Takanori Nishikawa
Takanori Nishikawa (西川 貴教, Nishikawa Takanori, born September 19, 1970 in Yasu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan) is a renowned Japanese singer and actor. He performs as T.M.Revolution (TMR), which stands for "Takanori Makes Revolution" (貴教が革命を起こす, Takanori ga kakumei o okosu) although the name stems from the famous 80s pop electronic band TM Network. Despite most of his songs being written by Akio Inoue and composed/arranged by Daisuke Asakura (also TMR's former producer), T.M.Revolution is considered Nishikawa's solo project. Nishikawa is also known for contributions of ending and opening themes to many notable anime and game series.
Nishikawa debuted as TMR with the release of his first single "Dokusai (Monopolize)" (独裁 -monopolize-) in May 1996. Later that year, his third single "Heart of Sword (Yoake Mae)" (HEART OF SWORD ～夜明け前～) was used as the third ending song for the anime series Rurouni Kenshin, further expanding his fan base. He also contributed six songs to the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED franchise – three for Gundam SEED and three for Gundam SEED Destiny. Nishikawa has guest starred as a minor character in each of those anime series that featured his songs. In 2010, his single "Save the One, Save the All" was used as the ending theme song for the movie Bleach: Hell Verse. Nishikawa has also had a long-standing affair with Capcom's Sengoku Basara series of video games and media franchise, with several of his songs being used for it, including Crosswise and Flags.

Fragile
by: T.m. Revolutionhada ni kizamu toiki made
yureru Ü Ü shiruetto Ü Ü derikashii
nusumareta hitomi no oku
kimi wa "nani" o utsusu no?
Until the sighs that carve into skin
Shaking Ü Ü Silhouette Ü Ü Delicacy
"What" is captured inside of
Eyes stolen away from you? (1)
furete Ü Ü mitai no nara
subete Ü Ü ubaisareba ii
'Cause I need to know
Touch Ü Ü if you want to see
It's better Ü Ü if everything's taken from you
'Cause I need to know
furueru karada daite
kodou ga ima Ü Ü kikoeru
mayonaka no taiyou ni nure
boku wa Ü Ü iki o hisometa
Embrace the trembling body
The throbbing is now audible
Drenched in the midnight sun
I lowered my breathing
furete Ü Ü kowareru hodo
ai ga Ü Ü kimi o kaeteyuku
'Cause I need to hold
Touch Ü Ü until it's broken down
Love Ü Ü is changing you
'Cause I need to hold
furete Ü Ü shimaeru nara
subete Ü Ü ushinatte mo ii
Touch Ü Ü if you can finish
It's okay Ü Ü if everything's lost
furete Ü Ü kowareru kara
ai wa Ü Ü boku o kaeteyuku
Touch Ü Ü because it's breaking down
Love Ü Ü it's changing me
subete...
ai ga...
Everything...
Love is...
