Res or RES may refer to:

Res (singer)

Shareese Renée Ballard, better known by her stage name Res /ˈriːs/, is an American singer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Her musical style is a blend of indie pop, soul, and rock. She is currently involved in promoting and releasing her next solo project called ReFried Mac EP, produced by Philadelphia producer Tom Spiker. The Ep called ReFried Mac was released on October 29, 2013. She is also writing her next solo full-length album called RESET, set for a 2014 first quarter single release.

Solo career

Res released her debut album, How I Do, in 2001 along with its first single "Golden Boys." Despite heavy rotation on VH1, the song did not catch on in radio play. "Ice King" (Remixed by Nas) emerged as the second single later that year but also failed to break through with radio audiences and no video was filmed. In early 2002, Res released the third single from How I Do, "They-Say Vision." The song and accompanying video were breakthrough hits and reached #1 on the Billboard Dance chart and #37 on the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. With the chart success of the single, the album entered the Billboard 200 for the first time. A fourth single, "Sittin' Back," was also released, but did not enjoy the same success as "They-Say Vision."

Tsunami (Marvel Comics)

Tsunami was an imprint of Marvel Comics founded in January 2003.

Overview

Marvel's goal was to create comic books that would appeal to manga readers. Other than in the art, the titles shared little in common, with, for example, Runaways and Sentinel being aimed at children and younger teenagers and Mystique touching on espionage and darker themes better suited for an older audience.

The results were a mixed bag. While New Mutants, Mystique, Runaways and Sentinel earned critical acclaim and a devoted fan following, Human Torch, Namor and Venom were complete flops, with the last surviving to issue 18 only on the back of exceptionally high initial sales.

The imprint was discontinued in late 2003. Mystique was the longest running title - lasting until issue 24 overall, although it was absorbed into the regular, mainstream Marvel Comics imprint and had a change of writer as part of the X-Men: ReLoad event after issue 13, while New Mutants, also part of ReLoad, was relaunched from issue 1 as New X-Men: Academy X at the same time. Venom and Runaways carried the imprint branding for the longest period, lasting until issue 18, after which Runaways was briefly cancelled before being relaunched as part of the Marvel Next initiative, while Venom was canceled outright. The other series were canceled after twelve issues.

Tsunami (rock band)

Tsunami is a Heavy Metal band formed in San Jose, CA in the early 1980s. They were originally signed to Enigma Records, which released their self-titled debut album in 1983. Their first single “The Runaround” hit the Billboard charts at number 60 and was played on heavy rotation on almost 200 radio stations nationwide. The band also received radio play of several other songs from their first album such as “Fade to Black” and “Firewater”.

Early days

Bandmates Doug Denton, Tomotaka (Tom) Yamamoto, and Tatsuya (Chris) Miyazaki performed together throughout the Bay Area building up a local following. Bassist Maximus joined the band to help solidify the lineup for the writing and recording process of their first record, and Tsunami was born. After touring in support of their first album, Doug Denton left the band. Maximus continued on to record two more Tsunami albums, which brought Kosh, Steve Tsutsumi, and Bobby Simcox into the band.

Reunion

After the death of original lead guitarist Chris Miyazaki, Maximus, Kosh and Steve Tsutsumi started talking about a Tsunami reunion in honor of Chris. Then, something happened that surprised everyone. Doug Denton asked if he could return for the reunion. With original lead singer Doug Denton back after 30 years, Tsunami has reunited.

Tsunami (Southern All Stars song)

"Tsunami" is a song by the Southern All Stars, released as their forty-fourth single on January 26, 2000.

Overview

The song was the first number-one single for Southern All Stars since the 1996 single Ai no Kotodama on the Oricon weekly charts. The band used the style of hard rock on the previous single "Yellow Man," which was released in March 1999. However, it only managed to reach the number-ten position on Oricon charts. Therefore, they returned to Japanese pop. The song sold over 654,000 copies in the first week and debuted at number-one, beating out Morning Musume's "Koi no Dance Site" on the Oricon weekly charts. The song once spent two weeks at the number-one position, lost one week to B'z's "Kon'ya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni", and reached the number-one position again for three weeks. It sold over 2.9 million copies and became the best selling single for the band. In June 2005, it became the third best-selling single on the Oricon chart, surpassing the sales of "Dango 3 Kyodai".
