WOWOW『TM NETWORK How Do You Crash It?』
Broadcast/distribution schedule in March
“Restart” of TM NETWORK, which took action during the coronavirus pandemic. The overwhelming performance of the live performance without an audience, which was streamed three times from 2021 to 2022, will be revived.
The coronavirus pandemic that has hit the entertainment world since 2020 has affected the activities of many artists. Under such circumstances, TM NETWORK distributed the audienceless live series “How Do You Crash It?” every two months on October 9, 2021, December 11, and February 12, 2022. The three members’ performance in a space resembling a spaceship was presented with a bold rearrangement, demonstrating the process of evolution and letting us know that TM NETWORK is still alive and well, even as the future of the entertainment scene remains uncertain.
From 2014 to 2015, TM NETWORK promoted their “30th anniversary” with a tour and live show entitled “TM NETWORK 30th 1984~”, but their activities had been frozen since this project, and for them, “How Do You Crash It” ?” was truly a reboot. Featuring the first new song of the 2020s, “How Crash?”, hit numbers from across the era were re-performed in a surprising manner, making a big difference in an era that felt constricted. A video work containing these three live performances without an audience will be broadcast and distributed.

We bring you the final day of additional performances from TM NETWORK’s first live tour in seven years. This tour, which has been long-awaited by FANKS, received such a response that all performances were sold out on the same day, and additional performances were quickly decided. The stage, which was constructed based on the tour concept of “collecting intelligence from FANKS by TM NETWORK,” aggressively presents not only their representative songs but also a new image of TM NETWORK. Its innovativeness is also reflected in the opening song, “Please Heal The World,” which was released for limited distribution using NFT in the spring of the same year, as announced in advance, and shows the uniqueness of TM NETWORK, which is always pioneering the “era.” It was nothing but. The last day of the tour, which started as Day 1, was Day 9. Let’s enjoy the performance filled with their motivation as they explore new forms of musical expression.

As the number of performances carried over from the tour that resumed in 2022 for the first time in seven years reached Day 34, they showed a different world view from their previous tours.

The song, which begins with the lyrics “A new beginning,” has given FANKS a new meaning after 30 years, and once again shows the depth of the work.
