FLOWER FLOWER-音樂的純粹與自然
FLOWER FLOWER- The Purity and Naturalness of Music
日本搖滾樂隊FLOWER FLOWER由主唱及結他手yui、低音結他手mafumafu、鼓手sacchan及鍵盤手mura☆jun於2013年組成。yui對音樂的純粹與自然，及抱著希望透過音樂自由地表達自己的想法組團，而且相比其他帥氣的名字，她更希望能起一個讓人感到活力又副有想像力的名字，這便是「FLOWER FLOWER」的由來。
FLOWER FLOWER is a Japanese rock band formed in 2013 by yui on vocal and guitar, mafumafu on bass, sacchan on drums and mura☆jun on keyboard. With the purity and natural yui has towards music and the will to express her feeling freely to the audience, she came up with the name "FLOWER FLOWER". Except choosing a cool name for the band, she hoped to have a name which combine energy and imagination.
主唱yui的新蛻變
原為日本人氣創作女歌手的yui於2012年宣佈暫別樂壇後、與團員在2013年於日本多個場所舉行秘密LIVE，5月4日於東京舉行的「Japan Jam」首次公開以FLOWER FLOWER主唱的姿態演出。yui曾在暫停歌手身分後在官方網站透過找到新挑戰，以後的工作模式亦會改變。其實yui早在看過團員的現場演出後便有找他們合作的想法、當三人收到yui的邀請後亦十分愕然，雖然三人是yui十分尊敬的樂手，畢竟由2005年岀道至今的她在日本歌壇的地位可說是數一數二。擺脫過往清新少女形象，剪了一頭金色短髮的yui曾在訪問說過她不知道這樂隊可維持多久，但有些音樂如不決心捨棄生命中的一些東西，是不可能創作岀來的，FLOWER FLOWER的組成對她很重要，所以也很想為這樂隊決心賭上什麼。而四人對音樂的純粹，就成了風格豐富多樣的FLOWER FLOWER。
After yui announced to suspend the identity of a singer song writer in 2012, she fronted to form this band and held a lot of secret live around Japan in March and performed in "Japan Jam" which was held in Tokyo at the first time publicly as the vocalist of FLOWER FLOWER. yui wrote in her official website after her suspension in 2012 that she found a new challenge in her music life and her mode of working will be changed in the future. The truth is yui had come up with the idea with cooperating with the members of FLOWER FLOWER after watched their live performances long time ago. Members were so shocked by the time they received the invitation by yui as she really played a decisive role in the music scene since her debut in 2005 even they are all musicians that yui respects so much. Shaken off the fresh and clean character before, yui cut her hair short and dyed it gold. " I don't know how long this band could last but there's some music that you couldn't create if you don't have the determination to lose something important in your life. This band is so important to me that I want to bet something that means to me on FLOWER FLOWER. " said by yui in some interviews.The members' purity towards music turn their music rich and colorful.
綻放成美麗花朵的《実》
2014年初yui因被診斷患上恐慌症，所以FLOWER FLOWER的活動暫時終止，但幸好病情很快好轉，原予定在yui的生日3月26推出的第一張專輯《実》延期到11月26日推出。
In early 2014, yui was suffered form panic decease and the FLOWER FLOWER was suspended for a while. Luckily yui recovered in a short period of time but the release of their first album 実(Mi) was postponed from 26th March , which is the birthday of yui, to 26th November.

專輯的歌曲大部分也是四人一起創作，在風格主題什麼也沒有決定好的情況下便作成，sacchan曾於訪問說：「現在想起也不知道那時候為什麼會寫出這樣的歌，這好像有種一期一會的感覺，但創作專輯時卻沒緊張的感覺。」mura☆jun也說過：「這好像破壞了我原本在腦中的概念，但專輯卻在一個安定自由的節奏完成了。」《実》的風格雖屬搖滾，但歌曲給人的感覺得卻很跳躍，像<素晴らしい世界>給人光明的感覺，但<席を立つ>卻給人一種詭異及帶點哀怨的感覺，yui對於專輯的風格曾表示：「曲中確實帶著『破壞』的感情，這也是我們想傳達的，我也不知道會被說是什麼風格，但至少希望可帶給聽眾某些衝擊。」自然而然的為音樂帶來各種可能性，這亦是FLOWER FLOWER的美學之一。
Most of the songs were made by four of them together in the music studio without coming up any decisions about the theme and style of the album. " I even can't remember why I made those songs at that time. Although it gave me a feeling of once-in-a-life encounter, I didn't stress when we made the songs." Once said by sacchan in interviews. " This might be different from what I was expected to have in the album but this album was completed in a quiet and free rhythm. " said by mura☆jun. 実(Mi) was categorized under the genre of rock but the feeling that it gives to the audience diverges. For instance 素晴らしい世界(subarashii sekai) gives a bright and sunny feeling yet 席を立つ(sekiotatsu) gives a weird and gloomy feeling." The songs were combined with the feeling of destroying which is also what we wanted to express. I don't know what people will say about the style of this album but at least I hope to astonish our listeners." said by yui when talking about the style of this album.

「実」的漢字有果實及真實兩個意思，而專輯的歌曲包含了許多的主題；講述人對神的反思的<神様>、想破壞規律的<空気>、對世界憧憬希望的<素晴らしい世界>、想守護所愛的<ひかり>、決意追尋未知世界的<月>、對自己人生反思的<スタートライン>等等。包含著各種各樣，簡單又複雜的情緒，確實像人一樣真實，而這種真實卻令人可在生活中綻放。
The word "実" combines the meaning of "fruit" and "reality" thus the songs in this album contains a lot of themes that 神様(Kamisama) talks about the reflection between humans and the God, 空気(Kuuki) talks about the will to destroy the rules, ひかり(hikari) talks about the will to protect what we love, スタートライン(start line) talks about the reflection we have towards our life e.t.c. 実 combines with lots of feeling and meanings which is simple but complicated at the same time. This contradiction resembles human which make our lives real and colorful.
