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 ↴
ゆっくりそうただゆっくりと
孤独を乗せて進む
昨日振り返る事なく
上手くバランス取りながら
どうにかこうにかやってます今日も
時には壁にぶつかることもある
だけど登った時の喜びを
上り坂の途中で思わず涙にじむ
街中を柔らかく包む
夕焼けが堪らなく綺麗で
僕を抜き去る風に
バランス奪われたもう
どうにもこうにもならないココロ
時計仕掛けの自分の胸の中
つまらないプライドを外し
その隙間に理由をはめ込めば
扉は開くよ
時には壁にぶつかることもある
だけどまだ見れていない沢山の
景色がある限り何度でも
ペダルを漕いで永遠の坂道を
The lyrics to Flow's song Yuuhi No Sakamichi describe the journey of a person riding a bicycle up a hill that leads to tomorrow. With the wheels of the bicycle, the person slowly and steadily takes on the challenge of moving forward with the weight of their loneliness. The person doesn't look back at yesterday and instead focuses on balancing on the bike while climbing up the hill. They meet obstacles along the way, bumping into walls at times, but they remember the joy of reaching the top of the hill, and the wheels start turning again. Midway through the uphill climb, the person is overcome with emotion, and tears well up as they witness the beautiful twilight that envelopes the town. The wind that passes them steals their balance, and they feel their heart can no longer take it. The person then removes their insignificant pride, which is like a clockwork inside their heart, and replaces it with reasons to keep going. A door to eternity opens up, and the person realizes that as long as there are still many unexplored and unseen sceneries, they will keep pedaling up the everlasting hill.
The song, therefore, is about the journey of life, and how difficult it is to keep going when faced with obstacles. The lyrics acknowledge that sometimes one feels lonely and that life is an uphill battle. However, it also provides hope by reminding us to focus on the future and keep the wheel turning. The song conveys the message of finding purpose in life, enjoying the beauty of the present moment, and persisting even when we feel like giving up.
