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]

もしも未来を夢見ずにいられたなら
こんな切ない気持ちにはならなかった

光を奪われるのが怖くて　すかさず目蓋を閉じた
その中で見付けた僅かな　キラメキに両手を伸ばす

掴んだはずの　掌の上　白い幻影(かげ)が溢れ出す

まだ見ぬ未来で　戦い続けてる　Oh Yeah Oh Yeah
君の姿が浮かぶ
その度僕らは　思い知らされるんだ　Oh Yeah Oh Yeah
まだなんも始まってない

この道の先で同じ様に　走り続けてる君へ
近づこうと君の足跡　踏みしめながら今日を行くよ

つまずきながら　派手にコケながら　新しい自分を見付け出す

まだ見ぬ未来で　戦い続けてる　Oh Yeah Oh Yeah
君の姿が浮かぶ
その度　僕らは　心揺さぶられるんだ　Oh Yeah Oh Yeah
まだなんも始まってない

ゆらゆら揺れる陽炎の様な未来(そら)　魂で描き出せ

もしも未来を夢見る事が出来たら
もう迷う事は無い君に会いに行こう

Dearest myself

まだ見ぬ未来で　戦い続けてる　Oh Yeah Oh Yeah
君の姿が見える
だから今僕ら　精一杯の情熱で　Oh Yeah Oh Yeah

今日へ立ち向かうのさ
華やいだ明日の為に…

Overall Meaning

The song "Dear" by Flow is a heartfelt ballad that expresses the sentiment of longing for a future that is yet to come. The singer sings about how if they had not dreamt about a future, they would not have felt the sorrow they feel now. This suggests that while dreaming of a future may bring hope and optimism, it also exposes one to the potential pain of unfulfilled dreams. The fear of losing hope is enough to make the singer close their eyes tightly, afraid to let the possibility of a better future slip away.

Despite this fear, the singer finds a glimmer of hope in the darkness. They reach out to touch it, but it slips through their fingers like a white phantom. The image of a future that is both tantalizing and elusive is further emphasized by the lines "still fighting in an unseen future" and "nothing has started yet." These phrases suggest that the struggle the singer is going through is ongoing, but that they will keep fighting in the hopes of making their dreams a reality.

The lyrics of "Dear" convey a deep sense of longing for something better, but also a determination to keep moving forward towards that future. It speaks to the human desire for hope and the need to maintain it, even when it seems out of reach.
