Thanks for the explanation...even if only half of the allegations are true, that’s pretty terrible and I hope she’s doing well now.

Interesting point, and I’m always for hearing both sides in a situation, the more info the better. However. I don’t know how common these sham marriages are or the state of their relationship, but I think we’re operating under the assumption it’s a real marriage/relationship, so what he did is really disgusting, and as far as I could tell, he said it’s true, or at least hasn't denied it. Plus, doing it with her nurse does suggest he is still involved in Keiko’s life, so it’s still pretty messed up whether they’re still married or not in my opinion. If it were not true, wouldn’t he try to save what little is left of his reputation? It’s true that we dont know all the details, but what we DO know is pretty bad and he hasn’t denied it.

Whatever it was, it's pretty bad that dating the nurse became something public, as this is a public humilliation to Keiko... But there's no way to know what was the real state of their relationship at that point...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Kahara Tomomi’s her stage name, which he had her use to have the same initials as him.

And actually she released music on ORUMOK Records, which is Komuro backwards... Their relationship was completely woven into her Cinderella story, and I think at one time he may have liked her, but I don’t think it was as ever as deep as she thought, and their breakup led her down a really bad spiral. As he already got her into drugs, she fell into that more, and missed performances and recordings, and eventually her labels dropped her and she went to rehab. She’s better now, and doing well.

But basically, she was his protege... until she wasn’t.

I’ve heard terrible rumors about them though. Where he’d get her high and parade her around in her disheveled state.

I came here thinking there was a release of the cdl and I was served with juicy gossips about TK ... I did enjoy the dramatic posts thought.

Same, didn't he ended his carreer because he was cheating with someone else or my brain made up?

TK clearly is an asshole in his personal life. It would be one thing if it was just one incidence, but basically, since the 90s there have been tons of issues. Awful human being, but phenomenal producer and musician. It so often seems in creative fields that the most talented people are also the biggest jerks.

It's not just creative fields. The people with power over the livelihood of others can get away with being as awful as they want because they know others can't cross them without ruining their own lives/careers. Big CEOs, the mega-rich, royalty. Of course they're not all awful, but the ones that are awful are free to be as bad as they want.

[Chris85]

Nothing will change that he composed a ton of amazing songs.

[rainbow_smile]

^ this is exactly why I have a problem with the whole "horrible personality doesn't erase talent/impact/art:" mentality: this way of thinking gives such people a platform to be bad

[Chibi-Chan]

^definitely agree

[aliceshields]

Yeah, agreed!

[kaled kalil]

I don't know if I agree with this, because people like to cope with this movement until their "fave" is doing something bad as well, and you can see how many excuses people can come with. Mariah Carey was accused to be a predator, even with Ayumi we saw some random rumors with her dating her dancer, but no one talks about because it's their divas and YES QWEEN GET THAT YOUNG D.

I understand that there are levels to everything, and I'm not saying TK is a good person (I don't even like much of his works since most of them are very dated to today's standards), but people like to believe in things they like to believe. And we're basically taking about him being unfaithful, which I think most people here knows a person who cheated in their relationship in your personal life.

[Katsuyuki012]

The thing with Ayu and Pey was talked about a lot and she definitely got criticism for it.

[surrealA]

-teens "acoustic ver."
-MC
-until that Day…

This is the setlist. They fixed the sound and obviousy filtered her vocals. It sounds AMAZING! They used a different angle during snowy kiss but you could still see the fall, though not as obvious. They also showed the little tribute to Kenji Murata, to whom she seemingly dedicated her SAKURA performance. Here: http://imgur.com/a/x9UDJsB

Hi!

I feel so blessed because I was there and in the edited version there is a Close Up of me in MY ALL! :O

Would love to see the full replay but unfortunately I don't have a Baidu account so if someone has another link I'll be very thankful!
