swallowed by the waves, love will take shape
through the many scratches.

Two flumpool members form new unit
Kameda Seiji, Yamamura Ryuta (Vo / flumpool), Sakai Kazuki (G/ flumpool), Sugimoto Yuji (Vo, Piano / WEAVER), and Tamada Tom (Dr / 100s) have formed a unit called 'THE TURTLES JAPAN' for a limited time.
The idea of this new unit began when flumpool's Yamamura and Sakai, who celebrated the 5th anniversary of their debut, sought after new inspirations. The two suggested they form a unit to Kameda, who agreed willingly. In addition, Yamamura and Sakai have previously appeared on Kameda's radio program and held a session live together. This is said to be another reason why they decided to form the unit.
The unit name comes from the American rock band The Turtles. Just like The Turtles' representative song "Happy Together", the new unit hopes to "walk together with the listeners through music".
THE TURTLES JAPAN will perform for the very first time at 'MBS Oto Matsuri 2014' which will be held from October 10 to the 12 at Osaka-jo Hall. They are expected to perform some of their original songs during this live.
