This decision not only concerns globe and TM NETWORK, but also numerous songs produced by Tetsuya Komuro for other artists, Namie Amuro at the top of the list..

The various radio stations of the archipelago, following the initiative of Tôkyô FM, and the karaoke UGA of the USEN company, have all decided to ban from their airtime the productions of Tetsuya Komuro groups (as well as artists from the « TK family », whose songs were written and composed by TK).

So broadcasting is over for globe and TK NETWORK, but also for a significant part of TRF’s works and of Namie Amuro’s songs before 2001... The impact that this story has on the TK family and their current career is still unknown but the latter have been very careful not to show any kind of support to the producer so far, probably hoping that their emancipation would help them keeping in good terms with the media. For example, Namie Amuro merely sent a "no comment" through her talent agency, Vision Factory.

All in all, a big part of the 806 songs written by Komuro is some of the major 90s avex hits, led by Namie Amuro’s CAN YOU CELEBRATE which is from now on boycotted as well as 19 other million sold singles...
