The full album from the solo project "TMG," formed by Tak Matsumoto based on years of planning and led in 2004, is finally complete. Following the first single "OH JAPAN ~OUR TIME IS NOW~" (released March 31, 2004, theme song for TV ASAHI NETWORK SPORTS 2004), the album features vocals by Eric Martin (formerly of Mr. Big), bass and vocals by Jack Blades (of Night Ranger), and drums by Brian Tichy, who has played in bands such as PRIDE&GLORY (formed by Zakk Wylde of Ozzy Osbourne) and Slash's Snakepit (Slash of Guns N' Roses). Additionally, Cindy Blackman, a female drummer known for her sophisticated style and impressive techniques in jazz, rock, and funk, who also supported Lenny Kravitz on his works and live performances, participates in this album recording.
The 14 collaborative tracks by members who have mastered both Japanese and American rock range from delicate and innovative numbers that exquisitely incorporate a "Japanese" atmosphere, to exciting, high-energy tunes, and catchy rock numbers that epitomize popularity. This work allows listeners to reconfirm Tak Matsumoto's appeal as a guitarist and melody maker. Furthermore, from August 10, 2004, a nationwide live tour "Dodge The Bullet" will be held in 8 locations, including 17 performances, with an additional performance at Zepp Tokyo on August 10, and culminating at the Budokan on September 7. The tour members are Tak Matsumoto, Eric Martin, Jack Blades, and Chris Frazier, who joins as the new drummer.
This first album from TMG, featuring an incredibly luxurious lineup for fans of hard rock, especially from the late 80s to early 90s—Tak Matsumoto (guitarist & composer for B'z), Eric Martin (vocalist for Mr. Big), Jack Blades (bassist for Night Ranger), and Brian Tichy (drummer who participated in Stevie Salas Color Code)—is packed with classic hard rock numbers that will satisfy user needs 100%. The correct way to enjoy it is by headbanging and raising your fists in excitement. (Tomoyuki Mori)
