In 1996 summer, the story had began.We started by 4 guys.Then,the line-up were Ace-K(Gt.Vo.),Suzie(Ba.),Takeshi(Dr.)&Com(Pianica).The imagination style was sounds like the 2TONE& the 3rd Wave SKA.But,we couldn't be active enough by each one's working.....
In 1999 we were lined up on the same starting line.
We got the power to play gigs as well.Rollings got to be the big band by 9 guys.Ace-K(Vo.Gt.),Hanaken(Ba.Cho.),Amb(Dr.Cho.)Ivy(Key.Vo.),Atsuko(A-sax),Usako(T-sax),Ryo(Tp)&Scotch(Tp)
In 2000 Our first recording "Gone with the smell/SKANON" was released by own label "RCF records".The format was 7inches vinyl. The second recording "Action"offered to NOCO label(Fred/SKARFACE).You can listen on V.A./SKAMIKAZE.This year, we supported the BAD MANNERS& SKARFACE in Tokyo.And We offered 2 tunes to the PORKPIE RECORDS(V.A./United colors of SKA vol.3)& FILE RECORDS(V.A./Mo'down beat)
In 2001 we released first mini album "Can't stay rude without skank..." from Gem-tone records on March.We digested 50 gigs. Ryo& Scotch left from Rollings to make a new band. So, we were 6 guys.
In 2002 Maska(Tb)& Masaki(Staging man = Skanker) joined in us. We made new album " I got no reason" from same the Gem-tone records. We offered old one "Action" to the MAD BUTCHER RECORDS(V.A./SKANNIBAL PARTY vol.2)
In 2003 We had the first Europe tour on January.(England-Holland-Belgium-France-Italy-Germany)There were really great experiences to play with the Busters, L.Aitken, the Braces, Ngobo Ngobo, the Ruffians, SKA-GAL, OOT...
We digested 27 gigs in 32 days on this tour. These days are much experience for people who came from far east place Japan.Much beer, Much Pasta, etc : )
Japan ska festival called "2 TONE TIME " was produced by the ROLLINGS.1000 people came to the show on Nov.2003. It should be big SKA scene, we thought.
"I GOT NO REASON"[EURO Vir.] was re:release from Volume 11(Germany).And we had 2nd Europe-tour between 19th Dec, and 17th Jan, 2004.26 gigs in 30 days in Germany, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands and France we had.Throughing the year (2003-2004) was very exciting with fireworks!!

Bright Lights
Rollings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gone to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head
I'd tried to tell the woman
But she doesn't believe a word I said
Go light pretty baby
It's all right pretty baby
Gonna need my help some day
You're gonna wish you listened
To some of those things I said
Go ahead pretty baby
Oh, honey knock yourself out
Go ahead pretty baby
Oh honey knock yourself out
I still love you baby
Cause you don't know what it's all about
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Gone to my baby's head
The song "Bright Lights" by the Rolling Stones is about the seductive lure of the big city and how it can corrupt even the most innocent and well-meaning individuals. The singer of the song is trying to warn his lover that the bright lights of the city have gone to her head and that she is losing sight of the things that truly matter. He urges her to listen to his warnings and advice because, one day, she will need his help.
The lyrics capture the tension between the desire for excitement and the cost of pursuing it. The woman is mesmerized by the bright lights of the city, and the singer is worried that she will get lost in the glitz and glamour without realizing the dangers that lurk beneath the surface. The repetition of the phrase "gone to my baby's head" emphasizes the idea that the city has a powerful, intoxicating effect that can be difficult to resist.
The final verses of the song convey a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer tells his lover to go ahead and indulge in the city's pleasures and warns her that she will regret not listening to him. Despite their differences, he still loves her and cares for her well-being.
Overall, "Bright Lights" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of urban life, but it's also a love song that captures the complexity of relationships and the struggles that come with trying to protect and care for someone who doesn't always want to listen.
