DEPARTURESglobe1rank/position
The beautiful melodies crafted by Tetsuya Komuro, who colored the music scene of the Heisei era, intertwine with KEIKO’s translucent vocals, brilliantly capturing the chill of winter air and the emotions of bittersweet love.
It’s globe’s fourth single, released in January 1996.

It’s also perfect for those who want to belt it out at karaoke!

When I start to feel winter in the air, this is the TK sound from back then that I can’t help but listen to.
Led by Tetsuya Komuro, globe released this as their seventh single in October 1996.
Following “DEPARTURES,” it was used in JR East’s “JR ski ski” commercial and became a massive hit, selling over 1.3 million copies in total.
The lyrics, which portray an earnest adult romance that draws two people together beyond even morals and rules, strike a chord alongside the beautiful melody.
The world woven by KEIKO’s powerful vocals and Marc Panther’s rap shines with the brilliance that defined the ’90s.
FACEglobe3rank/position
Produced by Tetsuya Komuro, this signature globe track brilliantly fuses sophisticated electronic sounds with KEIKO’s expressively rich vocals.
Familiar as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Their Marriages,” it powerfully resonates with listeners as it portrays one’s inner self and ways of facing others.
Released in January 1997, it sold over 1.3 million copies, making it globe’s best-selling single after “DEPARTURES.” It’s also included on the album “FACES PLACES,” which became a massive hit with over 3 million copies sold.
For many who discovered the song alongside the drama during their youth, it’s the perfect classic to sing a bit coolly at karaoke while reminiscing about those days.
FACES PLACESglobe4rank/position
This is globe’s ninth single overall, released on March 5, 1997.
Globe is well known as Tetsuya Komuro’s unit, and among Komuro’s song catalog—famed for its love of high notes—this track is said to be the highest-pitched of all.
It uses singer KEIKO’s maximum chest-voice range without any falsetto, making it a song she reportedly cannot perform unless she is in perfect condition.
Re-listening to it to write this piece, I was overwhelmed by the ferocious high-tone vocals.
I can only imagine how intense the recording session must have been.
Feel Like danceglobe5rank/position
For people who grew up in the ’90s or are in their 40s now, Tetsuya Komuro is probably an inseparable presence.
Not only as a producer but also as a member himself, he helped globe become one of the defining groups of the 1990s.
They had numerous hit songs, but many people likely remember their debut single released in 1995, “Feel Like dance.” Speaking of globe, they were so popular that even a parody act called “Softball globe” (Nanshiki globe) became a hit, right? (lol)
wanna Be A Dreammakerglobe6rank/position
Released in 1998 as globe’s 13th single.
The song was used in the NISSEKI “Ena Card” campaign commercial, and its music video was created around the theme of “a nightmare KEIKO had.” It topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and at the 40th Japan Record Awards, globe won their first Grand Prize with this song.
FREEDOMglobe7rank/position
Although some time has passed since its release, it still sounds forward‑looking.
It’s a track by the music unit globe, which dominated the Japanese scene in the ’90s, released in 1996 as their fifth single and featured in a KDDI commercial.
The fusion of rock and electronic music is a hallmark of composer Tetsuya Komuro’s approach.
The socially conscious lyrics, which probe global affairs through the theme of “freedom,” are also striking.
Sa Yo Na Raglobe8rank/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.
Wanderin’ Destinyglobe9rank/position
This is the 11th single by globe, a three-member music unit formed around the much-anticipated music producer Tetsuya Komuro, which has released numerous mega-hit songs.
The track was used as the theme song for the TV drama “Aoi Tori,” and its lyrics—written to follow the drama’s storyline—powerfully portray a man and woman who long to be together but cannot.
The chorus melody, which conveys a profound, almost maddening kind of love, is likely to deeply move listeners who have gone through a similar experience.
With arrangements that draw you in and create a distinctive sense of weightless drift, it’s a love song perfect for autumn.
Anytime smokin’ cigaretteglobe10rank/position

The lyrics—expressing a yearning that lingers in the heart and remains in someone’s memory even from afar—leave a lasting impression.
Centered on the theme of a “zoomed-in” everyday life, the song celebrates individualism while wrapping the atmosphere in a slightly wistful melody.
It’s an undying classic that enhances any space, whether you’re singing solo or jamming with close friends.
