(1) Supercar (スーパーカー) was a Japanese rock band active from 1995 to 2005, and who made their debut in 1997. Consisting of songwriter and vocalist Kōji Nakamura (中村弘二), guitarist Junji Ishiwatari (石渡淳治), bassist Miki Furukawa (フルカワミキ), and drummer Kōdai Tazawa (田沢公大), Supercar is best known for combining alternative rock with electronic music. Internationally, Supercar is best known for providing much of the soundtrack for the Japanese film Ping Pong, as well as being featured in the anime series Eureka Seven.
Part of SUPERCAR's aesthetic success stems from their "ordinary country-grown" roots in the Aomori Prefecture, far north from the constant clamor of Tokyo. It was here that the youthful band first took shape. In 1995, bassist Miki Furukawa placed an advertisement in a local magazine seeking fellow musicians. Junji Ishiwatari responded and convinced childhood friend Kōji Nakamura to join as well. Junji and Kōji soon recruited drummer Kōdai Tazawa, an acquaintance from middle school. After writing songs and recording demo tapes, they received a record contract. In 1997 they released their debut album, Three Out Change, and their second album, Jump Up, in 1999. This album was followed by Ooyeah and Ookeah, both also released in 1999. With the 2000 album Futurama, electronic experimentation took a larger role that would characterize the band's sound for the rest of their career. The 2002 release Highvision continued the electronic development, and the single Strobolights did not even contain a guitar. They released their last album, Answer in 2004. Perhaps their most experimental album, Answer contained balance of both rock and electronica.
In 2005, they announced their plans to break up. They held one last concert, and released a DVD of it titled Last Live. All album names and song titles are in English. The lyrics, mostly written by Ishiwatari, alternate between English and Japanese.

何を見てるの?
不安な目をしたまま
どこへいったの?
どうして泣くの?
夢はかなえるものよ。
ねえ、こんな日は
一緒に空をながめていよう。
きっと涙しか見えないよ。
夢で見たドライヴみたいに今日は
お姫様気取って むじゃきなままで
悩んでなんかないわよね。
長い夜に飽きただけでしょ?
忘れたわけじゃないのよね。
ちょっぴり夢に疲れただけでしょ?
どこへいったの?
どうして泣くの?
手に入れたはずなのに。
何がみえるの?
何が見えても
後戻りしちゃだめよ。
ねえ、こんな日は
一緒に空をながめていよう。
ねえ、そんな目じゃぁ
きっと涙しか見えないよ。
いつの日か あなたは強い心で
本当の笑顔を みつけるはずよ。

The singer asks what they are doing and what they are looking at, noticing their anxious expression and questioning where they have gone and why they are crying. However, they reassure the person that dreams can come true and suggest that they should spend days like this together, looking at the sky. They express that with such a worried look, the person can only see tears, emphasizing the need for a more positive perspective.
The lyrics continue to reassure the person that they haven't forgotten something important, despite feeling a bit tired from dreaming. The singer questions where they have gone and why they are crying, pointing out that they should have obtained something they wanted. Whatever they see or encounter, the singer urges them not to go back. They reiterate the idea of spending the day like a drive they dreamed of, pretending to be a princess, carefree and without worries. They emphasize that the person shouldn't worry, that maybe they are just tired of the long night and not actually suffering.
In the final part of the song, the lyrics express the belief that one day, the person will find a true smile with a strong heart.

スーパーカーの中でなんだかんだ1番すきだし、１番聞いてる
@ss12227802
2000年前後くらいに「新世代ロック御三家」みたいなくくりでスーパーカー・ナンバガ・くるりの3バンドがよく特集されてたけど、ビジュアル面ではスーパーカーが1番華あるから、初期からPVがそれなりに金かけられてるなあ。
@kyounokuma
I've been listening to Supercar since 2001. Funny thing that I just realized about this video. I had always wondered where this video was shot. This is the first time I have watched this video in 15-20 years. I moved to Honolulu several years ago, and now I know. To make things even more interesting, I moved to Japan about 5 months ago with my Japanese wife. It's incredible how a person's understanding and life can change given enough time.

i'm so excited for Supercar's OFFICIAL YouTube Channel
I've been waiting 25 years over due!
