(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.

淡い願いの恋は叶ってたんだった。
永い誓いの愛に構えてたんだった。

Overall Meaning

The song "My Girl" by Supercar is about a man who reflects on his past experiences with love and how they have shaped his current outlook on relationships. He talks about how his youthful dreams of finding a deep, everlasting love have been fulfilled, but also how he has come to realize that love is not always what he thought it would be. He is content with his current relationship, where he can simply sing songs of love and be with his girl.

The lyrics of the song evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for simpler times, as the man reminisces about his past and how he used to believe that love was the most important thing in the world. However, he has since come to understand that love is not always easy and that there are challenges and obstacles that come along with it. Despite this, he is still committed to his partner and is content with the love that they share.

Overall, "My Girl" is a heartfelt and introspective song about love and relationships, and it speaks to the universal experiences that we all have when it comes to matters of the heart.
