A new album, globe2 pop/rock was released on August 10, 2005, in commemoration of their 10-year anniversary. Komuro also mentioned there will be some collaboration work with other artists with the artist title of globe feat. XX (where XX is the artist name), and globe extreme for collaboration with YOSHIKI.

The song "Anytime smokin' cigarette" by globe is about the experience of smoking cigarettes as a way of coping with life's challenges. The first verse talks about how smoking has become a treasured habit and how memories of past conversations with loved ones come to mind when smoking. The second verse talks about the singer's experience with smoking in public places, such as carrying their lighter and how smoking for an hour or so would calm and be all right. The chorus repeats the same phrases about not knowing the answer to one's goal, soul or roll and not wanting to be dictated by somebody else's rules.
The song highlights the singer's lack of direction in life and desire to break free from societal norms. The whispered background vocals add a sense of intimacy and vulnerability, as if the singer is confessing their innermost struggles. The repetition of phrases like "I don't want" and "I don't know" reveals a sense of confusion and frustration, while the last two lines about not really knowing what to do highlight the singer's helplessness.

３９歳 globeこの曲が一番好き
マークのラップに出会わなければ、マッシブアタックまで辿り着けなかった。
globeのライブも行きたかったなー サマソニよりフジロックで観てみたかった。
でも、声が飛ばない室内の方がやっぱいいのかな。
