they first debuted as trf during some point in 1993 and through the peroid of 1994-1995 released five singles (produced by Tetsuya Komuro) under Avex, each reportedly selling over 1 million copies. In 1996, they changed their name to TRF (written in all-capitals) upon releasing the single Hey! Ladies & Gentlemen.
In early 2006, they put out a new single (Where to begin) and album (Life-e-Motions) for the first time in almost six years, to a moderate amount of success.

はしゃいですれ違ってく
制服の女の子達
街が着替えるたびに 揺らぐ気詩ち
それでも誰にだって
譲れないモノがあるよね
同じ色を着ていても
愛する人にはきっと
I will be free 愛さなくちゃ
未来のどんな私も
眩しく 拡がるこの空に抱かれ
涙も甘い日々も あやまちも夢も
明日の 優しさに変わるよ
あの胸のふくらみに 隠し持ってる
華やかなたくらみも
いつの日か現実になる
世界が嘘をついたって
信じる夢ならずっと
色褪せずに 待っていてくれるよ
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
I will be free 愛さなくちゃ
未来のどんな私も
眩しく 拡がるこの空に抱かれ
涙も甘い日々も あやまちも夢も
明日の 優しさに変わるよ
I'm on my way 許さなくちゃ
過去のダメな私も
自由に 変わってゆく雲のかたち
靴音鳴らすたびに
めくるめく出逢い
とれもが 大切な出来事
The lyrics of TRF's "BE FREE" encourage people to live their lives to the fullest, to be true to themselves, and to not let anyone or anything hold them back. The song starts by describing a cityscape, with traffic lights blinking and schoolgirls running around with excitement. The changing scene around them sways their emotions, but everyone has something that they cannot give up. Even among people wearing the same clothes, everyone has their own unique shine that is seen by those they love. The singer declares that they will be free by loving themselves, and no matter what they go through in life, they will be embraced by the beautiful, vast sky.
The song also talks about having hidden desires, which may seem glamorous and unattainable, but dreams that are believed in will always wait without fading. The singer is on their way to being free and encourages others to join them on this journey. Past mistakes may hold people back, but the freedom to change and grow is as beautiful and unrestricted as the changing shapes of clouds in the sky. Every moment of life is significant and precious, and the sound of footsteps brings with it exciting and important encounters.
