There are many theories behind the meaning of the "V" in V6. It is said that it stands for Victory, but members have mentioned on TV programmes that it also means Volleyball (As their debut single was used in the World Cup Volleyball Tournament in 1995), Versus (20th Century versus Coming Century), Vegetable (as Sakamoto's parents own a green grocers), Vicycle (obviously means Bicycle - Nagano's parents own a Cycling store) and Veteran (as Inohara was told). It also could stand for Volume, which derives from their album that they made.
V6 celebrated their 10th year anniversary in 2005. They commemorated the event by holding about 30 concerts in sold-out arenas all over Japan, holding 3 major "Thank You Events", releasing a hit movie "Hold Up Down" and releasing a new album "Musicmind". They also had a rare "Handshake Session" with hundreds of thousands of fans in Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka.
V6 announced on March 12, 2021, that they will disband on November 1, 2021, their 26th anniversary since debut.

Oh oh
Timeless 色あせることのない あの日語った夢
思えば僕は 言い訳ばかり並べて ただ逃げてた
明日がくるとは思えなくて 互いに背を向けた日
ずっと描いてゆくだろう
「一人じゃないんだ」と
青臭いことは言わないけれど
I'm always with you
We're always with you
Long time 長い道のりを ずっと走り続けてきた
色んな思いそれぞれ抱えながらも前だけを見て
言葉に出したら薄っぺらいけど 愛がここにあるんだ
終わらない夢を描いて
ずっと走り続けるよ
「一人じゃないんだ」と
今は君の声 聞こえているよ
傷つけあうこともあった
でも許しあえないことなんてないはずだと
肩を並べ 歩く日々が 教えてくれた
終わらない かけがえのない Oh
この胸に掲げた 絆が僕らを 強くするから
終わらない夢を僕らは
ずっと描いてゆくだろう
「一人じゃないんだ」と
青臭いことは言わないけれど
I'm always with you
We're always with you
