M-flo
m-flo is a Japanese hip-hop group founded in 1997 under the Rhythm Zone music label. The group consists of DJ ☆Taku Takahashi (高橋 拓 Takahashi Taku), rapper Verbal and vocalist LISA, the latter of whom left the group to pursue a solo career in 2002 before rejoining in 2017. The group is well-renowned, becoming one of the most influential hip-hop acts in Asia, and has frequently collaborated with other artists via their "m-flo loves..." project, including Crystal Kay, Bonnie Pink, and Shadow the Hedgehog. All three members also have extensive bodies of solo work, including contributions to animated series and video games such as Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt and Persona 5: Dancing Star Night.
Following a four year hiatus, m-flo returned to music-making in 2012 with the release of their sixth studio album, "Square One". That same year, the group produced "TRANSFORMERZ", the second opening theme for the Japanese broadcast of Transformers: Prime. The group later produced a "version 2.0" remix of the song in collaboration with Ken Oshima for their 2012 remix album m-flo DJ Mix: Bon! Enkai, which ended up being used as the show's third opening theme. The original mix was released as one of the tracks on the group's seventh album, NEVEN, in 2013, while a slightly-extended mix of "version 2.0" was included on their m-flo DJ Mix: Asobon! Enkai remix album later that year.
