Flower - Still + Sakura Regret

I used to listen to Japanese music more than Korean. Eventually they balanced each other out, but Korean music has become more dominate these past few years. However, I would like to blame it on the availabity of Japanese music compared to Korean music. Despite how popular it is, there aren't that many sites dedicated to providing new Japanese music. The few that are, which I did follow, have now closed. I'm currently in the process of going through my bookmarks and realise that a lot of sites have died. Cleaning it up and finding new resources will be such a chore.

Anyway, I'v recently started listening to Flower. Yep, Flower. I've got nothing against their name, but finding anything related to them is kind of hard. They're one of EXILE's sister groups, three in total, and probably my favourite one. What's unique about these groups is that there are two singers and the rest are dancers. When I first started listening to EXILE and decided to check out their promotional video, I found it odd that only two people were singing and everyone else just danced. It was a foreign concept, acknowledging that these dancers were part of the group. Over time, I thought it was a brilliant idea.

Now I would like to present to you the two songs that I've had stuck in my head this week. Underneath is just a part of the translation that I liked.

Flower - Still

I’m still in love with you
Even if the scenery that I saw together with you that day changes
I continue to shake with love for you I still remember you
Surely I’m the way I am now because of those days
If possible, I want to tell you “thank you”

(the song begins at around the two minute mark)

Flower - Sakura Regrets

If you live your life alone no one can betray you
Nothing is certain, I know, but I want something to believe in
