flumpool (フランプール) is a Japanese rock band from Osaka, Japan. They formed the band in 2002. In 2007 they gained a drummer and changed their name to flumpool. The band's name is derived from the English word "four", since there are 4 members, they took the first letter "f", along with the word meaning mass, "lump" and the word "pool". flumpool is under A-Sketch, the new sub-label created by AMUSE in 2008.
