m-flo is a Japanese hip hop group consisting of producer and DJ Taku Takahashi and emcee VERBAL as of 2002, ever since the former member Lisa left the group. As to the origins of the group's name, VERBAL had explained that it was originally "mediarite-flow," an intended misspelling of meteorite, but for the Japanese that name was too long, and so Avex had requested that the name be shortened to m-flo. VERBAL had commented that "There's no deep meaning to it. I guess we wanna have impact like a meteorite."   Wikipedia
