男性声優キャララップバトル『ヒプノシスマイク』TEASER MOVIE

Hypnosis Mic -Division Rap Battle- (ヒプノシスマイク-Division Rap Battle-) is a Japanese multimedia project, based off rap and hip-hop, created by King Records under their EVIL LINE RECORDS label. The characters were designed by Idea Factory under their Otomate label, with Yuichiro Momose as the main scenario writer. The project had started on September 2, 2017.

The project was initially based around four rap teams, Buster Bros!!!, MAD TRIGGER CREW, Fling Posse, and Matenro. In September 2019, two new teams, Dotsuitare Hompo and Bad Ass Temple debuted.

The franchise has since grown to include manga adaptations, a live stage production, a mobile game, and an anime adaptation.

Synopsis[]

The history of H was eradicated by the Party of Words. Under them, all conflict, small or military-scale was replaced by the use of a special device mesmerizing the psyches of the people, named Hypnosis Microphone. The lyrics channelled through this microphone affect people's sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system​s, making it possible to alter one's state of mind.

Outside of the Chuohku District, men live in the Shinjuku, Shibuya, Ikebukuro, Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya Divisions. Groups of MCs representing their division would fight over territories with the power of music, with the loser of a rap battle having to hand over a part of their territory to the winner. In this world, where words, not weapons, became tools of power, a legendary rap crew took over most of Japan, behind only the Party of Words, only to mysteriously disband one day.

The Party of Words now, has gathered members of this legendary crew and some related to them to fight with pride, not for territory or war anymore, but for honour and prestige, at Hypnosis Mic - Division Rap Battle.

Story[]

In the wake of the Third World War that eradicated the fifth of humanity, the government of Japan was overthrown and replaced by the Party of Words, using Hypnosis Mics. The Party of Words had split the country into so-called "Divisions", the only parts of the country where men were allowed to live, with the Chuohku District as the centre. That's how the H Era began.

They handed out the mics to the men, allowing them to participate in the rap battles for the territory, which had almost started a turf war to rule the country. Around that time, the legendary rap group, The Dirty Dawg, consisting of Ichiro Yamada, Samatoki Aohitsugi, Ramuda Amemura and Jakurai Jinguji rose. They took over the entire country, being right after the Party of Words, however, one day, the group disbanded and former friends turned into enemies.

Years later, the Party of Words organized the Division Rap Battle, the grand championship between Divisions' representatives where they can fight each other for money, territory, and prestige. The former members of The Dirty Dawg had formed their own teams to represent their respective home Divisions:

Eventually, they were joined by the two new teams, led by former members of a crew Samatoki Aohitsugi was a part of:
