His career started as a keyboardist for Speedway in 1979. In 1984, he build up TM Network with Takashi Utsunomiya and Naoto Kine. A year later, in 1985, his first solo work was the soundtrack "Vampire Hunter D" for the anime Vampire Hunter D, and his band, TM Network, did the closing credits song "Your Song". He subsequently composed other soundtracks such as Heaven and Earth, Seven days War.
Moreover in 1989/1990, Komuro had played with Warren Cuccurullo as a solo singer. In 1991, he collaborated with X Japan's Yoshiki as the V2.
TM Network changed its name to TMN in 1990. TMN disbanded in 1994, then in 1999 they reunited under their old name of TM Network, and remain active to this day.
However by the early 1990s Komuro was spending much of his time writing and producing many other musicians and bands. He was also an early pioneer of dance music in Japan, and came to stardom in the 1990s as producer with a long string of hits with artists such as TRF (TK Rave Factory), Tomomi Kahala, Namie Amuro, Ami Suzuki, hitomi, Ryoko Shinohara and H Jungle with t. In 1994, he composed the musical score to the Japanese anime film Street Fighter II, based on the Capcom video game. This score was removed from the US release of the film.
He was mainly helped in this task by the mix engineers Pete Hammond and Dave Ford. Both were working for PWL, which was the home of the British producing team Stock Aitken Waterman. Not only that, "TK" is also credited for the rise to fame of Daisuke Asakura, a popular Japanese composer, keyboardist and music producer who began his major musical career as a backup keyboardist for TM Network. Asakura is reported to view Komuro as his "Sensei" or "Teacher".
In 1997, he started his overseas career with the remix of the theme music of the action movie "Speed 2: Cruise Control". Komuro is perhaps best known in the west for his collaboration with French keyboardist Jean Michel Jarre from 1998 to 2001. The duet wrote the theme song for the 1998 FIFA World Cup Together Now as well as several other tracks and remixes. He and Jean-Michel also performed a concert on beaches in Okinawa on January 1st, 2001.
TK also released albums as a solo singer or musician and was involved in the bands globe, Kiss Destination and Gaball. He has been married three times, currently he is married Keiko Yamada the lead singer of his band globe. Prior to his marriage to Yamada in 2002 his personal life became the center of controversy. He filed for divorce with wife at the time Yoshida Asami whom were only married for 10 months. The couple also had a child and he was ordered to pay ¥1 billion yen in alimony.
Recently, he distributes some club music online under the name of "DJ TK".
SHOUT
Tetsuya Komuro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Martine Sitbonのボーダーシャツ
Chipieのブラックレザージャケット
Katharine Hamnettのアイリング
Boschのライトに照らされた
長く眩しい足で
環状線を横切る
君はいつもよりWild face
夜を引き裂いている
Shout!! Shout!! 叫んでる
気の利かないシグナルを睨んでる
Shout!! Shout!!
Maseratiから覗く視線や
MercedesからのCar telephone
心も体も誘惑の
蜘蛛の巣の様なInvitation
どこを見つめているのか
どこにたどり着くのか
直ぐ側にきてまとわりつく様な
奴等には分からない
Shout!! Shout!! 必要ないのさ
欲しいのは見えない明日
Shout!! 君が叫ぶのは
明日という名のあいつに
気がついて欲しいから
Shout!! Shout it out loud
Shout!! Shout!! 必要ないのさ
欲しいのは見えない明日
Shout!! 君が叫ぶのは
明日という名のあいつに
気がついて欲しいから
夜明けの冷たいアスファルトと
温かい朝のシャワータイム
君がたどり着く場所は
どちらでも構わないのさ
そんな君はとても妖しげな
アンバランスなバランス
行き着く場所に辿り着く前に
僕に出会っておくれ
今夜はShout!! あいつにShout!!
奴等にShout!! 気のすむまでShout!
Shout!! Shout it out loud
In the lyrics of Tetsuya Komuro's song "SHOUT," the singer describes a late-night scene where the singer is dressed in specific designer clothing – a border shirt from Martine Sitbon, a black leather jacket from Chipie, and eye ring from Katharine Hamnett. The imagery evokes a sense of glamour and sophistication, as the singer crosses the circular line illuminated by Bosch lights with their dazzling long legs. The lyrics suggest a sense of rebellion and wildness, indicated by the singer's "Wild face" and their urge to shout and tear through the night.
The mention of luxury cars like Maserati and Mercedes, along with a car telephone, adds to the ambiance of wealth and allure in the setting. The singer highlights the temptations faced by the singer, describing them as a tangled invitation reminiscent of a spider's web. The singer's gaze and destination remain uncertain, hinting at a sense of being lost amidst the seductive distractions of the night. The singer's shout is portrayed as a plea to be noticed by someone named "tomorrow," symbolizing a desire for recognition and acknowledgment of their existence beyond the superficial.
The lyrics continue to emphasize the singer's yearning for an invisible tomorrow rather than material desires. The cold asphalt of dawn and the warmth of a morning shower symbolize the contrasts and choices faced by the singer as they navigate through life. The singer's willingness to arrive at any destination reflects their free-spirited and enigmatic nature, characterized by an "unbalanced balance." The singer urges the singer to encounter them before reaching their final destination, suggesting a sense of urgency and importance in their connection.
As the song reaches its climax, the repeated calls for shouting express a need for release and expression, whether directed towards an enigmatic figure named "tomorrow" or the nameless "they" that surround the singer. The repeated exhortation to shout loudly signifies a defiance against the confines of societal expectations and a yearning to be heard and recognized. Overall, the lyrics of "SHOUT" by Tetsuya Komuro convey themes of rebellion, uncertainty, temptation, and the pursuit of a deeper connection amidst the flashy and alluring backdrop of a nighttime adventure.

初めて行ったコンサートです。この曲あんまり好きではないけど、イントロが大好き。ゾクゾクさせてくれます。オペラナイトなんかも同じ感じ。冬だったせいか、きらきら光るイルミネーションと交錯して”金色の夢”見せてもらった感じです。
