FLOW took the stage and performed at Crunchyroll Expo in San Jose on August 30th.  This was FLOW’s third time performing in San Jose with the first and second at Fanime Con in 2010 and 2011. It's been eight years since then. The concert was sold out with approximately 2,000 people in attendance.

The concert was held in one of the panel rooms at the convention center which was fairly new to me. The stage was facing straight to the back with chairs aligned. Seating was not assigned so it was first come first serve. For a rock concert having chairs still set up was very interesting.

FLOW came on stage and started the concert with “Sign”, the sixth opening song for anime Naruto Shippunden. The concert's setlist was based on the band's many famous anime songs such as “COLORS”, the opening for Code Geass, and "BURN," the opening for Tales of Berseria.

The band also added an intro where each of the members played solo pieces. For his guitar solo, TAKE (Gt) came on stage with light sticks and flashing glasses and danced with the crowd to the song “FROGS~Keronpa Teikoku no Gyakushu~”.

KEIGO (Vo) made sure that everyone in the crowd could understand and used English throughout most of his MC.

The fans went crazy when FLOW performed their cover of “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA” which lead to one of their first anime songs, “GO!!!”
Even after the band had left the stage, the crowd called them back in for an encore. The encore was FLOW's cover of Siam Shade’s “? no Junjou na Kanjou”, which was the anime theme song of Ruroni Kenshin.

Since FLOW has many other famous anime songs I would have like to hear their latest single “Neiro”. Of course we can not forget that they did come out with an album that was released earlier this year in April, called “TRIBALYTHM”.

Hopefully FLOW will return to California soon and play in an even bigger sold-out venue next time.
