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.

It will surely feel just right.

It’s a classic filled with warm cheers for those leaving their hometowns and taking a new step, a beautiful song that naturally stirs a positive mindset.

Released on the December 2009 album “What’s flumpool!?”, it was also used as the opening theme for “Minna no Koshien.” Created as an answer song to their debut track “Hana ni Nare,” this piece has comforted many as an anthem of support for the season of departures.

As spring arrives—whether you’re starting a new chapter in life or striving toward new goals—it will give you a strong push forward.

It's okayflumpool

A song by the Japanese four-piece rock band flumpool, released digitally in December 2020.

The vocalist, Ryuta Yamamura, is known for an exceptionally clear voice rich in high overtones, making it an ideal piece for male singers with higher ranges.

However, his singing isn’t just about hitting high notes—he delivers stable, powerful high parts—so it definitely requires solid vocal technique to perform well.

If you sing with the sensation of placing the voice toward the upper palate, it will likely sound very good.

Give it a try! Musically, it’s a mid-tempo track with a straightforward melody, so once you develop proper vocal production, it should be very singable.

flumpool is a rock band from Osaka.

They debuted in 2008 with “Hana ni Nare.” Many people probably remember the striking image from the au music service “LISMO,” which the song was tied in with.

Their fresh, soaring sound also carries a certain warmth.

Their hit song “Kimi ni Todoke,” the theme for the film of the same name, remains beloved as both a cheer song and a love song.

In recent years, they’ve overcome various challenges, and it’s exciting to see flumpool moving forward with a stronger core as a band.

Their indie-era classic “Hoshi ni Negai wo” is also a wonderful track—be sure to give it a listen.

This is a beautiful ballad by the four-member rock band flumpool.

The lyrics pack in an entire chapter of a relationship, from the beginning to the end between a man and a woman.

The song can be enjoyed not only as a long-distance love song but also as a standard love song.

Its storytelling is excellent, and it carries a positive message looking toward what lies beyond love—the future.

It was also used as the TV commercial song for Sky PerfecTV’s 2015 J.League.

Under the summer sun, players chase the ball with all their might, dripping with sweat—this song fits that scene perfectly.

The gentle lyrics seem to cheer you on, saying, “Believe in yourself and give it your all!” and the melody, firmly along the royal road of Japanese pop, is superb.

It’s a song I want to hear at a big festival, working up a good sweat.

Be sure to check out the music video too—it’s full of highlights, including the members getting splashed with paint in their image colors!

This song was the theme for a drama.

The sound of the acoustic guitar is nicely complemented by the bass, and that tone is very soothing.

The hopeful lyrics help you calm down and think about what lies ahead.
