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.

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.

on Rage Your Dream
The lyrics to m.o.v.e's song Rage your dream talk about a person's desire to escape the dullness of reality and to follow their dreams. The city is described as being made of imitation and simulations, which makes the singer feel numb and without any impressions. The lyrics then transition to the singer's desire to feel real and to live their dream fully. They want to feel the wind, taste the vibration, and rage their dream. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing the idea of feeling alive and never forgetting to chase after one's dreams, even in the face of obstacles.
The second verse of the song talks about how others may try to bring the singer down by telling them to toughen up and not stop, but ultimately, the singer believes in the power of their dream and will continue to streak it. They are willing to face sacrifice and cry to reach their peak and sweep the winding street. The song then continues to emphasize the importance of chasing one's dream and never giving up, even when the world is breaking around them. They will continue to rage their dream, even in the face of darkness and through frozen nights.
Overall, the lyrics of the song have a message of hope and perseverance. It encourages listeners to never give up on their dreams, no matter how difficult the road ahead may be.
