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.

Lol. It is a bit hard to understand, but the way I see it. He probably thinks he is only popular in the US because of anime. I think Japanese Artists are oblivious to the fact that there are fans who follow them for their music rather than because they played a song on an anime.

Is it true that Takanori thinks Americans (And maybe others who are not European) are simple minded Otakus? :TdT: My sister got that idea from an interview he did not that long ago.

5 song marathon? o_O I don't know if I can loop songs for that long anymore. XD It's been so long since I looped a song for a really long time. ._.

Also: Vote YES to this, please! (and because that’s the first picture of Takanori I’ve ever uploaded in my 4+ years at last.fm, though it’s a larger version of this one)

Sure. When will it be? And is the goal next time to boost listener numbers, scrobbling numbers, or both (just curious)?

Okay, so let's go with 夢幻の孤光 then! :-) Thanks mc08! How about we have 5 total songs for the next marathon? Slight Faith, fragile, 夢幻の孤光 (Mugen no Kokou), AQUALOVERS ～DEEP into the night～ (from the U:C album), and one more fast one. 5 would be a good number I think. Not too many but not TOO repetitive. Yay or nay?

I wish more people would loop fragile and Slight faith [2] OMG THIS SO HARD

Sorry for joining the conversation late, I’m so behind and only just noticed these shouts. As I wrote in sh0kr0k’s shoutbox, Mugen no Kokou should be 夢幻の孤光 (and because anything else gets too convoluted). Though, I wish more people would loop fragile and Slight faith; those are two of the most underrated TMR songs ever.

"夢幻の孤光" it is, then? Either way, I have been addiiiiiiiiiiiicted to this song ever since we first brought it up. xDDD

I say we go with the kanji

The ignited single lists Mugen no Kokou as "夢幻の弧光". There's furigana stating that "kokou" should be read as "ark", but the correct tag would be "夢幻の弧光". I hope this clears up the confusion about the tag. x:

Hmm... well let's take a vote then: a) 夢幻の孤光 or b) Mugen no Kokou (Arc) ?

Hm, well on my Under:Cover live DVD it's listed as "夢幻の孤光" on the setlist, so that's what I go by xD

Can't believe I JUST found this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4BZSv4VF_8 ((Did she say "Takamoni Makes Revolution"??)) >_>;; I found myself in the audience a couple of times. It's GREAT to have somewhat "real" footage of this show. I wish it had been recorded for DVD t_t;
