Orange Range (オレンジレンジ, Orenji Renji?) is a 5-member Okinawan alternative rock band, based in Okinawa, Japan. Formed in 2001, the band began with Spice Music and later signed with Sony Music Japan's gr8! records division in 2003. The group left gr8! records in 2010 to start their own label, Super Echo.
The band has roots in Okinawa, an area famous for being the home of many well-known acts. Before they were signed by a major label, Orange Range played mostly in small art houses and clubs until they were found by a record agent. The band is mix of pop- and rock-style music as can be heard by the vocals and the instrumentals. Their style is also made up of many different cultures and musical styles from around the world. This is attributed to their hometown being Okinawa, a well-known station for American military bases and, thus, cultures and different styles often blend. Due to high sales of their works, Orange Range's singles are often attached to various movies, shows or Japanese products. This is usually seen as a sign of a band or singer having hit "the big time" in the Japanese media.
Todomaru koto no nai toki no nagare
Hikari kagayaku naka de kono mama de
Ookiku kuuki wo suikonde
Tsumoru omoi subete hakidashite
Mune no naka ni tashika ni aru kibou
Wasureta koto wa nai ichi nichi mo
Saki wa mienai ga tsuyoku ikiyou
Yuuhi ga shizumu mae ni ikou
Sun goes down...
Bokura wa mada kizukanaide ita yo
Taisetsu na mono wo mamori kiru imi wo
Kujikesou ni natte naita yoru mo
Asu ni nareba warai tobaseru darou
Kono kaze mo kono umi mo asu wa
Donna katachi wo shiteru no darou
Sora ga akaku somatte iku yo
Kyou ichi nichi ga mata sugite iku yo
