In 2004, Tak formed the "Tak Matsumoto Group" with Eric Martin on vocal, Jack Blades on bass, and Brian Tichy on drums, forging ahead with his own brand of musical genius. Tak played guitar, produced the album and wrote songs while Eric and Jack wrote lyrics. On March, the single "OH JAPAN ～OUR TIME IS NOW～", was released. The album TMG I that made Tak go back and forth to US for the recording, was released on June 23.
