TM NETWORK's Music Passion Comes Alive in Radio Show 'TM NETWORK Sukeru Radio' — Second Volume of Its eBook Series Released

Ritto Music Co., Ltd., a company within the Impress Group that handles music-related media businesses (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Daisuke Matsumoto), released the eBook titled 'TM NETWORK Sukeru Radio Book Vol.2' on June 29, 2026.

"Sukeru Radio" is a media-mix project by TM NETWORK centered around the theme "Listen, Watch, Read."

The "Listen" component is the interfm radio program "TM NETWORK Sukeru Radio," while the "Read" component is the eBook series "TM NETWORK Sukeru Radio Book," which compiles the trio's conversations from the show into book form.

Launched on April 1, 2026, and broadcast every Wednesday at 10:30 PM, the radio program features the members sharing heartfelt stories about the musical roots that shaped them—such as "an irreplaceable album," "a song that deeply inspired them," and "a track that moved them"—drawing on their journey since their 1984 debut, during which they have consistently pioneered Japan's music scene with their avant-garde sound.

In 'TM NETWORK Sukeru Radio Book Vol.2,' released on June 29, Tetsuya Komuro focuses on Duran Duran's "The Reflex (Dance Mix)," Toshinori Kondo selects Suzi Quatro's "Can the Can," and Takashi Utsunomiya highlights Yuming's "Message of Rouge." Each member passionately and deeply examines their chosen track, weaving in personal memories from the era. This eBook series is planned to run for a total of nine volumes.

Beyond the radio content, this eBook also includes selected articles from Ritto Music's magazines related to the featured artists. This volume features a report from the April 1989 issue of Keyboard Magazine, covering Duran Duran's Japan concert with Tetsuya Komuro as a guest—be sure to check it out.

The "Watch" component, "MIRU" version, is the program "TM NETWORK Sukeru Radio WOWOW ver.," broadcast on WOWOW and available via WOWOW On Demand. It condenses three radio episodes into one video format and includes exclusive after-talk segments recorded post-broadcast. A total of nine episodes are scheduled for broadcast and streaming.
