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 ↴
無意識に問いかける 心の行方を・・・
突然の夕立に僕は 一人立ち尽くす
この雨によみがえる悲しみの蒼い記憶
傷付いた翼で 羽ばたくことを恐れた
痛みから逃げるほど 守るべきものは崩れてしまうから
走り出す僕は今、君に想い伝える
一瞬の永遠が 心に刻まれてゆく・・・
真実を知ることで 二人引き裂かれても
僕は強く羽ばたく 君のこの空を
真夜中の静寂が今日も僕に問いかける
灯しては消えてゆく 儚い命の意味を
傷付いた翼は夢見ることも忘れて
大切な人にさえ 本当の気持ち隠し続けていた
動き出す運命が 二人引き離しても
君の心に触れた この時を抱いて・・・
走り出す僕は今、君に想い伝える
一瞬の永遠が 心に刻まれてゆく
真実を知ることで 二人引き裂かれても
僕は強く羽ばたく 君のこの空を!
The lyrics to fripSide's song "reminiscence blue" reflect the regrets and emotions of a person who has unknowingly destroyed everything that was important to them. They are now left questioning the direction of their heart, uncertain of how to move forward. The sudden oncoming of rainfall only adds to their sorrow, bringing back painful memories that they had long thought were buried. Despite their wounded wings, the person is afraid to take flight and had even shied away from protecting those they cared about before, fearing that the act of doing so would only lead to further suffering. However, in the present, the person decides to run forward, determined to convey their feelings to the person they hold dear. They want to cherish this one moment of eternity that has been etched deeply into their heart, even if they have to face separation from their loved one due to facts of life.
The second verse shows how the person continues to be plagued by questions, with the midnight silence interrogating them. They find themselves grappling with the fleeting meaning of life, frustrated over how moments that once seemed so bright continue to flicker and fade away. Even with their wounded wings, they have lost the ability to dream, and they have continued to hide their true feelings from the very people they cherish the most, suggesting that fear of being hurt again presses upon them heavily. But even in the face of a destiny that seems intent on pulling them apart, the lyrics reveal that the person feels compelled to reach out and touch the heart of their beloved, determined to hold close the one moment that they shared with that special somebody.
Overall, the lyrics of "reminiscence blue" express a deep sense of loss and frustration in the face of destiny that is pulling people apart. The song is a lamentation of past regrets, but simultaneously it's a song that speaks of hope and determination in the present. It is about the courage to take flight and pursue even when the winds of fate are against us.
