J-Pop Group FLOW to Perform at Anime Central and FanimeCon
FLOW's West Coast punk sound defines numerous anime shows, including international favorites Naruto and Eureka Seven. While catchy melodies leave plenty of hooks in listeners' heads, the band's empowering lyrics perfectly complement anime messages of moving forward and seizing moments.
FLOW's new album, FLOW ANIME BEST, collects ten of their best songs and more, creating a denser experience than plain “Best of” albums. The tunes are familiar not just as chart-topping hits, but also for the power and emotion of their television tie-ins. The album releases May 10, 2011.
