The group's base was created in 1993 when brothers Kōshi (elder: vocals) and Take (younger: guitar) began playing together. They formed Flow in 1998, and were eventually joined by Keigo (vocals), Gotō (bass) and Iwasaki (drums; joined in 2000). In 2001, the band released its first maxi single, "Flow #0". The group then released two mini-albums within the same year, both of which took nationwide indie charts by storm. "Okuru Kotoba", Flow's first cover single, was released in January 2003. It remained on the Oricon indie chart for seven consecutive weeks and also hit an impressive No. 6 on the overall singles chart. In the spring of that year, their first full-scale album Splash!!! debuted at No. 2. In July 2003, Flow released the single "Blaster" on a major label, Ki/oon Records. In April 2004, they released "Go!!!", 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. The songs "Go!!!" and "Re:member" both served as opening themes to the anime series Naruto. "Days" was the first opening for Bones' Eureka Seven anime, and "Realize" was the opening for the PlayStation 2 video games based on the same series. 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. Flow performed "Colors" in 2006, the first opening for Sunrise's original series, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.
Their song "Answer" is the first opening theme for the live action Japanese drama Tantei Gakuen Q. They performed "Night Parade" with the hip-hop band Home Made Kazoku. In February 2008, they released a new single entitled "Arigatō", followed by Persona -trinity soul-'s new opening, "Word of the Voice" in June 2008. They performed Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2's second opening theme "World End" released in 2008. In 2009, the band performed "Sign", the sixth opening for Naruto Shippuden. The band released a B-side compilation album on November 4, 2009. Their single "Calling" was featured as the ending for the anime Heroman. Flow returned to North America to perform at Anime Central, in Rosemont, Illinois on May 20, 2011, and FanimeCon in San Jose, California on May 28, 2010 and in May 2011. Their song "Hey!!" was the third opening theme for the anime Beelzebub and the song "Bravelue" was used as the second opening theme for the anime Eureka Seven AO. They will provide a cover of "Cha-La Head-Cha-La" as the main theme song for the film Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods; the song, coupled with an insert song from the film, will be released as a double A-side single on March 20, 2013.[1]

Flow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
未来(あす)を知りたいと
どこまでも
過ちとか間違いとか繰り返して
人は空の青さに気づくの
Oh tell me
あとどれほどの命達を
犠牲にしたら争いは
レクイエムにもならないんだろう
この世界が変わるまでは
そんな思いが募るほど 眩しい青空
自分だってそうだよ
例えば 大切な人が誰かに殺されて
僕はそれをどんな風にして
許せるというのだろう
一人靴を鳴らし歩いてゆく
木漏れ日揺れる緑道を
穏やかなこの景色を抜けて
僕の名を呼ぶ声がするよ
目指す公園まであと少し
笑い声が響くたび 眩しい青空
The first two lines of the lyrics indicate a peaceful scene where white clouds are slowly drifting across the blue sky, while someone yearns to know about the future. The next few lines explain how human beings tend to repeat their mistakes, and eventually, they realize the vastness of the blue sky above them. The singer then requests to know how many more lives have to be sacrificed before the wars end? The lyrics also question if this world will ever change.
The next few lines express the singer's vulnerability, and they question themselves like everyone else. They wonder whether they would be able to forgive someone if a dear one of theirs was killed. The third paragraph describes the singer walking amidst the trees in a serene green pathway, where they hear somebody call their name. They are almost reaching their destination, a park, where people are laughing, and the bright blue sky shines over them.
In conclusion, the song is a tale of how people tend to ignore the bigger picture and repeat their faults until they step back and appreciate the beauty that surrounds them.
