(1998 – present)
There are at least 4 bands named FLOW:
1: one of the bands attracting the most attention in today’s Japanese music scene, a five-piece rock act made up of two MCs, a drummer, a bassist and a guitarist.
The group can trace their activities back to 1993 when brothers Kōshi Asakawa (elder, vocals.) and Takeshi Asakawa (younger, guitar.) began playing together. They formed FLOW in 1998, and were eventually joined by Keigo Hayashi (vocals), Yasutarō Gotō (bass) and Hiroshi Iwasaki (drums) who joined in 2000.
In 2001, they released their 1st maxi single”FLOW #0”, playing various energetic live-shows around Japan. Consequentially, they appeared on the Indie Chart. A big moment for the band came when they opened at “Tug Of Rock’n Roll”, an outdoor festival held in Okinawa in August 2002. FLOW’s creative instrumentation, and the dynamic of the two vocalists singing alternately and then together made them an instant audience favorite. Their limited-edition single quickly sold out, and the success continued as they released two mini-albums within the same year, both of which took nationwide indie charts by storm.
“Okuru Kotoba”, their first cover single, sold over 270,000 copies when released in January 2003. It reigned atop 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!!!” that compiled re-recorded songs from their indie era and new songs, was released by Ki/oon Records, debuting at #2.

Wow I was starting to lose interest in FLOW since I haven't gotten into Nuts Bang as much as their previous releases. I just watched the new PV for Sign and it really is an amazing song. I was kind of confused when I saw people talking about it over a month ago though. Then I saw, oh, its tie in is an anime; Naruto. If you here only because of the anime tie ins; I would recommend you listen to some of their other music like Snow Flake, Stay Gold, Rookie, Ryuusei, and Dream Express. FLOW ftw
