TM Network is a Japanese rock/new wave/pop musical band, made up by Tetsuya Komuro (keyboardist), Takashi Utsunomiya (vocalist) and Naoto Kine (guitarist). They became popular in Japan as the "futuristic pop songs with synthesizer" after the release of their 1987 single "Get Wild".[2]

Tetsuya Komuro[3] became a famous producer of dance-oriented J-pop singers in 1990s, and as such they are considered a prototype of the J-pop genre.[4] However, their 2000 album Major Turn-Round was influenced by progressive rock.[5]
