2) Fren… Read Full Bio ↴There are three artists known as WAT.
1) Japanese pop duo
2) French electro rock band
3) Dutch punk band
1) WaT stands for Eiji Wentz (ウエンツ瑛士) and Koike Teppei (小池徹平). They met each other in 2002 and formed WaT, playing street lives with their guitars. Their debut single "Boku no Kimochi" came out in 2005. Wentz, who is half German-American and half Japanese, is also known as an entertainer and comedian. Koike is also known as an actor and can play the harmonica. "Boku no Kimochi" reached the second place on Oricon chart. They released 8 singles, one album an a best album. They were invited to Kouhaku with only two singles under their discography in 2005. In June 2007, Koike Teppei released his solo album, "pieces".
Their next single "時を越えて ～Fantastic World～" will be released on 2008.04.23.
2) After two noticeable Ep’s in 2008, WAT is coming back with a new one “UU80” on french parisian label, Place Blanche Records and another on Motivo "Try Before Buy". Taking into consideration those last releases it's even harder to classify their music... If we had to risk it we would have to say : a kind of positivelectrorocknewwavediscotecawithahiphoptwist...to be short. More pragmatically, WAT is a big smile on your face, a big punch on your head. In live, the band offers us a set with electro-rock, hip hop twist and incisive melodies. Keyboards, guitar, drum kits, vocals, they inspire a rock power and a stage energy to their electronic univers. Their first album "Wonder", is planned for 2010 on Boxon Records.
3) WAT is also a small time punk band hailing from the Netherlands, who as of 2010 have released their first album, omeD.

WAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
街に 明かり 灯る 季節
でも君と またここで逢えるのは
必然かもしれないね
駆け上がる 歩道橋足音に
白く 滲む 息を 重ね
思い出は 色褪せることもなく
駅まで続く長い坂道も
ビルの屋上見下ろす街も
公園の隅揺れるブランコも
あの頃と同じだね
どれだけの思い出を並べるより
またこうして君と過ごせれば
止まった時も動き出すさ
これから生きる時間の話しをしよう
一瞬(ひととき)を 積み重ね
時代は創られてゆくから
ありふれた 十二月のざわめき
飾る 街に 冷えた 空が
少しだけ 不安に思えるのは
何か変わるってこと
今まで言ったアリガトウの数
今まで言ったゴメンネの数
ささやかな夢も苦い現実も
季節を満たしてゆく
街角に鳴り響くクラクション誰かの声
交差点人波追い越せば
広がる視界 過ぎゆく世界
これから生きる時間の話しをしよう
一瞬(ひととき)を 積み重ね
時代は創られてゆくから
どれだけの思い出を並べるより
またこうして君と過ごせれば
止まった時も動き出すさ
これから生きる時間の話しをしよう
一瞬(ひととき)を 積み重ね
時代は創られてゆくから
The lyrics to WAT's song "reStart" are about the value of spending time with a loved one and the inevitability of change. The first verse talks about the chance encounters that bring people together and the magic of the city during the holiday season. The singer acknowledges that the possibility of meeting their loved one again in that same spot may be fate. The second verse paints the picture of the city at night and the memories that remain unchanged despite the passage of time. The chorus emphasizes the importance of being present in the moment and treasuring the time spent with one another, rather than dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. The final verse acknowledges the fleeting nature of life and the importance of making the most of every moment by dreaming and living fully.
The song touches on themes such as love, loss, time, and the value of relationships. It captures the complex emotions that come with the end of the year and the transition into a new one, while providing a message of hope for the future.
