m.o.v.e (also spelled as M.O.V.E; formerly known as move) is a 3-member Japanese musical group. The group consists of yuri [Masuda Yūri (益田祐里, Masuda Yūri?)] on vocals, motsu [Segawa Mototaka (瀬川素公, Segawa Mototaka?)] on the rapping, and t-kimura [Kimura Takashi (木村貴志, Kimura Takashi?)] as the producer.

In 1996 after the break up of t-kimura's previous project Favorite Blue, he formed the band move and by 1997 they released their first single Rock it Down, but they achieved fame when their followup single, Around the world was used in the anime Initial D.[1] In 2005, the group changed their name by adding abbreviation marks between letters and are currently still signed with the avex tune recording label.

m.o.v.e is perhaps best known for the unique style with which they blend rock, rap, electronica, metal, and many other genres into their music. m.o.v.e are also well-known for their contribution of opening and closing theme songs for the Initial D series. These include around the world, Rage your dream, BREAK IN2 THE NITE, Blazin' Beat, Gamble Rumble, DOGFIGHT, and Noizy Tribe. The also provided the opening theme for the anime series Ikki Tousen with their song Drivin' Through the Night as well as the ending theme for the anime Final Fantasy Unlimited, Romancing Train, and the ending credits for KOEI's Dynasty Warriors 2 video game, Can't Quit This!!!! ~KNOCK'EM OUT~ [SH FUNK MIX]
