Are you completely ignorant of the fact that Verbal (the frontman of m-flo) raps in EVERY SINGLE song? Also, they are not a Korean music group. Verbal might be of Korean decent, but he was born and raised in Japan. Taku is pure Japanese, and so is Lisa.
Get your facts straight before you go talking shit.
As much as I love and enjoy listening to m-flo right now. This is when they were most original....... During the time Verbal really used to rip it up on the mic with his metaphorical style. Now it just sounds like everything else. Either way this is true hip-hop.
Yeah I heard screwtape wasnt that impressed. I might be just me because I know alot of people loved that song. Idk it isnt lose my religion status.... now that song was amazing.
agreed. He's not the same L-Universe he was years ago. All these years of pop made him lose his skill lyrically. i guess if he stayed that route tho, he wouldn't be what he is today.
At the time of this song, no, but now yeah. But m-flo is not a good representation of Mainstream Japanese music. I guess it would be like hearing outkast and thinking all rap music sounds like that.
The thing that your missing is that they actually cultivated the J-pop with the beats, lyrics (Sometimes), Collaborations...that didn't change until...lisa left.
M-flo is a good representation because they were able to reach out to NEW ARTISTS & OTHERS THAT wanted to be/or have already been in J-pop. KATO, RYOHEI, MELODY, BoA, DOPPING PANDA, ect.
They created bridges. And the J-pop artists wanted to work with them*
- One of the songs I uploaded like...two years ago to upload m-flo songs that were on IIDX....
Needless to say and in short...Avex took care of the second memory (and did they...), so I'll hold onto my first memory. Finally glad to see the video to this song in full. XD
dem fucking scratches, hell yeah

素晴らしい楽曲ですね~!LISAの甘い声と良い意味でのちょいダサめのラップがたまらないです!!余談ですがTaku☆の顔が西武の中島に少し似てる...w

M-floが初めて出てきた時に出したインディーズ時代の曲で
「the way we were」のカップリング。
当時はフューチャートラックスという番組で紹介され、このPVがよく
流れていました。
ちなみに、このシングルCDは500枚限定生産で私は見事にGETできました!
エイベックスの担当者に電話で卸し先まで聞いて購入したのですが、
本当にレアなCDです。

約2~3年前にm-floを知ったばかりで、こういった昔の音や映像は始めてみます。
10年も前から、こんないい音を作っていたんですね。
Lisaの脱退は、どうしてだったんでしょう?
UPありがとうございます。

Verbal is still one of the sickest MCs out of Japan.
@MochaNuts have you not heard "Love Me, Hate the Game" he explains his rap situation in his verse.
@Promisetime yes Taku is Japanese completely but Lisa is actually mixed with Columbian.

Ohh god, this vid is so old. And yet it still rips. Was M-flo mainstream in Japan? If so, I want to listen to mainstream Japanese music more often.

Thats a shame really. The two Japanese artists I listen to (Dragon Ash and M-Flo) have really jazzy and groovy beats. Shame its not a representation.
ubercraz007 2 years ago
That's a good comparison. They are kinda like that.

So...that's what i feel.
They were known to create not copy.

No kidding, I can't tell you how many friends I've introduced to M-Flo's stuff and their jaws just drop.... Followed by 'where can I get this???'

This song brings back two memories...
- The first IIDX song I played
- One of the songs I uploaded like...two years ago to upload m-flo songs that were on IIDX....
Needless to say and in short...Avex took care of the second memory (and did they...), so I'll hold onto my first memory. Finally glad to see the video to this song in full. XD
