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".

追いかけることさえ
できなかったあの夜
全てを許す消えそうな横顔
窓ごしに映って
せつなく手を振ってる
言いたいことも
うまく言えなかった
する訳にはいかない
心の中にたかまってくリズム
もう押さえることはできないさ
しばられたアダムとイブ
走り抜けたボニー＆クライド
大切なあの子の目を
これ以上くもらせないで
Self Control 今までの僕は
Self Control 本当の悲しみ
Self Control 知らずにいたのさ
Self Control 君に会うまでは
Self Control 自由のナイフで
Self Control とらわれた心を
Self Control 粉々にするさ
Self Control バラバラにするさ
見えない明日に迷う時は
ノアの方舟で二人こぎ出してゆく
Self Control ...
今ならきっと間に合うはずだから
悲しみに閉ざした
君のドアをたたくよ
素直なままに流れる その髪に
もう一度この指を触れさせて
しばられたアダムとイブ
走り抜けたボニー＆クライド
大切なあの子の目を
これ以上 くもらせないで
Self Control 教科書は何も
Self Control 教えてはくれない
Self Control 明日のことなど
Self Control 誰もわからない
Self Control おもいきり泣いて
Self Control おもいきり笑って
Self Control 君をとりもどせ
Self Control 夢をとりもどせ
最後のエデンに君の笑顔
あきらめかけてた
僕を励ましていた
Self Control ...
Self Control
Self Control
Self Control
Self Control
Self Control 今までの僕は
Self Control 本当の悲しみ
Self Control 知らずにいたのさ
Self Control 君に会うまでは
Self Control 自由のナイフで
Self Control とらわれた心を
Self Control 粉々にするさ
Self Control バラバラにするさ
Self Control ...
TM NETWORK's song "Self Control" is about the struggle to overcome one's emotions and regain control of their life after losing someone they love. The opening verses discuss the regret and sadness felt after watching someone leave, without being able to chase after them. However, the singer still can't bring themselves to say goodbye and let go. As the song continues, the lyrics discuss the singer's desire to break free from their emotional restraints and take control of their life again. They look to stories of other couples who defied the odds, such as Adam and Eve and Bonnie and Clyde, for inspiration. The repeated call to "Self control" is a reminder to the singer to stay strong and not give up, no matter how hard the journey may be.
Overall, "Self Control" is a powerful song that emphasizes the importance of perseverance and self-discipline. It highlights the emotional turmoil that people go through after losing someone they love, but also suggests that there is always hope for the future.
