A roundup of songs produced by Tetsuya Komuro: Introducing classic hits old and new all at once (51–60)

Baby baby babyDOS

Released in 1996, this was dos’s debut single.

The group came from an audition program in which Tetsuya Komuro also appeared, and the unit name “dos” stands for Dance of Sound.

The track often appeared in cosmetics tie-ins, and is characterized by its calm sound and clear vocals.

One of the dancers, Eiji Kabashima—now widely known as KABA-chan, a TV personality and choreographer—has said that at the time it was difficult to hide being effeminate.

The sky at that momentyashiki takajin

“Sono Toki no Sora,” released in 2010, is Takajin Yashiki’s 29th single.

Since Yashiki passed away after this single was released, it is also known as his final single.

The lyrics were written by Yasushi Akimoto.

EZ DO DANCEKetsumeishi

Released in 2013, this track is included on TRF’s tribute album and was covered and arranged by Ketsumeishi.

Ketsumeishi, who moved to avex along with their agency transfer, covered a signature Komuro Music/TRL song.

It is characterized by a modern arrangement added to the original track from that era.

Diamonds Don’t Get Hurt — Tokyo Performance Doll
Diamonds don’t get hurt.Toukyou Pafōmansu Dōru

“Diamond wa Kizutsukanai” by Tokyo Performance Doll—a group that Ryoko Shinohara was also a member of—is truly a quintessential Tetsuya Komuro track.

This upbeat, high-energy song by a female group perfectly reflects the era in which it was released.

Released in 1998, this is Ami Suzuki’s fourth single.

She also comes from the audition show that Tetsuya Komuro appeared on, and she’s an artist with ties to TM NETWORK.

Its composition—featuring guitar sounds and other elements uncommon in Komuro’s music—is distinctive, likely influenced by Koji Kubo, Komuro’s protégé from the TM NETWORK era, who co-arranged the track with him.
