In 1997 they hooked up again in Tokyo, and brought into their musical circle the Japanese-Colombian female singer Lisa, who attended Seisen International School, St. Mary's sister school. Lisa had already begun working in music, including serving as vocalist for the group Ram Jam World. The group released their first song Been So Long as a 12-inch single on an indie label, and were soon picked up by the Avex-affiliated Rhythm Zone label. From Avex they released a string of hit singles, and then their debut album Planet Shining, which went to #6 on the Oricon album chart. The group followed this success up with the re-mix album The Replacement Percussionists and a sold-out tour. The group also toured in Korea, where they were well received.
Their wide ranging popularity led to a number of side projects and collaborations, including Taku working on music by major stars like 宇多田ヒカル, Crystal Kay, 坂本龍一 and 松任谷由実, and Verbal working with the Korean superstar female idol group S.E.S. One S.E.S. member, Shoo, was actually born in Yokohama and speaks Japanese, which helped allow the group to attain some level of popularity in Japan in addition to their mega-success in Korea. Verbal has also worked with the pop duos Heartsdales and Halcali, and up and coming foreign idol Christina Milian. In 2001 the group released Expo Expo, and again released a remix album and toured.
In 2002 Lisa released the self-produced single Move On. The song it seems was an announcement of sorts, as soon after she announced that she was leaving m-flo to concentrate on a solo career, allegedly under acrimonious circumstances. After Lisa's departure m-flo have continued on as a duo, often recording with other artists. They developed a concept of sorts, the “m-flo loves **** ” series, with a guest artist’s name filling in the blank, such as “m-flo loves Akiko Wada”. In May 2004 they released the CD Astromantic and followed it with a related DVD. Astromantic was an album full of collaborations, including cuts with such major artists as BoA, 日之内エミ, Chemistry, Double, Kenji Furuya (of Dragon Ash), Ken Yokoyama (of Crazy Ken Band), and 野宮真貴 (of Pizzicato Five), and eventually released a remix album, Astromantic Charm School, where other composers and mixers would remix the songs from Astromantic. Two years later, m-flo released the album Beat Space Nine, which featured such artists as Yoshika, Emyli, Diggy Mo of SOUL'd OUT, Akiko Wada, and even a song with Lisa. A remix album, Dope Space nine was released much like Charm School.
Recently, an m-flo Inside WORKS BEST II has been released, bringing together some of their best tracks, and remixing them. As one can see, the group has done much, but will be going even further.
Since going solo Lisa has released Juicy Music in April 2003, Gratitude in June 2004, and an album of cover versions, mostly American 1980’s hits like Prince, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, called Melody Circus in April 2005.
March 30th 2007, m-flo releases their new album Cosmicolor which all the songs are collaborations(except the interludes), this time with artist such as melody., 安室奈美恵, DOPING PANDA, Bonnie Pink, Chara, or MINMI. A remix album featuring the songs from Cosmicolor was released(as expected) on September 26, 2007. With the end of the "loves" series m-flo's fans eagerly await their next move.
Verbal from m-flo has his own blog here: http://ameblo.jp/m-flo-verbal/page-1.html He usually writes almost every day.

The other day I passed by him!
The other day I passed by him and smelled his cologne. It brought back memories of him and I. When I turned around, I realized that he was the one who broke my heart and left me feeling heartbroken. I wonder if it was meant to be.
I'm gonna go my way tonight
Tonight, I'm going to move on and go my own way. I cannot accept his excuses and do not want to hear them; therefore, I need to say goodbye and move on. I'll forget about him and leave him behind.
Get-te-te-out! Get-te-te-out!
It's time for him to get out and leave for good. He's not good enough for me, and I'm done with him. I need him to go and never look back.
I'm like no other!
I'm unique and like no other. I'm not lying; it's the truth. I'm a sneaky lover who gets high with a little slyness. I want to ride with you and travel to a different world together - Hollywood. But beware; I'm careless, and I can take you everywhere.

Just let it be!
I don't want to look back or listen to any lies. I've made up my mind and moved on. It's all in the past, so let it be. I need to accept my feelings and move on with life.
Hey boy, what's up?
Hey boy, what's up? How are you doing? We've got many secrets, and I want to know what's happening. We want to make you say Ho and take up some space. Baby, say Ow, and let's move on with life. That's what I, he, she, we, and they like to do.
Still, don't hit the lights!
Don't turn off the lights yet, there's still more to come. You don't know what you're missing, so stay tuned. It's time for me to go, but my heart still aches. Oh, Mr. DJ, please rewind and play it again.

Captured by his flo' and glow.
Stole my heart and soul.
Now he's up and gone.
He don't feel me like before.
And he left me alone.
On this cold dance floor.
Baby why's that so?
If that's how it's gonna be...
Just what I thought the English version could be.

2023年も聴いてる。いつも最高。
@Firefox_Higitsune
2003年にリリースされた曲だけど、2013年どころか2023年に「Hey YO！皆さん本邦初公開！」とリリースしてもイケると思う。ラップの部分は2033に変えておけばOK。それくらい色褪せない、先進性を感じる曲だよ。2033年にこの曲を聴いたとき、多分また同じことを思うんだろうね。
@takayukiishii8034
全く同じようなコメントをしようとしたら先駆者様がいらっしゃいました！笑
ほんとに、2013どころかって感じですよね！

m-floは革命起こしてたよなー未来人かと疑うくらい音の使い方が斬新だった。
@koshibaa
宇宙感とか未来感すごいよね！
@chestner424
この曲の冒頭のLIVE部分で
「2013年Style」と言っているが
実際のLIVEは2003年にやってる。
10年先の未来感なんだねぇ。
