T.M.Revolution is looking for fans to take part in their HOT LIMIT dance project

Since we last wrote about Toppu, a company Takanori of T.M.Revolution opened to be in charge of their 20th anniversary projects, they have announced project “Minna HOT LIMIT”. This is a call to recruit fans to participate by submitting videos of themselves dressed up in the classic attire and dance. For those who are not familiar with the costume, it is basically black straps covering vital parts of the body. This track came out initially in 1999 and appeared in “The Force” album, which was then covered by HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR in 2008.

Fans will need to video their dancing on a smart phone, upload it to YouTube and send the link with your nickname and video URL to hotlimit@sme.co.jp. The title of the email needs to be “みんなのHOT LIMIT”.

You will need to submit this between April 6 to April 20 and If there is a large number of applicants there is a possibility that your video may not be used. For more information, here is a long document on the Sony site in Japanese.

T.M.R have also provided instructions for a make-shift HOT LIMIT costume in a video. Check out the screenshots below:

For this costume you will need: Black socks, black tape and some boxers/shorts.

Start off with a pair of black boxers and socks on.

Stick the tape down the side of your leg.

For the horizontal tape, make sure it is evenly spaced.

Get a friend to help with the top half of your body.

HOT LIMIT transformation complete!

Is this project a joke? No. Does it look kind of silly and somewhat fun? It depends on the person! Anyhow, it seems we can look forward to seeing some interesting clips soon as the deadline looms!
