TM Network is a Japanese rock/new wave/pop musical band, made up by Tetsuya Komuro (keyboardist), Takashi Utsunomiya (vocalist) and Naoto Kine (guitarist).
[5] Vocalist Takashi Utsunomiya and guitarist and songwriter Naoto Kine were originally in a band together called Speedway during their school days.
The name is commonly thought to stand for "Time Machine Network", supported by a statement by Tetsuya Komuro on a 1984 appearance on the show LiveG.
Several musicians have supported them at their live shows as backing bands such as Tak Matsumoto (B'z), Daisuke Asakura (Access), and more.
Afterwards they signed with an independent label, Rojam Entertainment, which released the band's ninth album, Major Turn-Round in 2000.
In 2004 the band would release their tenth album Easy Listening, which showed Komuro's interest in trance music.
Once Komuro had finished touring extensively with globe he got Kine and Utsunomiya back together to make their eleventh album SPEEDWAY in 2007.
The band continued to tour regularly, but Komuro's withdrawal from public appearances in 2018 following revelations of infidelity to his wife, globe singer Keiko Yamada, once again put an end to the group's activities.
