Before assuming the stage name of T.M. Revolution, Takanori Nishikawa sang under the name Haine in the visual-kei band Luis-Mary from 1989 to 1993. He then made his solo debut with the single "Dokusai –monopolize-" in 1996.
T.M. Revolution has since performed a string of hit anime theme songs for Bleach the Movie: Hell Verse, Sengoku Basara Two, D.Gray-man, Darker than Black, Rurouni Kenshin, and Soul Eater. His most popular anime theme songs appeared in Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and its Gundam Seed Destiny sequel, for which he collectively sang six songs. He has also performed theme songs for Valvrave the Liberator, Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers, and Thunderbolt Fantasy.
He also voiced guest roles in Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny, and Rurouni Kenshin. He starred in his own live-action television series with the adaptation of Miyoko Motomura's Okusama wa 18-sai (My Wife Is 18 Years Old) manga. He is the producer on the B-PROJECT male idol project, which spawned a television anime in 2016.
The convention will take place from August 16 to 18 at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. Other Japanese guests at the event include FAKY, Marina Inoue, MIYAVI, Rica Matsumoto, and Yoshihisa Hirano.
