History
An Cafe was formed in May 2003 by vocalist Miku, guitarist Bou and bassist Kanon. Miku's former band, Revirii, had disbanded two months earlier in April, and even though the band did not have a drummer at this point, they started to perform at several events. They were later joined by Teruki after he left his former band, Feathers-Blue.
In 2004, An Cafe released their first demos and signed a record deal with Loop Ash. Their first release, "Candyholic", was released in March and reached the second spot on the Oricon indies single chart. The band continued touring and releasing, including their first album, Shikisai Moment, in 2005. The band released even more singles in 2006 until their second studio album, Magnya Carta (a play on "Magna Carta").

Escapism
by: An CafeI knew somewhere in my heart that something like happiness wouldn't continue
But these feelings of liking you won't change Goodbyeee forever to the fun days-aiaiai
From today, I'm alone I have to live without your smiling face
Thinking about all about those sad things I've put a question mark on the meaning of living
ah I wanted to be with you forever so don't leave me behind
ah Forever Wasn't there from the begining, was it
ah I'm getting scared I'm walking the answerless road single-mindedly
ah I really loved you
When has it become so easy to cry I want to laugh I want to laugh Next to you
I can't laugh anymore Painful Sad I want to see you
If I remember it I embrace sadness Quietly Quietly I fall down
When I realize it, tears are spilling over I want to disappear I want to die I want to go crazy
Being entrapped everyday by the sweet temptations, drugs, and women I thought it doesn't matter
With some girl I don't know that I met at a club I picked my drug and had ectasy sex
ah I name my beloved pet that I have only for tonight
ah Slutty bunny Shaking your hips up and down just like I thought you would
ah Enchant me With your rhymical dancing
ah my baby Tonight was a perfect tone
Those days that the two of us followed our whims
Were contrarily not a lie I told myself
I keep fighting Between the loneliness and the solitude
The weakling ran away from the reason
When has it become so easy to cry I want to laugh I want to laugh Next to you
I can't laugh anymore Painful Sad I want to see you
If I remember it I embrace sadness Quietly Quietly I fall down
When I realize it, tears are spilling over I want to disappear I want to die I want to go crazy
You said some everyday words to me again Thank you Thank you I love you
At that place that we met By myself Only me Will fall
