This ballad, which closes the album “CAROL ~A DAY IN A GIRL’S LIFE 1991~” released at the end of 1988, is a delicate piece that gently reflects the urban scenery of December.

With images of double-decker buses and a park, the protagonist’s heart quietly carries feelings they wished to convey and a poignant sense of what has been lost.

It was also used as the ending theme for the NTV anime City Hunter 2, and the synthesizer tones that echo on winter nights leave an even deeper impression.

It feels as if it beckons you back to those summer nights of the past, burdened with the ache of unrequited love and the worries unique to youth.

The track appears on their second album, “CHILDHOOD’S END,” released in June 1985, and it’s a piece packed with the sparkle and wistfulness of TM NETWORK’s early days.

It’s a classic you’ll want to turn to when you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of those summer nights back then…

Self ControlTM NETWORK7rank/position

TM NETWORK “Self Control (Towed by the Ark)” Music Video

This is a track by the music unit TM NETWORK, also known for having Tetsuya Komuro—renowned for his work as a music producer—as its leader.

The unit’s hallmark digital sound and sharp vocals stand out in this song as well, conveying a sense of urgency.

A major highlight is that the intro riff becomes the melody of the chorus, and the repeated use of the same words with processed vocals makes the song’s title linger in your ears.
