Biography
TRF (an abbreviation of TK Rave Factory) is a Japanese pop band. Its members are DJ Koo, Sam, Etsu, Yu-ki and Chiharu.
History
The band debuted as "trf" in 1993. From 1994 to 1995, the band released five singles produced by Tetsuya Komuro, each selling over a million copies under the Avex record label. In 1995, their song "Overnight Sensation: Jidai wa Anata ni Yudaneteru" received a Japan Record Award.
The following year, the band changed their name to an all-capital "TRF" with their single "Hey! Ladies & Gentlemen".
Yu-ki did voice acting for the children's animation movie Elmer's Adventure: My Father's Dragon, for which she sang the opening theme song as well. She also performed the opening song to the 2006 Tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Kabuto as well as several variants of it.
Chiharu worked on the choreography for J-pop singer Shizuka Kudō, and appeared in a drama as herself.
Sam was married to popstar and protégé of Tetsuya Komuro, Namie Amuro, in 1997, who was three months pregnant with his child at the time, but the couple were divorced in 2002, due to irreconcilable differences. Amuro had full custody of their son, Haruto Maruyama.
The song "Lights and Any More" was used as opening theme of the anime Wangan Midnight, and their song Silence Whispers was used as the second ending theme for the anime Black Jack 21. A remix of their song "Boy Meets GirlBOY MEETS GIRLSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 4 tracks1BOY MEETS GIRL (RADIO ON AIR MIX)4:482BOY MEETS GIRL (DANCE 12″ MIX)6:533BOY MEETS GIRL (TRIBAL MIX “JAPANESE TRADITIONAL”)4:554BOY MEETS GIRL (TWILIGHT MIX “TRIBUTE TO AYRTON SENNA”)4:55" was used in 2000 as the first season ending theme of the anime UFO Baby, and in 2013 it was covered by the group Prizmmy as the opening theme for the series Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live.
TRF's 20th anniversary was in February 2013. They announced that they would be releasing something new every month, starting from November 2012.
