The Official T.M. Revolution Thread

[DDR ninja]

Since there seemed to be quite a few people who liked TMR, I thought I'd start an official thread. T.M. Revolution (along with Ayu of course) is my most favorite singer! ^_^ I love all of his music and he has an incredible voice! Here is a little background I got from his official website. It's kinda outdated, but it'll give you a good idea of his accomplishments in the past years I edited some of the outdated stuff in brackets:

:: BIOGRAPHY::
In May 1996 T.M.Revolution made his debut with the single "DOKUSAI (dictatorship)-monopolize-". T.M. Revolution, short for Takanori Makes Revolution, is artist Takanori Nishikawa's solo project. "HEART OF SWORD -Yoakemae (before dawn)-", his third single released in November 1996 became the theme song for the television anime "Rurouni Kenshin," and he gained a strong following among both anime and music fans. In the following years, T.M.Revolution's success spread throughout Asia and to the West, as they discovered "Rurouni Kenshin."

Following his big break in July 1997, with his fifth hit single "HIGH PRESSURE", his third album "triple joker", released in Jan. 1998 sold a record of 2,000,000 copies. His popularity extended beyond Japan and into Asia, where he also released his albums. The artist was welcomed by throngs of frenzied fans and media when he visited Taiwan in April 1998 to promote the album. After a succession of smash hits, his fourth album "The Force" was released in March 1999. Shortly after the release, a massive two-day concert in Tokyo Dome attracted more than 100,000 people. With his catchy music and lyrics, a lively performance that both fans and the artist himself enjoyed, and a whirlpool of excitement, the concert was a huge success.


[In 2002] T.M.Revolution released "B*E*S*T", a compilation of the artist's work over the [previous] six years.


One of his recent hit singles "INVOKE" is the theme song for the latest installment in the hit Gundam anime series. Mitsuo Fukuda, director of "Mobilesuit Gundam SEED" asked T.M.Revolution after being inspired by another of the artist's songs, "Thunderbird." In March 2003, T.M.Revolution included "Invoke" and "Thunderbird" in the album "coordinate" as part of his homage to "Mobilesuit Gundam SEED." With this album, T.M.Revolution hopes to bring courage and hope to the unsteady society of today, both through his music and performances.


In addition to his music, T.M.Revolution continues to charm his fans with his sense of humor and wit as a DJ of his own radio show, which he has hosted since his debut as a recording artist, now heading to its eighth year.


In August 2003 T.M.Revolution [performed] in Baltimore, Maryland at Otakon, a Japanese anime convention. [Shortly after, Tofu Records released his album "coordinate" and his DVD "T.M.R. LIVE REVOLUTION '02 B*E*S*T SUMMER CRUSH 2002" in the United States].
