FLOW is a japanese band of 5 members: Koshi (vocal), Keigo (vocal), Take (guitar), Got's (bass) and Iwasaki (drums).

The group can trace their activities back to 1993 when brothers Kohshi (elder) and Take (younger) began playing together. They formed FLOW in 1998, and were eventually joined by Keigo (vocal) and Got's (bass). In 2000 Iwasaki joined completing the current band.

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. A string of smash singles and a 2nd album followed. Their single "WORLD END" debuts on top #3 of Oricon Ranking the day of it release. Several of the band’s songs have also been used in conjunction with anime series, including the track "GO!!!" which was chosen as opening theme song for "NARUTO", "DAYS" which was featured in "Eureka Seven", "Re:member" as opening theme for "NARUTO" too and two songs: "COLORS" and " WORLD END" as CODE GEASS series openings.
