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.

fripSide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
地平線が 輝いていく
この瞬間も 君の笑顔も
永遠に抱きしめたい
出逢った頃は まだ
未来なんて見えてなくて
笑顔 涙 すべて 必死に集めたけど
君が歩むのなら その肩に寄り添いたい
そんな風に想う あたたかさ
舞い降りたあの日 忘れないから
たとえば時が 今止まっても
何度 夢を繰り返しても
守りたいもの ただひとつだけ
2つの鼓動重ねて 永遠は続いていく
瞳に映る夢
君が君でいられること
強さ 弱さなんて 誰にも決められない
壁が阻むのなら この想い 翼にして
広い空の果てに 羽ばたこう
舞い降りた夢も 力に変えて
どんな夜でも 傍にいるから
星を数え 永久を願おう
運命よりも 確かな現実が
いつでもここにあるから 永遠が続いていく
伝えきれないこの愛しさは
いつだって言葉には出来ない
だから感じ合える 心を照らす「絆」
忘れないから
君と出逢って 君を理解って
君の優しさに触れたから
光あふれる 眩い日々を
僕は ずっと忘れない
たとえば時が 今止まっても
何度 夢を繰り返しても
守りたいもの ただひとつだけ
2つの鼓動重ねて
どんな夜でも 傍にいるから
星を数え 永久を願おう
運命よりも 確かな現実が
いつでもここにあるから
信じられるよ どんな時でも
守りたいもの ただひとつだけ
永遠は続いていく
The first two lines of the song, "The dawn wind weaves the light / The horizon begins to shine", create a striking image of the break of dawn, with the wind creating a tapestry of light that illuminates the horizon. These lines set the tone for the rest of the song, which is about the desire to hold onto precious moments and the people who make those moments special, even as time marches forward. The chorus, "Even if time were to stop now / Even if we were to repeat this dream countless times / There is only one thing I want to protect / Our two heartbeats overlaid, everlasting", reinforces this theme of wanting to hold onto what is important, regardless of the passage of time.
The second verse, "If you're the one walking, I want to stand by your side / That's the warmth I feel / I won't forget the day you descended", speaks to the idea of wanting to support someone as they journey through life, and the enduring impact someone can have upon first meeting. The third verse, "If walls block our way, I'll turn these feelings into wings / Let's fly to the ends of the wide sky / Turn the dream that descended into power", encourages perseverance in the face of challenges, and the transformation of dreams into action.
Overall, the lyrics of "everlasting" express the desire for the present moment to last forever, and the determination to preserve what is important, even in the face of adversity. Fripside's vocals, combined with the upbeat instrumentation and synth-heavy backing track, make for a soaring and inspirational anthem of hope and perseverance.
