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.

SUMMER LIONflumpool

This song, packed with the feeling of “let’s enjoy summer to the fullest!”, was released in July 2024.

Written as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo drama Hidamari ga Kikoeru, it’s marked by flumpool’s signature refreshing sound and powerful vocals.

Centered on the theme of “liberating oneself,” the lyrics are uplifting and give you the courage to take one step—or even two—forward.

Among flumpool’s tracks, it especially evokes a youthful vibe, making it recommended not only for music lovers in their 20s but also for those who don’t usually listen to rock.
