flow-war

Artist

flow-war is a Japanese rock band. Their style layers introspective, questioning male vocals over a sturdy band sound, and their lyrics have explored themes of identity and one's sense of distance from society. In anime, they handled 'ID', the ending theme of the TV anime 'Saiyuki Reload'. A mid-tempo rock track with lyrics by Shinpei Oyuzaki, music by Shotaro Mitsuzono and arrangement by Minoru Toyoda, it is known as one of the band's signature songs. Its lyrics, which let fate and inner conflict seep into Sanzo's party's journey, resonated with the shadowy world of Kazuya Minekura's original work and became a memorable ending for the series.
