T.M.Revolution (real name: Takanori Nishikawa; born September 19, 1970) is a Japanese pop singer originally from Shiga Prefecture. Nishikawa’s stage name stands for Takanori Makes Revolution (Japanese: Takanori ga kakumei wo okosu). He was originally signed under Antinos Records until its collapse in 2002, and is currently represented by Epic Records Japan. TMR is also the first artist to be signed under Tofu Records, a Sony-owned label promoting Japanese pop music in North America.
Nishikawa officially debuted as T.M.Revolution with his single Dokusai -monopolize- (Dictatorship -monopolize-) in May 1996. Nishikawa-san’s first band was originally Luis-Mary, an indie music coordination featuring him as the lead vocalist (with the pseudonym “Haine”). Asakura Daisuke signed on with Nishikawa-san in 1995 under the record label FunHouse to release the first compiled single “BLACK OR WHITE?” (Daisuke Asakura expd. Takanori Nishikawa: Black or White). The selection process and the decision to work with Nishikawa-san was a long, hard choice for Asakura, as he was looking at producing either Katsurayama Shingo or Nishikawa. As it turns out, Nishikawa failed miserably with his first chance to sing for Asakura, and on a second chance, he took the yearning musician under his wings.
Dokusai -monopolize- was welcomed by thousands of fans, and his performance on Pop Jam with Asakura as the synthesist in June 1996 propelled an additional amount of unexpected sales, making the single sell out of its original printing.

Light My Fire is a good slow one too and my favorite TMR song by far! As for a fast one I love Love Saver or Vital Burner! <3

I like having a fast one and a slow one! For the slow one I nominate: Aqualovers ~DEEP into the night, Timeless Mobius Rover, or Slight Faith (since more people will get the tagging right for that one... Notice none of the "difficult/wonky" titles are in the Top 15?...)

That's a good idea. I think we should choose nice and less known songs. A fast one and a slow one? :S

@teh_kimi I feel ya. At least Heart of Sword isn't #1 >_>;; I'm pretty happy about Wild Rush being as high as it is. That was the first TMR song I heard and loved it for a long time, but I feel like everyone forgets about it u.u Maybe we can pick two or three songs and make a marathon of just those. What should we pick?

every time I look at these charts I wanna punch someone...and if there's no one nearby I wanna go out, find someone, and punch them :X repeatedly listening to NOTHING BUT THE ANIME THEMES and claiming you are a fan doesn't make you a fan...it makes you look...I don't even know. -_-

I added a lot of pictures. Nothing new, just more variety. I removed all the announcements from the recent activity because there were a lot. Just click on "pictures" then on "recently uploaded." Enjoy!

I heard about that the day it broke - I was on Yahoo! Japan because I wanted to see how Japan was reacting to Michael Jackson's death and I saw the link off to the side...but it was in Japanese of course, so I went and checked Japan Zone and BAM. There it was. And now look. I have the girl's two singles on my rotation >.>

I had a really Taka-heavy dream last night. It went on for (what seemed like) hours. Usually people just make brief appearances in my dreams, but he stayed for a long time. It had to do with that quote from the German interview the other day. I spent the whole time in my dream trying to convince him that his U.S. fans really do love him and don't think of him as an anime character. It was working.. until I woke up. Now if only we can convince him for real. *le-sigh*

I just added a youtube video and quick description to the Hot Limit page. I think we should work to fill in his profile a little better by adding the proper videos, wiki info, album covers, and then leaving comments on these sub-pages. I think it'll look better for people browsing his profile and show that his fans are active :-) Whattaya say?
