2006年末に設立された東京のレコード・レーベル。
the nation’s premier label for hushed music – Pitchfork
Flau releases are sonically quite diverse, from acoustic folk to dream pop and complex drum experiments. And though eclectic, never before has a label’s oeuvre come together to so closely sound the way a cherry blossom looks – The FADER
one of the biggest names in the world of really small sounds…the perfect soundtrack to a Sunday evening – Timeout Tokyo
consistently impressive – XLR8R
Flau has associated itself with a signature sound…association with Flau suggests a superior level of pop craftsmanship…What’s remarkable about Fukuzono’s project, which launched at the end of 2006, is that he’s achieved quality control without uniformity – exclaim!
Flau has shown that sometimes silence beats flashiness – METROPOLIS Magazine
ever-reliable – Bandcamp
flau seem to have a magic touch; everything they put out..has a celestial, positively glowing aura about it that has us longing for more..sonically the label is incredibly diverse, but what its releases share in common are a playful curiosity, an unmatchable quality and a genre-bending commitment to evoking time and space within their sounds – DUMMY
Flau label casts its net across a worldwide community of artists with a particular affection for fragile arrangements and microscopic songwriting…A reliable resource for all the finest, quirkiest exploratory electronic pop music – Boomkat
it combines genuine emotion with a sense of playfulness – Fluid Radio
everyone’s favourite Japanese label and, of course, we make no exception – Going Solo
constantly surprising, consistently stunning – Dummy
un monde de l’infiniment fragile et doux – Ondefixe
one of our favourite labels – Textura
Flau are one of those unassuming labels, which since 2007 have been quietly making their way in the world releasing a diverse range of high quality albums…their roster of international artists blend field recordings, acoustic instruments, microsounds, and voice, in a sound that has become truly synonymous with the label – Furthernoise
worth finding – Foxy Digitalis
grow, pushing boundaries and releasing gems – Drifting, Almost Falling
An inner experience and pure fascination to little things concept and microscopic sounds. FLAU is the latest Label Of The Moment – Otsechka
the Tokyo label’s dreamy and cinematic aesthetic seems tailor-made for two favourite hobbies: idleness and letting the imagination run wild – Solar Flares
This label collects very particular artists from all over the world all under one roof that eclectically holds them together. Each artist is so unique, that you would like to read a whole book about them – PonyDanceClyde

徳澤 青弦 （とくざわ せいげん）
チェリスト。東京藝術大学卒業後、anonymassを結成。演奏活動に加え、アレンジ、プロデュース、ディレクションまで幅広く手がける。NHK『ムジカ・ピッコリーノ』出演、『君の名は。』オーケストレーション、『機動戦士 Gundam GQuuuuuuX』作曲、『With ensemble』音楽監督など、ジャンルを横断して活躍している。
林正樹（はやし まさき）
ピアニスト、作曲家。ソロ活動のほか、「林正樹グループ」「間を奏でる」、Banksia Trio、「菊地成孔とペペ・トルメント・アスカラール」などで活動。小野リサ、椎名林檎、LEO、藤本一馬、マレー飛鳥など数多くの音楽家との共演を重ねる。映画『すばらしき世界』の音楽で第76回毎日映画コンクール音楽賞を受賞。
Pianist Masaki Hayashi and cellist Seigen Tokuzawa formed their musical partnership back in 2011. At the time they were both playing in Naruyoshi Kikuchi’s Pepe Tormento Azucarar; with Hayashi grounded primarily in jazz, and Tokuzawa in classical training, it was to be an interesting partnership.
Various influences and side projects have shaped the duo’s work since their acclaimed debut, Drift. Hayashi began his career in the late 1990s, touring internationally, and has since worked with a wide range of artists including Ringo Sheena and bossa nova vocalist Risa Ono; his score for Miwa Nishikawa’s film Under the Open Sky, winner of the Audience Award at the Chicago International Film Festival, earned him one of Japan’s top honors for film music.
Tokuzawa, on the other hand, has devoted himself to arrangement, working not only with strings but whole orchestras; he provided string arrangements for Makoto Shinkai’s Your Name., composed music for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX, and played on the soundtrack for Nintendo’s Splatoon.
Their partnership, neither jazz nor post classical, speaks of a mutual respect for each other’s craft, with both musicians drawing on years of separate musical experience for a dynamic, unified result on their new album, B.
