The Same as a Flower

The Same As a Flower is the fourth studio album by Japanese psychedelic-folk rock duo Nagisa Ni te. It was released in 2004 by Org Records. In 2004, P-Vine Records re-released this album, followed by Jagjaguwar in 2004 for North American/European distribution with added text to the album cover.

The album can be described as the band's most intimate effort, focusing on the delicate and naive pop sounds of their music.
