In 1996, after the break up of t-kimura's previous project Favorite Blue, he formed the band move and, by 1997, they released their first single ROCK IT DOWN. They however truly achieved fame when their followup single, around the world, was used as the opening theme for the anime Initial D (頭文字D). In 2005, the group changed their name by adding abbreviation marks between letters and are were still signed with the avex tune recording label.
On December 2, 2008, t-kimura stated on m.o.v.e’s official web site that he would focus more on production, and less on performing. On April 10, 2009, m.o.v.e performed with DJ T-Tashiro during an anime convention, Kamikazecon II, in Houston, Texas; the group anounced that t-kimura would no longer perform on-stage.
In November 2009, it was anounced that yuri was pregnant and would be getting married, thus taking a hiatus from the band for onstage performances. While m.o.v.e recorded two new albums in 2010, Dream Again and anim.o.v.e 02, the band didn't show any other activity (though motsu made guest appearances in many shows, lives and musical collaborations) until yuri went back on stage on October 2010.
m.o.v.e is perhaps best known for the unique style with which they blend rock, rap, electronica, metal and many other genres into their music. m.o.v.e are also well-known for their many contributions as opening and ending themes to the Initial D (頭文字D) series. These include around the world, Rage your dream, BREAK IN2 THE NITE, Blazin' Beat, Gamble Rumble, DOGFIGHT and Noizy Tribe.

On December 7 2012, the band announced that, after 15 years, they would break up. A last Best of album called "Best Moves ~and moves goes on~", scheduled to be released on Feb. 17 2013, and a last show in March 2013 are left behind as a goodbye to the fans.

ため息だけその名前を
何度も呼んだ冬の peak
夢の中でうまく声が
出せない不思議の夜
二人だけの時間
二人だけのゆるい楽園
ハラリハラリ雪に
ANGELEYES 真冬の ANGEL EYES
抱きしめるほどせつない
ANGELEYES
Howmany lies in your eyes
白く光る吐息は憂い
ふかく潤んだ瞳
交ざりあうほど遠くに
もう明日などいらないから
キミの今がここにすぐ欲しい
忘却の風景はたしかそう
いつかみた映画と同じだろう
いつのまにか眠り堕ちていた
凍えそうな月が照らす窓
Howmanylies in your eyes
ねえどうして想いは
ちゃんと伝わんない
星座のかがやき僅かの気配のこして
降りだした snow
つめたい肩白い背中
やさしい天使まなざし
伏せ目がちで通りすぎた
冬のナミダ模様
孤独は罪じゃない
罪なのはピュアすぎる Love
サラリサラリ言葉
ちりばめても隠せずに Oh
ANGELEYES 真冬の ANGEL EYES
愛しあうほど儚い
ANGELEYES
Howmany lies in your eyes
短すぎるこの夜すべて
甘い香りに胸が
しめつけられる快感
もっとキミで埋め尽くしたい

Howmanylies in your tears
Your angel eyes
The lyrics of m.o.v.e's song Angel Eyes revolve around the complicated emotions of two people who are spending a winter night together. The opening line, "How many lies in your angel eyes?" sets the tone for the rest of the song, hinting at the sense of distrust that exists between the two characters. They are in a moment of intimacy, but the coldness in their gazes suggests that they are holding back, possibly hiding something from each other.
Throughout the song, the lyrics express a sense of yearning and regret. The winter setting creates a melancholic atmosphere, and the snowy landscape adds to the feeling of isolation that the characters experience. They have a moment of intense connection, but it's fleeting, and they are unable to fully express their feelings to each other. The line "How many lies in your tears" suggests that they are both hiding their true emotions, creating a sense of ambiguity and tension that is reflected in the song's haunting melody.
Overall, Angel Eyes is a beautifully crafted song that conveys a sense of longing and unspoken emotions. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who are struggling to connect, despite the deep emotions that they feel for each other.
