Japanese mixture-rock band FLOW finished their world tour “FLOW WORLD TOUR ‘NARUTO THE ROCK’” with a show in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on November 6. Built around their songs for the NARUTO anime series, the tour played 48 shows in 47 cities and drew more than 62,000 people in total, according to Daily Sports (November 7).

The Kuala Lumpur set ran 15 songs, including their anime theme songs, and the signature track “GO!!!” turned the whole venue into one big wave.

From Europe and North America to Latin America, Asia and Australia

The tour opened in Europe and North America in October 2025 and moved on to Latin America, Asia and Australia in 2026. Songs written for Japanese anime have become songs that crowds around the world sing back.

A new world tour from January 29, 2027

During the closing song “Sign,” FLOW announced “FLOW WORLD TOUR 2027 ‘ONCE IN A CENTURY’ ~ANIME THE MAX!!!~,” which starts in Tokyo on January 29, 2027, and travels across Japan and overseas. They also announced “ONCE IN A CENTURY,” their first original full album in about four years, as the culmination of their “once-in-a-century year of 26 (FLOW).”

Their latest single “UNSTOPPABLE / Sorrow” came out on October 28. Both songs are opening themes for TV anime series (FLOW official site).

BRUSH MUSIC editor's note

An anime theme turns into a sing-along in countries that speak different languages. FLOW's tour shows what happens when a song reaches people before the band does: fans walk in already knowing the words. Indie artists can build a smaller version of that door too, through games, films or creator collaborations, so the first overseas show doesn't start from zero.
