T-Square (band)

The Square (1976–1988) In 1976, the Square started as a small jazz fusion group in Meiji University with a very basic line-up, made of bassist Yuhji Nakamura, guitarist Masahiro Andoh, pianist Jun Hakamazuka and drummer Shunichi Harada. According to Masahiro Andoh, the band's name was inspired by Madison Square Garden. Hakamazuka was replaced by Junko Miyagi on piano. Meanwhile, in the Nihon University of the Arts, saxophonist Takeshi Itoh and Drummer Michael S. Kawai played in a few other college bands together. When those disbanded, Kawai became fast friends with Andoh, replacing Harada on drums within the Square, and Takeshi Itoh made many guest appearances with the band, officially joining on saxophone and flutes, in 1977. With backing guitarist Yuhji Mikuriya, auxiliary-keyboardist Shiro Sagisu, and percussionist Kiyohiko Senba joining in 1978, the band was signed to CBS/Sony and released their first studio album, Lucky Summer Lady. – for a mass-produced Yamaha WX7, which he would further swap out for an EWI instead. In an attempt to not confuse the Western Audience with a name that sounds too close to "The Squares", "Truth" was released in the United States and Canada through Portrait Records, a sister imprint of Columbia and Epic Records and a subsidiary of Sony Records. While this album's Japanese release still refers to the band as "the Square", Portrait Records' reprint would be the first to refer to them as "T-Square", and included the logo of a T and a Red Square later used in their albums. Their first performance in the United States was at the Cat Club in New York City in December 1987 T-Square (1988–2000) Their 1988 album, Yes, No was released in Japan only, with no Western reprint, and thus still referred to them as "the Square", This is the first concert to use the now-established T-Square logo onstage. In 1989, they released their first studio album, in no uncertain terms, now as "T-SQUARE", Wave.) as well as the T-Square arrangement of the song, called "Knight's Song", from Blue in Red. At the end of 1998, Tadashi Namba was replaced by Keiji Matsumoto. The new line-up of Miyazaki, Noritake, Sutoh, Matsumoto and Andoh was kept until the group's brief disbandment in mid-2000. Unit era (2000–2004) In mid-2000, T-Square were split into two separate groups. The rhythm section of Sutoh, Noritake and Matsumoto performed as "Trio the Square". With Takahiro Miyazaki leaving his role as a sax player, Takeshi Itoh performed and recorded with Masahiro Andoh for the first time in a decade. The songs they wrote became their album, Friendship. This album wasn't released under Sony Records proper, but instead, under Village Records, a Sony Music imprint whose focus is on Jazz-Fusion. The album was recorded with Session players, but the Friendship Live performance had ex long-term drummer, Hiroyuki Noritake, along with support bassist Kiyoshi Murakami and keyboardist Keizoh Kawano, the latter of whom started in the band as a supporting member, eventually to become the longest tenured keyboardist over 20 years with T-Square. In 2001, T-Square formed a side project that pursued hard rock sounds, T-Square Plus. Fence of Defense guitarist Kenji Kitajima, former Seikima-II bassist Shunsuke "Xenon" Ishikawa and session keyboardist Takehiro Kawabe joined them briefly in 2002. After that, the band no longer used session musicians. In 2003, T-Square released the album Spirits under their original name of "the Square", and retained some of their original members (partly due to T-Square's 25th anniversary that year) and kept their newcomer, Keizoh Kawano. The line-up was Itoh, Noritake, Sutoh, Kawano, Izumi and Andoh. T-Square's original drummer, Michael S. Kawai, returned as a behind-the-scenes percussionist and producer from 2004 to 2008. In order to promote their 30th anniversary, the band formed T-Square Super Band that combined their former and (at the time) current members. The line-up was Andoh, Itoh, Miyazaki, Tanaka, Sutoh, Izumi, Kawano, Noritake, and Bandoh. the group added even more former members to form T-Square Super Special Band and played on Yaon de Asobu for their 30th anniversary show. This show was released in February 2009 as The Square ~ T-Square since 1978: 30th Anniversary Festival. Their 2009 album Discoveries was sold with a DVD which chronicled T-Square performing and rehearsing in 2008. T-Square recorded another T-Square Plays the Square album, released in October 2011, much like the year prior. At the end of 2011, they performed a new song, "Bird of Wonder", which was released with their 2012 album Wings. They retained all members of the Super Band from 2008, including percussionist Kiyohiko Semba and excluding pianist Hirotaka Izumi. T-Square's 35th Anniversary Festival show (recorded at the Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall on October 13, 2013, and the Festival Hall on October 15, 2013) was released on Blu-ray and DVD in May 2014. Nearly a month later, their album was released, Next. In 2017, T-Square performed two separate concerts at Blue Note Tokyo under the name "The Square Reunion". The first one included their 1982–1985 lineup of Masahiro Andoh, Takeshi Itoh, Tohru Hasebe, Toyoyouki Tanaka, and Hirotaka Izumi with Keizoh Kawano playing backing synth; Kawano and Andoh leave (2019–2021) T-Square had planned to record their next album Horizon in Los Angeles, but on February 6, 2019, their keyboardist Keizoh Kawano was hospitalized due to an intracerebral hemorrhage which paralyzed the left side of his body. Due to the abrupt changes, the T-Square members were not free to travel to the U.S. to stay and record the album, so Philippe Saisse, who hadn't played with T-Square since the T-Square and Friends album Miss You in New York from 1995, but played on Satoshi Bandoh's album Step by Step! from 2016, offered to finish the keyboard parts. With both Shirai and Kawano providing synthesizer parts, the band recorded and released AI Factory to a two-month delay as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. At some point during the end of 2020, T-Square's albums released prior to 2015 became available to all streaming services. On February 1, 2021, Masahiro Andoh announced that he would leave T-Square after releasing their upcoming album (not yet named at the time) and completing their 2021 tour, wishing to continue activities as a solo guitarist. At the same time, after Masahiro Andoh's departure, Takeshi Itoh and Satoshi Bandoh announced they would form T-Square Alpha. T-Square released the album Fly! Fly! Fly! in April 2021, On April 26, 2021, Hirotaka Izumi died suddenly due to acute heart failure. Accordingly, T-Square performed concerts of mostly Izumi-penned T-Square songs that month. They would continue to hold Izumi memorial concerts throughout 2022 until 2024. T-Square toured to honor Masahiro Andoh's farewell in two concerts. T-Square's 2021 Year-End Special live shows saw Keiji Matsumoto perform for the first time since 2000. On May 18, 2022, T-Square's 49th Album, Wish was released. This album was also awarded the RIAJ's Golden Disc Award 2023 for Best Instrumental Album. Masato Honda and Takahiro Miyazaki performed together in September 2022. With T-Square's "Year End" shows in December 2022, Masato Honda performed with the T-Square Alpha Lineup, herein referred to as T-Square Alpha X. This new formation indicated the name change also with the X in its name referring to the last letter in the term "Double Sax", and they used this name to promote their 45th anniversary. On January 18, 2023, T-Square released a digital album of their live concert from December 31, 2021, This album also contains the song "Rooms with a View", the last T-Square song that Hirotaka Izumi wrote and participated in. The T-Square Alpha X Lineup performed on a Blue Note Tokyo special event titled Jazz Fusion Summit 2023 on July 17. T-Square's 45th Anniversary Concert, held on October 21, 2023, in the Tokyo International Forum Hall A, included Kazumi Watanabe, Yuji Toriyama, the Nishiarai Junior High School Brass Band Club, and the Masato Honda Big Band Station as special guest performers. This concert also included Masato Honda, who, unlike Takeshi Itoh and Takahiro Miyazaki, hadn't participated in the anniversary concerts in 2003, 2008, 2013, and 2018. T-Square's 2023 Year-End Special live shows saw Kenshin Sugimura play with them for the first time. Jazz Fusion Summit 2024, which built on the success of the 2023 edition, saw Masato Honda and Kiyohiko Semba guest-perform with T-Square. New T-Square (2023–present) After their 45th anniversary concert, in an attempt to prolong the activities of the band, the T-Square Fans and Staff Facebook page made a post announcing that, in order to create more music and potentially celebrate a 50th anniversary and beyond, they were opening online auditions, seeking new band members and/or composers. The deadline was December 31, 2023. Guitarist Shuya Kameyama and keyboardist Yuichi Hasegawa were elected as finalists. T-Square's audition was commemorated with two concerts at the Marunouchi Cotton Club in August 2024. T-Square's 2024 Year-End Special live shows saw Shuya Kameyama replace Kazuma Sotozono at Chicken George. T-Square and the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra performed together in March 2025. This joint concert, titled "Classics & Harmony", continued in 2026. T-Square's 51st studio album Turn the Page was released on June 4, 2025. Their former keyboardist, Keizoh Kawano, helped produce this album. It is the first T-Square album in which Takeshi Itoh played all his Windsynth parts on a NuRad instead of an EWI, though he already used the new instrument in several live performances prior to the release of the album. T-Square's 2025 Year-End Special live shows saw Takeshi Itoh not perform on its first day at Chicken George. == Influence ==

T-Square's music, as well as the jazz fusion genre as a whole, heavily influenced video game music in the 1980s and 1990s. Most notably, Nintendo composer Koji Kondo would take inspiration from T-Square's "Sister Marian" from the 1984 album Adventures when composing "Ground Theme" for the 1985 platformer game Super Mario Bros. Many other video game series would later be rumored to have taken inspiration from T-Square music, including Street Fighter, Sonic the Hedgehog, and more. Members of T-Square have also worked on video game music directly: Masahiro Andoh and Keizoh Kawano composed the soundtrack of Arc the Lad; Andoh and other T-Square members recorded songs for the Gran Turismo series for many years, including "Moon Over The Castle", the series' main theme; and in the 2010s and 2020s, T-Square members worked on the soundtracks for Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart World. ==Members==

The Square Reunion/T-Square Family In order to differentiate from the current/ongoing group known as "T-Square" (who are officially Itoh, Bandoh, Tanaka, Hasegawa, and Kameyama as of 2025), Since September 2000 (beginning, specifically, with the live album Moment – Memorial Live at Chicken George), the band has occasionally held throwback concerts, going under their old name of "the Square" (with the word Reunion added in 2017), with their classic lineups from the 80s and 90s, performing almost-exclusively their songs from that era. Most-recently, this idea has expanded to where other members, who joined and left after 1989, appear as part of these concerts. Thus, the name "T-Square Family" refers to any random lineup of those who were formerly officially in the band, or were at the very least supporting members, and are appearing for one-off concerts. AnMi2/AnMitsuru AnMi2, named after Anmitsu, are a guitar duo comprising the first two guitarists of T-Square, Masahiro Andoh and Yuhji Mikuriya. For their 10th anniversary, the duo performed with fellow ex-T-Square Bassist Mitsuru Sutoh and was renamed "AnMitsuru". Trio the Square/The Masato Honda Band/Voice of Elements This trio first appeared in the T-Square albums Sweet & Gentle in 1999 and T-SQUARE in 2000 with keyboardist Keiji Matsumoto, drummer Hiroyuki Noritake and bassist Mitsuru Sutoh as Trio the Square. They became a standalone group around the time Andoh initially left T-Square, resulting in the dissolution of the band form. Later in 2000, Hiroyuki Noritake and Keiji Matsumoto, along with bassist Tomohito Aoki and guitarist Jun Kajiwara, would become the backing band of former T-Square saxophonist, Masato Honda. The backing band was put on hold in 2005, then fully deactivated in early mid-2006 to make way for Voice of Elements, which also featured T-Square alumni Hiroyuki Noritake, Mitsuru Sutoh and Keiji Matsumoto. continued their occasional performances since 2007. Both Keiji Matsumoto and Masato Honda are credited as guest performers on the 2022 T-Square album, "WISH", Also, T-Square bassist Mitsuru Sutoh (who would leave T-Square in their brief disbandment two years later) and keyboardist Keiji Matsumoto (who would join T-Square a few months later) recorded with them at the end of 1998. Noro and Korekata appeared in T-Square's 35th Anniversary concert in 2013. They released two studio albums, "Asian Street Style" (2004) and "Abracadabra" (2005). They also released a live album in 2007. Hirokuni Korekata also created a new band named Rocket Jam with bassist Shingo Tanaka and drummer Satoshi Bandoh in 2013. Casiopea vs. the Square Although "Casiopea vs. the Square" was performed as a one-off event in 2003 (the DVD and the CD have different audio sources, suggesting that there may have been 2 shows and Kiyohiko Semba, former percussionist of the Square, played on one of the songs from Casiopea's 1993 album, "Dramatic". A year later, both groups played an arrangement of The Beatles' "Get Back" on a Japanese Broadcast. 3 years after that, Casiopea, T-Square and Jimsaku played at Tokyo Jam 1997, with the same song. In 2003, both groups played (with some of the players replaced) at the event called Casiopea vs. the Square. Both groups still have somewhat of an alliance, seeing as Casiopea's 1993 – 1997 drummer, Noriaki Kumagai and former T-Square bassist, Mitsuru Sutoh are both in TRIX. And Sax player Takeshi Itoh performed with Casiopea's Keyboardist, Minoru Mukaiya in 2006. Synchronized DNA Drummers Hiroyuki Noritake of T-Square and Akira Jimbo of Casiopea formed a duo in 2003, after the "Casiopea vs. the Square" concert. They were later featured in Casiopea's 2005 album "Signal", the aforementioned band's last album before their hiatus the year after. Akasaka Trio Guitarist Masahiro Andoh, Drummer Hiroyuki Noritake and Bassist Mitsuru Sutoh, all former T-Square members from Classic Lineups of the mid-80s to 2000, formed the Akasaka Trio in 2022, following Andoh's exit from T-Square. As supporting members for other artists After the dissolution of Trio the Square, Mitsuru Sutoh and Keiji Matsumoto would later become backing musicians for Japanese a cappella pop group, 'The Gospellers'. Sutoh also plays for TRIX (since that band's formation in 2004), led by Noriaki Kumagai (Casiopea drummer from 1993 – 1996). Drummer Hiroyuki Noritake, keyboardist Keizoh Kawano, and bassist Ko Shimizu (from Naniwa Express) would record as supporting members for Japanese fusion/rock guitarist Kumi Adachi in 2007–2008. T-Square's current bassist Shingo Tanaka is a former member of the 39's/the Thank You's (39 in Japanese can be pronounced as , which resembles Thank You). The 39's were a band that accompanied concerts performed by Vocaloids, specifically the "39's Giving Day" concert series (it being another pun, this time on "Thanksgiving Day"), although the concerts themselves wouldn't necessarily be held on said day. During the final 39's Giving Day Concert in March 2012, the band were also accompanied by Takahiro Miyazaki. ==Discography==
