It has been decided that TM NETWORK’s documentary film “TM NETWORK Carry on the Memories -Three Individualities and One Thought-” will be released in theaters in the spring of 2025. At the same time, the main visual and logo for this work have also been released.
TM NETWORK debuted on April 21, 1984 with the single “Friday Lion.” In 1987, the ending theme song “Get Wild” for the anime “City Hunter” made it into the top 10 of the Oricon single chart for the first time, cementing their popularity. “Get Wild” is still being covered by numerous artists on music programs, etc., and in October 2024, it became a hot topic when it exceeded 100 million cumulative plays on the “Oricon Weekly Streaming Ranking.”
In 2022, the tour, which will be the prelude to the 40th anniversary project, will hold Days 1 to 9 with the title “FANKS intelligence Days”, which includes the popular name of TM NETWORK fans. As a commemorative tour leading up to 2024, which will be the 40th anniversary year, they will continue to hold three national tours from Days 10 to 40 of “DEVOTION,” “STAND 3 FINAL,” and “YONMARU,” under the banner of “FANKS intelligence Days.” A total of 40 episodes attracted a total of 170,000 viewers and attracted many fans.
This work closely follows 31 tours from Days 10 to 40, and is a documentary film that condenses 300 hours of their journey.
It has been decided that Tetsuya Komuro will serve as general director and music director for the film adaptation. Komuro created 10 soundtrack songs.
We also received a comment from Komuro about his thoughts on the tour with TM NETWORK and his thoughts as a member of the staff in charge of production and music.
■Tetsuya Komuro comment
◇My thoughts on the tour
The 40th anniversary, which I thought was the reaching point.
In the blink of an eye, the arena tour has come to an end for half a year, and we are still spending every day experiencing music.
At that time, 300 hours of footage arrived that reminded me of the true face of the 40th Project.
The concept of 40 tours full of smiles and music, from assembly to rehearsals, song selection, casual monologues that are as close to private as possible throughout the journey, conversations, communication with staff, the many thoughts of FANKS, etc.
Once again, a work is a continuous accumulation of things.
Everyone, please join us in carrying on the memories!TM NETWORK
◇As a member of the movie staff
Making movie soundtracks is one of my favorite jobs, so I had fun creating the songs while also participating in editing and creating the story for the documentary, while also showing off-line footage.
Centering around TM NETWORK’s Unplugged Trilogy, there are many conversations between the three of them, even just casual conversations, that are unique to their private lives, so I composed the song so that the words remain dramatic.
There are 10 soundtrack songs alone.
Please get excited from the opening and join us for our road movie.General direction/music director Tetsuya Komuro
