YUI to resume her musical activities as a part of band “FLOWER FLOWER”

It was revealed that singer-songwriter YUI, who halted her musical activities at the end of last year, will resume her activities as part of rock band “FLOWER FLOWER.”

The band will perform at live event “JAPAN JAM 2013” which will be held at Shinkiba STUDIO COAST on May 4th.

FLOWER FLOWER is the band formed by YUI herself after she called to her the musicians she respected, and she serves as the vocalist and guitarist of the band with the name of “yui” with her completely new look of short blond hair. Apparently, the band started a studio session at the beginning of this year, and also held secret live performances at several locations across Japan since last month.

yui said, “I thought that I would be able to purely enjoy music by creating sound with these members. New flashes and the possibility in music are naturally expanding from each member’s idea and performance.” She also explained regarding the name of the band, “I wanted to give it an unaffected and natural name. There may be so many cool names, but I dared to make it a name that sounds relaxing, and can stay in your head. I hope we can express our powerful and interesting ideas freely.”

After their first appearance at “JAPAN JAM 2013″, FLOWER FLOWER will also perform at “TOKYO METROPOLITAN ROCK FESTIVAL 2013” which will be held at Wakasu Park in Shinkiba, Tokyo on May 26th.

Additionally, they also launched their official site on April 3rd, but it’s currently undecided if the band will release any work at this moment.
