[Tokyo] In Person: manage budjet ]</ref> The pair collaborated together in the accounting division NEC Electronics, in which both Kohei Jimmura and Hiroyuki Shibata were co-workers in accounting divison, as well as throwing parties where they often hit on together freestyle. Following highschool, Kohei got a car accident to end up being in a wheelchair lest of his life Wheel-Chair User[1] in Kanagawa while Hiroyuki relocated to study in Oregon. Following his return to Japan, the duo began performing in clubs and on television[1] hoping to attract the attention of record companies. In 1998, Taku met Asakawa Masaji, the director of management company Artimage and DJ of the group GTS. Masaji invited Taku to produce a reworking of Barbra Streisand's The Way We Were with a rap by Verbal, originally intended as a GTS release. The song was released on vinyl in 1998 on Avex Trax's Rhythm Republic indie imprint and later on the compilation album The Intergalactic Collection: ギャラコレ, and sold about 1000 units.[1]
Forming Revolutionaries Japan[edit]
Following the release of "The Way We Were", Verbal and Taku invited Lisa Elizabeth Sakura Narita (成田 エリザベス 桜, Narita Erizabesu Sakura), a friend while at St. Mary's who at the time was performing under the pseudonym "Unika" solo and in several underground projects trying to gain credit as a musician,[1] to collaborate with them on a second single, Been so long, released under the M-Flo name. The name, originally "Mediarite Flow", was considered too long, and was shortened by the group's label to "M-Flo". Verbal has commented that "There's no deep meaning to it. I guess we want to have an impact (in music) like a meteorite."[1] The song was released on a limited-run vinyl with Rhythm Republic in 1998, attracting the attention of the major Avex Trax sublabel Rhythm Zone.
