In the early 1990s, the most prosperous region in the Asian music scene was Japan in addition to Hong Kong, and many of the most popular singers and bands in Japan were apprentices of Tetsuya Komuro, so Tetsuya Komuro was also named the godfather of Japanese music, such as Namie Amuro, TRF, Tomomi Wahhara, globe, Yami Suzuki and so on.
With the growing fame, Tetsuya Komuro has harvested potential seedlings in Asia through talent shows, including many artists in Hong Kong and Taiwan who were Tetsuya Komuro's apprentices, today we will take stock of the current situation of Tetsuya Komuro's apprentices in Hong Kong and Taiwan:
