In 1995, they released their debut album "JYURYOKU DOROBO" on the Benten Label.
That same year, the girls wrote and recorded a song for a Coca-Cola commercial.
The song became a big hit and was a radio favorite throughout Japan.
In 1999, the band moved to DELICIOUS LABEL, the new label run by rocker Yamanaka Sawao of The Pillows.
Noodles began to focus their efforts on recording and playing shows. Over the next couple years, the girls toured Japan six times, building a legion of loyal fans.
In March, 2003, they opened for their heroes, The Breeders, in Osaka.
Later that year, Noodles started to branch out overseas by performing at the CMJ Music Marathon.
They have since been back to the States for two US tours and have appeared at SXSW two years in a row.
Their most recent US tour, in spring 2005, was as the opening act on the very successful DELICIOUS BUMP TOUR with anime champions, The Pillows.
Now, Noodles returns to the US for the Electric Finish Tour with Seattle's The Stereo Future.
Even with the 2004 loss of their second guitarist, Junko, the girls show no sign of slowing down.
In fact, their songwriting has never been better and their fan base, both in Japan and in the States, just keeps on growing.
Noodles remain Japan's best all-girl rock ensemble.
Noodles wrote all music for the movie "Love my life", in cinemas in Japan from December 2006. http://www.lovemylife.jp

noodles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am turn like a 45. you never know.
throwaway, all the things you got.
you can do it. to my way, once more.
someone try
and shush me but
I cry out.
to think I'm \\"noodles\\".
then all my inside.
so fly to piece.
just like a electricity.
I can became air.
my watch is out of order now.
I am turn like a 45. you never know.
but would be nothing at all.
see the surprised look on your face. once more.
someone try
and shush me but
I cry out.
though everybody seem
to think I'm \\"noodles\\".
then all my inside.
so fly to piece.
just like a electricity.
I can became air.
then all my inside.
so fly to piece.
just like a electricity.
I can became air.
I will penetrate
away place you go.
how does it feel to be?
I can became air.
The song "45" by Noodles is a complex and intriguing piece of music that explores themes of identity, transformation, and invincibility. The lyrics seem to be spoken by someone who is in a state of flux, constantly changing and adapting to the world around them. The metaphor of a "45" is used to represent this idea of transformation, as a vinyl record can be turned over and played multiple times, just as the singer can shift and change over time.
The first verse seems to suggest a willingness to share real, personal experiences with others, but also a sense of unpredictability and impermanence. The phrase "throwaway, all the things you got" suggests that the singer is not attached to material possessions or societal expectations, and is instead focused on their own path. The repetition of "once more" at the end of the verse implies that this is not the first time the singer has gone through a transformation, and that they are constantly reinventing themselves.
The second and third verses speak to the idea of being misunderstood or underestimated by others. The repetition of "someone try and shush me but I cry out" suggests that the singer is not willing to be silenced or ignored, even if others try to diminish or dismiss them. The line "though everybody seem to think I'm 'noodles'" implies that the singer is not defined by any one label or identity, and may be more complex than others realize.
Overall, "45" is a thought-provoking and enigmatic song that invites the listener to consider their own identity and the way they navigate the world.

...this band is so good..it is beyond ridiculous that they are virtually unknown in the states..at the moment I can't take any music publication here in the U.S. or music critic seriously..talk about dropping the ball..on this band for starters and all the other exciting music coming out of Japan
FONEternal
They are definitely one of the best indie bands to come out of Japan. They just announced a show here in Atlanta next month. Finally seeing them after all these years
