Release notes [link]
"Another mischievous instalment from Arthur Loves Plastic, with electro and contemporized disco flourishes. From the demanding groove of "Give It" to the house-engorged throb of "Searching for Love" this is an artist coming of age yet not getting old."

M-Flo
M-Flo (エムフロウ Emu Furō, stylized as m-flo) is a Japanese hip hop group consisting of producer and DJ Taku Takahashi and emcee Verbal.
Former member Lisa left the group in 2002 to pursue a solo career, and the remaining members then started the M-Flo Loves... project working different vocalists for each song over three albums, including the likes of Bonnie Pink, Koda Kumi and BoA.
Their mainstream success and critical acclaim established them as the most iconic and influential hip-hop production team in Japan with success throughout Asia.
Taku Takahashi and Verbal also started successful side-projects outside of M-Flo, such as the Teriyaki Boyz and Global Astro Alliance collaborating with international producers and artists such as Kanye West and the Beastie Boys.
In 2008 the group announced a hiatus, stating that each member would be focusing on their respective side projects. In 2012 the group ended their hiatus with the release of Square One on March 14, 2012.
History
Before M-Flo
Verbal (born as Ryu Young Gi [Korean: 류영기/유영기, Hanja: 柳榮起]) and Taku Takahashi (高橋 拓 Takahashi Taku) first met as students at St. Mary's International School in Tokyo. The pair collaborated in the group N.M.D., in which Takahashi was drummer and Verbal emceed, as well as throwing dance parties where they often performed together freestyle.

Hands - EP
by: M-floThey're warm aren't they? --those hands of yours
They touch my shoulder, I melt until
the words can't even come out
Take me to the sky at dawn
Like a curved boat in the stream,
your fingers go through my hair
Steal me away before the quiet dream is over
Ride the wind
A million years with you only seems like a day
(You know your love takes me away)
Passing through the red clouds dyed by the sunset
(Baby, won't you show me the way)
I want to be at the end of the dream
Even if it's close by, even if it's far away
On the day it was solved by the puzzle
I want to feel your hands more than anything
I join my hands with your hands
so they entertwine
All of a sudden I become aware that
the wonderful freedom is endlessly clear
My mind & body that I polluted with these
hands until today..let it all pass away
I just pray that you'll come
to light up my worn-out soul
LaLaLa...decorating the moon in the night sky
(Let's watch it together)
Baby won't you steal me away
from this place soaked in tears
*I want to be at the end of the dream
Even if it's close, even if it's far away
Baby can't you see I want [my wish] to be granted
I want to feel your hands more than anything
