This man is garbage lol, goodbye TK you won't be missed. His songs weren't bad but Ayu will work with someone else and it will be better for sure.
Ayu posted a clip of her singing A song is born with KEIKO with several #, like #KEIKO #TK #legend, is she supporting KEIKO because she was cheated on while sick or is she supporting TK because he's retiring? Messy.

Maybe both. Lol

Ayu has always admired KEIKO so I think she's showing her support for her.

Personal life shoud be separated from stage. The fact (is it fact? I didn't follow his news) that TK cheated didn't erase all his work. I don't like his music but I believe he had great inflience at his time and that can't be forgotten.
Before that twit with Keiko, ayu posted crossroad lyrics and that is one of the TK songs. I think she didn't join any team. She can't just immidiately stop to respect one of her composers.

I didn't know about that...

He produced my favorite Ayu song "Last angel", I don't understand why he's retiring but I respect his decision.

He was caught cheating on his wife KEIKO while she was sick with one of the nurses.

So he is retiring but some people (including me) think he was already planning to retire and is just using this as a way to go out because historically when men cheat in Japan it doesn't end their careers.

Disappointed that he cheated on Keiko and is retiring. I was always hoping Globe would make a come back.

For TA members : Can't we all spam the TA staff to f*cking get these promised english translation of her TA posts done? It's been 3 months since they stopped and i wonder if we'll ever get them.

Unfortunately I don't think it will make a difference but I guess it's worth a try :think

I won’t miss TK.
His throwback sound was cute for Love Songs and for A ONE but other than that the songs that he produced just sounded really dated -which I get is the whole point, but not one album after another!

Please bring back Daishi Dance or something instead.

The article from Kyodo News mentioned “top selling artist including Namie Amuro” well I know Namie is in the spotlight now but you guys come one Ayumi Hamasaki is still the best solo singer in Japan come on xD

So regarding Timmy’s tweet before about having scandal in Japan, I wonder if it is something to do with this??

Honestly, Im quite surprised that Ayu cared bout this matter and posted something on her IG, maybe because she is really close to them and had work with of them,they did gteat songs with Ayu hmm

^ Yeah but well TK was known for being Namie "mentor" during her early days as a solo singer and was the one who composed her first very big hits so it's understandable that she's mentioned. No one even knows he composed for ayu since she wasn't relevant 2010 onwards.

Ofc Timmy's tweet is about it, he can't keep his mouth shut when he needs to lol

Did Timmy delete the tweet? What exactly did he say?

This is from the social media thread but:
“You are probably right. Given the list of songs that TK has personally produced for Ayu that Keiko had no part in, she easily could have shared a video of her performing one of those songs. But instead she chose to share the one piece of work she did together with Keiko. At least Ayu got a good head on her shoulders regarding this matter. I’m kind of disgusted with all the support and sentiment for TK by most Japanese on twitter.”

Just my thoughts.

I’m so disappointed globe won’t be making a comeback anymore. I heard TK had always been a mess since the beginning of time lol not just because of the 2009 scandal. Not surprised but I kinda feel bad for Keiko.

Yeesh, I saw this and thought about Ayu's future tracks. Maybe there'll be some vault things they pull out.

I want Crea back for her 20th anniversary album. She composed her greatest and most beautiful hits. Why did she stop composing? She's so talented.

It was in his FB. He said that having an affair ruins your career and Japan must grow up.

He needs to grow up, IMO. Its not his place to. comment on a culture that isn't his in such a way.

What happend with the freedom of speech? %)
