DAYSFLOW

FLOW 『DAYS』(Music Video Short Ver.)
DAYSFLOW

A single released in 2005.

It was the opening theme for the anime Eureka Seven.

A five-piece band formed in 1998.

The rhythm of the drums and bass feels mismatched against the violin tone in the intro, yet it fits perfectly and works great.

The melody has a mellow vibe, and the back-and-forth between the twin vocals is also excellent.

PMAKEMURI

Included on the 1998 album “77 Days.” A seven-member group formed in 1995.

The title is an abbreviation of a phrase they hold as their credo.

The guitar’s fast, exhilarating ska beat and the horns playing in the background are truly easy on the ears!

When you feel like you’re about to lose heart, listening to this song will surely give you courage.
