Masterpieces and popular songs by flumpool

Let me introduce a song by flumpool, a four-piece rock band.

You may have had chances to hear their music, as some of their songs have been used as TV drama theme songs.

Speaking of flumpool, back in 2013, guitarist Kazuki Sakai paused his “visual” activities—anything where he could be seen—in order to focus on dieting.

Comedian Yusuke Inoue from the duo NON STYLE stepped in as a support member, which became quite a talking point.

Although Inoue is a comedian, he’s shown playing the guitar impressively in the music video for “Taisetsuna Mono wa Kimi Igai ni Miataranakute” (“I Can’t Find Anything Important Besides You”).

Inoue is known for his narcissistic character, but in this MV he looks undeniably cool.

Meanwhile, the band’s regular guitarist, Sakai, exceeded his weight-loss goals and successfully returned to the band.

Released in 2012 as their ninth single, it has been featured widely across the media, including as the July-ending theme for NTV’s “Sukkiri!!”.

Unusually for flumpool, it has an intense sound that grabs you from the intro and gives you goosebumps.

Released in 2016 as the 14th single, it was used as the theme song for the Ajin film and TV series.

The track employs a vocal effects processor to alter the voice, conveying a slightly dark atmosphere that aligns with the film’s storyline.

Released in 2010 as their third major single, it was chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Bloody Monday -Season 2-.” Until then, their title tracks had been energetic band songs, but this work is a challenge in the form of a ballad.

It’s a song notable for its clear, striking vocals.
