Editor's note

M-flo, the Japanese electronic trio that kept moving.

A hip-hop and electronica group that shaped Japanese pop for two decades, through lineup shifts and a few controversies.

For a quick sense of their style, 'Do You Like It' and 'Hands' hold up. They're just sharp, melodic electronic pop.

M-flo's sound was a clean, early-2000s blend of hip-hop, R&B, and electronica that felt fresh in Japan. Their track 'Do You Like It' is one of those songs that still turns up in playlists. The 2009 single 'Against All Gods' even stirred up enough debate to draw criticism from politicians and religious groups.

They started in 1998 with Verbal, Taku Takahashi, and Lisa, putting out 'Planet Shining' that same year. Lisa left in 2017, and Salyu came in on vocals, but they kept releasing albums like 'Bond' and 'Tribute'.

Archive material and source history

M-flo formed in 1998 as a Japanese electronic music trio with Verbal handling lyrics, Taku Takahashi on DJ and production duties, and Lisa as vocalist. Their debut album 'Planet Shining' came out that same year, mixing hip-hop, electronica, and R&B. They followed with albums like 'Expo Expo' in 2000 and 'Astromantic' in 2002.

Over the next decade they kept releasing records, including 'Cosmicolor' in 2004, 'Beat Space Nine' in 2005, and 'Loves' in 2008. Their song 'Do You Like It' appears among their most recognized tracks. Lisa left the group in 2017, and vocalist Salyu joined afterward.

Their 2009 track 'Against All Gods' drew criticism from some conservative politicians and religious groups for its lyrics about societal values. The band continued working through lineup changes, putting out albums like 'Bond' in 2014 and 'Tribute' in 2018.
