TM NETWORK is a Japanese Pop/Rock band. Consisted of Tetsuya Komuro (Keyboardist), Takashi Utsunomiya (Vocalist) and Naoto Kine (Guitarist).
They were original members of a band call Speedway during their school days. The three of them formed TM NETWORK. Their name is commonly thought to stand for "Time Machine Network". However, on September 6th 2006 on an episode of Trivia no Izumi claimed that TM actually stands for 'Tama', the district from Tokyo they all came from. While Trivia no Izumi claims that TM stands for 'Tama' Tetsuya Komuro himself as early as 1984 on the show LiveG, has said that the TM stands for Time Machine.
On August 22, 1983 TM NETWORK took part in "the Fresh Sounds Contest" (フレッシュサウンズコンテスト) which was sponsored by Coca-Cola. The song they performed was "1974" and it was aired on TBS. This was their first step towards a record deal.
They made their record debut with single "Kinyoubi no lion (Friday's Lion)" and album "RAINBOW RAINBOW" on April 21, 1984.
They became famous first in Hokkaido. After a while they had more hits with the songs "Self Control", "GET WILD" and others, soon they became one of the most popular pop/rock bands in Japan.
Several musicians have supported them at their live shows as backing bands such as Tak Matsumoto (B'z), Daisuke Asakura (access), and more.
They changed their name to TMN in 1990, and broke up in 1994. They had reunited under their old name of TM NETWORK in 1999.
They have also compiled with the overseas musicians such as Julio Iglesias Jr., Sheila E, Lee-Hom Wang for "Happiness×3 Loneliness×3".

TM NETWORK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
手書きのポスターながめていた
不思議さ見つけていた
止まることなくめぐる季節
ふたたび春が来る
いつも通りの道をたどり
君は夜を迎える
Through the window it comes
Making shadow inside
Then she will wake up
闇を林を走り抜ける
彼女は Carol Mue
足音響く教室へと
ひとりで忍び込む
Just lean on me Just lean on me
誰かが呼びとめる
Just lean on me Just lean on me
世界が今変わる
The opening lines of TM NETWORK's song CAROL describe a scene at the melting of white snow, where a mysterious girl is gazing at a handwritten poster on a street corner. The lyrics suggest that the singer is drawn to the strangeness in the atmosphere that comes with the ever-revolving seasons. The coming of spring, a time when everything comes to life once more, is mentioned, and the lyrics visualize the girl following the same path every night, repeating the cycle of the new day arriving as she heads home.
Then the lyrics shift focus to Carol Mue, who runs through the darkness of the woods, running towards the school where she stealthily enters the classroom. The chorus of the song speaks of a need for support in times of uncertainty, with the lyrics repeating "Just lean on me." The song's conclusion talks about the world changing at that moment in time, perhaps suggesting a shift in perspective or the occurrence of a significant event.
Overall, the lyrics of CAROL paint a picture of a changing world and the need to find support in times of upheaval, uncertainty, and change.
