BOY MEETA GIRLPrizmmy☆

Released in 2013, this is Prizmmy☆’s seventh single.

The original song was released by TRF in 1994, and Prizmmy☆’s cover stays very close to the original.

Listening to TRF’s songs from that era makes me feel nostalgic for Komuro’s music.

While it has been rearranged, I feel that one hallmark of the Komuro sound is that those tracks from back then still feel like good, modern-sounding music today.

Kirin also has another song by Komuro titled “Gachikora.”

“JINGI: I’ll Be Loved” is Miho Nakayama’s sixth single.

It was released in 1986.

The song also served as the theme for the film “Be-Bop High School: Koko Yotaro Elegy,” in which Miho Nakayama appeared.

The lyrics were written by Takashi Matsumoto.

CRAZY GONNA CRAZYTRF

Released in 1995, this is TRF’s eighth single.

When it comes to Komuro-produced music from the 1990s, it’s no exaggeration to say TRF defined the era, churning out explosive hits one after another.

The unit name TRF is said to derive from “TK Rave Factory,” a name given by Avex’s Masato Matsuura.

This song epitomizes the peak of Komuro’s music era and was also TRF’s best-selling CD single.

TOO SHY SHY BOY!Mizuki Arisa

“TOO SHY SHY BOY!”, Alisa Mizuki’s biggest hit, which recorded sales of over 360,000 copies, was released in 1992.

It is also one of Tetsuya Komuro’s favorite songs, and he later released a self-cover of it.
