Also known as: ヒプノシスマイク, ヒプマイ, ヒ腐マイ, 히프마이, hypmic, 催眠麦克风, HPMI
A rap battle music franchise by King Records and Evilline Records.
The concept surrounds groups of three rappers rap battling to gain territory for their respective divisions in a Post-World War III era. The production and/or ownership of weapons has been banned in Japan following a government coup, hence why they use Hypnosis Microphones in these territory battles.
