The name "fripSide" comes from the word "flipside." It's a direct reference to when one had to flip records to side B. Since Flipside was already taken by a foreign artist, Sat coined the word "fripSide." The capital S comes from Satoshi's name.
fripSide had a very successful start on the indie community muzie. All three of their first albums topped their muzie's monthly shop ranking, and many of their songs had thousands of downloads. fripSide performed live for the first time for two shows in March 2005 and one in December 2005. In 2006, fripSide became a part of Japanese gaming company Visual Art's and started releasing under elseena-music entertainment. They released a few albums with Visual Art's and were featured in other non-fripSide releases such as the RADIO Twinkle☆Crusaders albums. fripSide NAO project!, fripSide's denpa subgroup, began during this time in April 2007. fripSide performed live once again December 25, 2007.
A new anime called Koihime†Musou began airing in the summer of 2008. fripSide performed the anime's theme song flower of bravery and released the song coupled with a new version of their 2004 hit sky called sky-version 2008- on the single flower of bravery. This release was fripSide's first major release and the first time they appeared on the Oricon charts, debuting at #26 on the weekly charts. Their fifth album split tears was a major release as well, debuting at #67 on the Oricon weekly. split tears had a software release as well that went on sale a day before the commercial version did. fripSide performed at many events this year for flower of bravery and did two shows in Osaka and Tokyo to promote split tears.
In March 2009, fripSide announced that long-time vocalist nao was leaving to pursue her own musical career. Left without a vocalist, producer Satoshi Yaginuma asked singer Rita to collaborate for the song spiral of despair-resurrection-. A huge compilation album titled nao complete anthology 2002-2009-my graduation- was released in July 2009; every album and song performed by nao was included on this ten disc compilation (with exception to the 2008 singles due to copyright issues). Very rare songs like colorless fate -erica 2007-(DEMO) and come to mind -short version- (also known as the piano version) made their way onto this monster album, as well as unreleased songs like my graduation, which has been waiting to make its public debut since 2003. This album marked the definitive end to the first phase of fripSide.
However, a few weeks after, the second phase of fripSide began. After 4 months without a vocalist and no activity, fripSide finally announced their new vocalist was none other than Yoshino Nanjo, a Japanese voice actress. fripSide was officially signed to Geneon Universal July 2009.
Currently, fripSide is involved with three theme song tie-ins for the anime To Aru Kagaku no Railgun. The first two singles, only my railgun and LEVEL5-judgelight- were big hits; both songs debuted in the top 10 of the Oricon weekly charts and are both still charting as of April 5, 2010. The fall 2010 single for the Railgun OVA, future gazer, debuted at #3 on the Oricon daily and included the theme song to the adult visual novel Fortissimo//Akkord:Bsusvier. fripSide also released a few songs on the side for new games by Lapis Lazuli and eufonie. On March 30, 2010, fripSide was featured on TV for the first time on TV Tokyo's Anisong Plus program, appearing as their pick-up artist of the week. On April 9, 2010, fripSide started their new radio program RADIO RONDOROBE-only my radio-gun which broadcasts every Friday at 9:30PM-10PM JST.
fripSide performed at Music Japan's popular special, MJ Presents Shinseiki Anisong SP 3, and performed at Animelo Summer Live 2010 -evolution- on August 28.
This boy-girl duo plans to release their first album under Geneon Universal on Dec 1, 2010.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
迷いながらも いま全てを強さに変える
(Now spread wings and fly away
You and I will decide where we want to land
I leave it to the faraway sky
The precious memories be the melody)
君のその瞳の先 何がいま見えているのだろう?
いくつも乗り越えてきた 時に君と手を携え
重ねた月日はそっと その答えを隠していたね
自分らしく生きると 誓った頃を思い出す
あの日描いていた夢は いつしかその形を変えて輝いていた
遥かな空と想いと君と僕は
新しい季節感じながら
流した涙もその理由も
迷いながらも いま強さに変えられたかな
(Now spread wings and fly away
You and I will decide where we want to land
I leave it to the faraway sky
The precious memories be the melody)
優しい春の日差しも 熱い夏のあの景色も
木の葉舞う秋の風も 冷たく白い冬の夜も
いくつも乗り越えてきた 時に君と背中合わせ
消せない傷跡だけは 今も痛み続けるけれど
信じ合う喜びは いつも言葉に出来なくて
あの日描いていた夢は いつしか現実と交差して輝いている
明けゆく空に想いを打ち明けたら
今鮮やかに彩られてく
心に秘めてるこの気持ちを
もう一度だけ 見つめてみようと思ってる
遥かな空と想いと君と僕は
新しい季節感じながら
流した涙もその理由も
迷いながらも いま強さに変えられたかな
明けゆく空に想いを打ち明けたら
今鮮やかに彩られてく
心に秘めてるこの気持ちを
もう一度だけ 見つめてみようと思ってる

You and I will decide where we want to land

In fripSide's song "Sky," the lyrics talk about the journey of two people who have faced many trials and tribulations but have come out stronger in the end. The opening lines "明けゆく空と想いと君と僕は" (Now spread wings and fly away, you and I) sets the tone of the song, with the two people leaving their past behind and looking towards the future. The lines "自分らしく生きると誓った頃を思い出す" (Remembering the time when we pledged to live life our way) indicate that the two individuals have made the conscious decision to live their lives as themselves and not let the world dictate their paths.
The lyrics also talk about the difficulty of expressing one's deepest emotions, as with the line "信じ合う喜びはいつも言葉に出来なくて" (The joy we share in believing in each other is something we can't express in words). However, the two individuals rely on each other to face the challenges that come their way, as they say "時間に追われながらも 二人三脚で走っていく" (While being chased by time, we run together with our feet intertwined).
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics talk about how the two individuals have grown and changed throughout their journey, but their feelings for each other remain constant. The lines "明けゆく空に想いを打ち明けたら 今鮮やかに彩られてく" (If we confess our feelings to the brightening sky, they will be vividly colored now) indicate that despite everything they've been through, their love for each other has only grown stronger.

いちみー
変わりゆく季節が今、迷いながら 景色を染めてく
この瞳に映ってる 君だけは私を見つめてた…
冷たいあの冬に 君と出逢い始まった
もう一歩踏み出せる勇気を捜していた日々
降り積もっていくね時と君への想いは
だけど言葉にすら出来ないままでいたよね
果てし無く広がるこの世界のどこかに
君の手の温もりを求めてる私がいる
「キミニアイタイカラ…」 この切ない願いは
巡る季節を越えて また冬を迎えた
変わりゆく雨は雪に 涙さえ凍りつかせて
だけど私の心は 温かいよ君がそばにいるから
変わらない想いだけは迷わずに重なり合ってく
この瞳に映ってる君だけは私を見つめてた
はりつめた空気が街を吹き流れていた
真っ白なそのなかに私ひとり残された
寂しさ訪れる そんな夜はいつだって
君の手の温もりの優しさを思い出すよ
君に会いたいから この切ない想いを
もう隠したりしない まっすぐに伝える!!
君と歩く街並みと吐く息は白く冷たく
だけど私の心は 温かいよ君がそばにいるから…
果てし無く広がるこの世界のどこかに
君の手の温もりを求めてる私がいる
「キミニアイタイカラ…」 この切ない願いは
巡る季節を越えて また冬を迎えた
変わりゆく雨は雪に 涙さえ凍りつかせて
だけど私の心は 温かいよ君がそばにいるから
変わらない想いだけは迷わずに重なり合ってく
この瞳に映ってる君だけは私を見つめてた
君と歩く街並みと吐く息は白く冷たく
だけど私の心は 温かいよ君がそばにいるから…
死の淵から復活し隊
どっちも好きだし
どっちにも良さはある
