Can’t stop Fallin’ in Loveglobe1rank/position
globe’s “Can’t stop Fallin’ in Love” was featured in the 1996 JR SKI SKI commercial.
Following the previous year’s “DEPARTURES,” it was selected as the SKI SKI theme song for the second year in a row, further cementing the image of the group as artists adept at winter songs.
With an electronic sound characteristic of the so-called TK sound and a ballad structure that leverages a mid-tempo beat, KEIKO’s clear, high-toned vocals further accentuate the beauty of the track.
DEPARTURESglobe2rank/position
I’m the same way, but if you spent your youth in the 1990s, you probably remember how Tetsuya Komuro’s songs were like the soundtrack of everyday life, playing everywhere you went.
Back then, as part of the “Komuro Family,” many groups and artists kept delivering massive hits, and among them, globe—the group Komuro himself was in—became hugely popular, releasing one hit after another since their 1995 debut and leaving their mark on Japanese music history.
DEPARTURES, used as the theme song for JR East’s ski trip campaign “JR SKISKI,” was globe’s best-selling single, with an astonishing total of 2.288 million copies sold.
It’s a classic masterpiece where Komuro’s characteristically wistful piano tones blend perfectly with digital beats, and KEIKO’s clear, high-toned voice rings out beautifully over the track.
Many people were surely captivated by the commercial featuring Yutaka Takenouchi and Makiko Esumi as a couple.
Sa Yo Na Raglobe3rank/position
“Sa Yo Na Ra” is the 14th single released in 1998 by globe, a music unit that debuted in 1995.
It was used as the CM song for Nescafé’s Wake-Up Moment and Break-Time Moment.
This track, which feels fresh no matter when you listen to it, makes you want to relax and enjoy it with a cup of coffee.

This song was included on globe’s two-disc original album “maniac,” released in 2006, and was used as the commercial song for Nivea-Kao’s “8×4 kirei.” The lyrics were written by Tetsuya Komuro.
It was slated for release as a single but the plan was canceled.

The 18th single by globe, released in 1999.
It’s a refreshing pop tune that leaves listeners feeling exhilarated; after a flat, steady rap at the start, KEIKO’s sudden high-tone vocals make a striking impression.
Also note the effective use of Auto-Tune—a filter that’s commonplace now but was more novel then.
Tetsuya Komuro’s signature catchy melodies and chord progressions still sound fresh more than 20 years later, making this a hidden gem that once again showcases his talent.

“Tonikaku Mushō ni…” which played as the CM song for Shiseido’s AQUAIR Moist Hair Pack Shampoo, is a track released in 2000 by globe, the unit led by Tetsuya Komuro that enjoyed immense popularity in the late ’90s.
Incidentally, it was their first title written in Japanese characters.
While globe is often associated with ballads, this song is bona fide club-style dance music, offering a distinct shift from their previous direction.
Its just-let-the-rhythm-take-you vibe seems perfect for driving or running.
