Today on J-MELO, the show talked about the Heisei era coming to end and some songs that were influential in the era (1990's, 2000's, 2010's). The show briefly recognized Tsunku as one of the most influential music producers of the era in 1999.

I finally found this clip again, of Tsunku, KAN, and Kurosawa Kenichi performing "Nowhere Man". Right after finding it I learned that Kurosawa has since passed away from a brain tumor. That, plus knowing about Tsunku's own issues with cancer and his voice, and how excited I was just to find it, made watching it again (after years) a very different emotional experience.
