    TRF (Tetsuya Komuro Rave Factory) is a Japanese pop group. Its members are rapper DJ Koo, lead vocalist Yu-ki, and dancers Chiharu, Etsu, and Sam.

    History

    The band debuted as "trf" in the year 1993. During the period of 1994 to 1995, the band released 5 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 has also done voice acting for a children's animation movie Elmer's Adventure: My Father's Dragon, for which she sang the opening theme song as well. She has also performed the opening song to the 2006 Tokusatsu series Kamen Rider Kabuto as well as several variants to it.

    Chiharu has worked on the choreography for J-Pop singer Shizuka Kudō, and has appeared in a drama as herself.

    Sam was married to popstar and TK protege Amuro Namie 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 has full custody of their son, Haruto.
