About the TK SONGS RESPECT PROJECT Tetsuya Komuro began his career as an artist with the debut of TM NETWORK in 1984. He later established himself as a songwriter, composer, arranger, and producer, creating countless hit songs and masterpieces across multiple roles. Widely recognized as a uniquely gifted and influential figure in Japanese music history, Komuro’s body of work is known as “TK SONGS.” In 2023, “TK SONGS RESPECT NIGHT” launched as a DJ party uniting DJs, singers, dancers, and audiences under the theme of “Love, Gratitude, and Respect” for TK SONGS.

The second chapter of this initiative is the globe 30th “Love again” Remix Contest, continuing the celebration of Komuro’s music and legacy.
