
借りもんの言葉をほえる俺は まるで 大統領だった！！！
暁のカイダンを 一気にあいつはかけおりて
俺は笑いながら手を振って
太陽のまぶしさに終わりを感じ
俺は 目をとじる
夢の中に入り込んで 俺はここにいた
さすらってた くすぶってた
同じところ何度も ぐるぐると 回り続けていた
通り過ぎる ミニグラマー達は
そんなおれを 笑っていた
The lyrics to NUMBER GIRL's song "mini grammer" describe a night of drinking and hanging out with friends, where the singer takes off his shirt and laughs at the same old stories being told. Along with someone else's exaggerated laughter, he too bursts out laughing and lets out smoke in the gradually filling room. He feels powerful and presidential as he shouts out borrowed words.
Suddenly, his friend runs off, stumbling and disappearing, and the singer waves him off, feeling the end of the night coming with the bright sunrise. He closes his eyes and enters a dream, realizing he had been wandering and going in circles, passing by many mini grammar books (small notebooks used for exercises). He then notices that these mini grammars were laughing at him.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of carefree, wild nights with friends, and the feeling of being lost in one's own thoughts and actions. The use of mini grammar books as a metaphor for the ever-repeating patterns of our lives adds an interesting layer to the song's meaning.
