[Discussion] FLOW

FLOW is a 5-members Japanese rock band.

It is in 1993 that 2 brothers, Kohshi and Take, begin to play together but it's only in 1998 that the group is really found.
In 2001, they release their first maxi single "Flow #0". The same year, they release 2 other mini-albums.
Okuru Kotoba, the first single of Flow is released in January 2003.
It remained on the Oricon indie chart for seven consecutive weeks and also hit an impressive #6 on the overall singles chart. In the spring of that year, their first full-scale album Splash!!! debuted at #2. In July 2003, Flow released the single "Blaster" on a major label, Ki/oon Records. In April 2004, they released "Go!!!", 3rd opening of the Naruto anime, which stayed on the Oricon Top 10 Chart for three weeks. In May 2004, Flow released their first major album "Game".

A string of singles followed and in July 2005 the band released its third album, Golden Coast. Since the release of Golden Coast, Flow has released two singles with new A-sides, but one of these ("Around the World/Kandata") was a double A-side release. "Colors" is the band's fourth single.

FLOW performed live in America for the first time in Dallas, Texas on September 2, 2006 at Anime Fest which was held at the Hyatt Hotel and Convention center in downtown Dallas
