The Journey of TMG

Formed in 2004 by Tak Matsumoto, TMG quickly soared to success, topping Japan’s Oricon National Chart with their debut album TMG I. Their hit single “Oh Japan – Our Time Is Now” became a television theme sensation, and they embarked on a sold-out tour across Japan, including a legendary performance at Nippon Budokan.

Blending Eastern and Western rock elements, TMG captivated fans and critics alike. Now, with the release of TMG II, the band is ready to make waves once again in the global rock scene.

Album Highlights

TMG II showcases Matsumoto’s signature guitar brilliance, Martin’s powerful vocals, and Blades’ energetic basslines. Featuring special guest appearances by Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses) on drums and Yukihide “YT” Takiyama (B’z) on guitar and arrangements, the album delivers a fresh and evolved sound.

The standout track, “Eternal Flames”, brings a unique collaboration with Japanese metal sensations BABYMETAL, blending Dance-Metal with the rock powerhouse trio for a truly electrifying experience.
