Forming in 1997, the members were only 15 when the band was formed. They were signed to a major label in 1999, and their major debut single, "Hanasaku Inochi Aru Kagiri", was a moderate success, reaching number 25 on the Oricon charts. They were known for their impressive style, which had an aggressive, progressive tone, with angelic melodies by frontman Yuki. By the summer of 2000, they were at their career peak, and their albums were selling pretty well for such a young band. However, on Halloween 2000, the guitarist and main songwriter of the band, Kazuki, died at the young age of 19. Soon after that, the band decided it was time to split. The vocalist (Yuki) and the drummer (Kazuhiro) formed Rice later that year, while the bassist (Yukito) embarked on a solo project. The band was resurrected for a short time in 2012 with all remaining members to celebrate Kazuki's 13th memorial.

Confidencias
Raphael Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dime,
De los hombres que te amaron,
De los que te enamoraron
Y te hicieron despertar
Dime,
Sin que apenas me lo digas,
Cosas tuyas que no olvidas,
Confidencias que al instante volarán

Dime,
De los hombres que te amaron
Si hay alguno idealizado
O fueron juegos que la brisa se llevó
Dime,
Si me cuentas aventuras
O imaginacioes tuyas,
Argumentos de películas de amor

Y aunque te decía
Que era lógico y normal,
Ahora que hablas y me cuentas
No lo puedo soportar
Cariño, dime
De verdad o de mentira
Que soy el único en tu vida,
Que empezaste tu andadura
Con mi amor y esta locura
Y que no hubo nadie más

Dime,
Sin que apenas me lo digas,
Cosas tuyas que no olvidas,
Confidencias que mañana volarán

Dime
De los hombres que te amaron
Si hay alguno idealizado
O fueron juegos que la brisa se llevó
Dime
Si me cuentas aventuras
O imaginaciones tuyas,
Argumentos de películas de amor

Y aunque te decía
Que era propio y natural,
Ahora que hablas y me cuentas
No lo puedo soportar
Cariño, dime
De verdad o de mentira
Que soy el único en tu vida,
Que empezaste tu andadura
Con mi amor y esta locura
Y que no hubo nadie más

Y aunque te decía
Que era lógico y normal,
Ahora que hablas y me cuentas
No lo puedo soportar
Cariño, dime
De verdad o de mentira
Que soy el único en tu vida,
Que empezaste tu andadura

Con mi amor y esta locura
Y que no hubo nadie más

Overall Meaning

In Raphael's song "Confidencias," the singer asks his lover to tell him about the men who have loved her in the past, asking for confidences that might fly away as soon as they are shared. He asks if any of those men were idealized, and if any were just fleeting moments that were carried away with the breeze. He wants to know if she had any adventures or imagined scenarios that were like the plot of a romantic film. Despite telling her that it was natural to have a past, he struggles to hear about it and wants to know if he is the only one in her life, if she began her journey with him and her love, and if there was no one else.

The song explores the tension between the past and present in a relationship. While the singer acknowledges the naturalness of having a history and past experiences, he struggles to hear about them and wants reassurance that he is the only one in his lover's life. The theme is relatable to many as it highlights the challenge of reconciling someone's previous experiences with one's own feelings of jealousy, insecurity, and possessiveness. The lyrics are poignant, and the power of Raphael's voice conveys the depth of his emotions, making the song a classic in the Spanish-language canon.
