TM NETWORK

Tm Network (ティーエム・ネットワーク) (stylized TM NETWORK) was a Japanese pop/rock band. It consisted of Tetsuya Komuro (Keyboardist), Takashi Utsunomiya (Vocalist) and Naoto Kine (Guitarist). They were original members of a band call Speedway during their school days. The three of them formed TM NETWORK. Their name is commonly thought to stand for “Time Machine Network”. However, on September 6th 2006 on an episode of Trivia no Izumi claimed that TM actually stands for "Tama", the district from Tokyo they all came from. While Trivia no Izumi claims that TM stands for "Tama" Tetsuya Komuro himself as early as 1984 on the show LiveG, has said that the TM stands for Time Machine. They changed their name to TMN in 1990, and broke up in 1994. They had reunited under their old name of TM NETWORK in 1999. TM Network exists since 1983, their debut was however on 21.04.1984.
