Lyrics
Stand, if you will, right next to me Wrapped around in the wind of eternity See, for yourself the history Nature's players boasting victory Grab, the fruit of tomorrow From which the energy of life we borrow Taste, the weight of time The only witness of glory and crime Notice, how weak and petty we are In the grand picture we're drawn afar Hey, we can't help it We die, only our grave's legit But love, your very existence You're the source of my subsistence Slow down, take your time And feel the Flow Only if we watch together everything there is a Flow Only with you do I wanna be part of the Flow Notice, how weak and petty we are In the grand picture we're drawn afar Hey, we can't help it We die, only our grave's legit But love, your very existence You're the source of my subsistence Slow down, take your time And feel the Flow Only if we live it can we keep up to the speed of the Flow Only with you do I wanna fall into the Flow Only if we watch together everything there is a Flow Only with you do I wanna be part of the Flow

Even though the flow of people, time, the surrounding environment, and myself are being drifted away, I don't know whether it's fast or slow.

No matter how many times I try, I'm having trouble with the same speed changes. When it starts moving, it won't stop.

When I hear this,
am I the only person who thinks of source code or blueprints?

U1's body fat seems like that of an athlete. That's amazing~

I think I've heard this song the most during checks. No matter how tired I was after checking for many hours, no matter how many times I listened to this song, I never get tired of it.

I never thought I'd work on the same job in this way. U1 is one of my very close colleagues since he joined the company back then.
When I was involved in the pop'n series, there was a period when the division changed and I hadn't seen him in a long time, but as they recently merged, we soon sat near each other once again.
Looking back, I first encountered pop'n when he was testing the first home version of pop'n and playing it at his desk, I asked him "What's that?", and he let me play it.
At that time, I felt like I said "Wow~! I don't feel like I could press nine buttons!!", but could you imagine how something like this happened to me afterwards? (laughs)

My memories of Flow? OK, let's talk about it.
Looking back, I was involved in creating pop'n 15 one year ago.
I soon started to decide which songs to crossover, and I reserved a spot for DDR, thinking that it'd be a song from SuperNOVA.
I then started to decide songs related to the four elements, and I reserved one final song for wind.
I've personally been a secret fan of U1's songs and remixes from the beginning, and I wanted to include U1's song in this DDR spot.
In other words, at that time, in that timing, "Flow" fulfilled all these conditions.
Although things in the world generally occur in a big flow, it's said that the process of including this song in pop'n, exactly aligned with this Flow.
