FLOWER FLOWER

Flower Flower was first formed in early 2013. It was the second musical project of vocalist YUI, who originally debuted as a solo artist in 2005. After five studio albums, Yui announced her intention to retire from music as a soloist after the release of her two grestest hits albums in December 2012. The band started with recording sessions, followed by a series of secret lives across Japan in March 2013. The project was officially announced in April 2013, followed by a series of festival performances. The group released their first single "Tsuki" digitally in June.

Two more songs were released from the album as digital singles: "Kamisama", a stock song from their setlists, was released on May 21, and. "Subarashii Sekai" was released on October 1, before the announcement of the album, however featured the album's cover artwork for its cover..

The album was recorded at various recording studios in Tokyo. All songs featured lyrics written exclusively by Yui, however most of the songs were composed by the band as a single entity. Three songs were composed solely by Yui: "Tōmei na Uta", "Ohayō no Kiss o" and "Kimi no Koto".

Yui felt that with Flower Flower, they could make any sound they wanted, but with Mi the strongest feeling she had was of destruction. The song "Kamisama" was the first song where Yui played the electric guitar.

The booklet and cover artwork were designed by Coa Graphics, and featured illustration by artist Natsuko Fujii..

All lyrics written by Yui.
