T-Square (formerly known as The Square), stylized in all-uppercase T-SQUARE, is a Japanese jazz fusion band formed in 1976.[1] They became famous in the late 1970s and early 1980s along with other Japanese jazz bands.[2] They are known for songs such as "Truth", "Japanese Soul Brothers", "Takarajima", "Omens of Love", among others.
During the first years simply The SQUARE was printed on the frontsides of their albums. After the renaming of the band to T-Square the imprint changed to T-SQUARE (all in Capital letters) and their typical logo became a capital letter T printed over a red square. During the years with the changing names of the band the logo got modified several times, reflecting the changing band names such as T-Square alpha (where an α sign got added to the logo), T-Square plus (where the text "plus" was added centered next to the T in smaller letters).[3]
With backing guitarist Yuhji Mikuriya, keyboardist Shiro Sagisu and percussionist Kiyohiko Senba joining in 1978, the band was then named "The Square". It had a semi-generic, disco-type sound. Lead saxophonist Takeshi Itoh adopted the Lyricon as a side instrument. The Square would then begin a tradition of writing one to three songs with the Lyricon in every new album thereafter. As the years progressed, the number of members had dwindled from eight members (two keyboardists, two guitarists, a drummer, a Percussionist, a sax player and a bassist) to five (a drummer, a keyboardist, a guitarist, a sax player and a bassist).
In 2003, T-Square released the album Spirits under their original name "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. They released another album, T Comes Back, that featured new arrangements of some of their best known songs.
In 2010, T-Square released a brand new album, Jikan Ryoko. This album was meant to showcase more of the songwriting abilities of the younger members of the group.[11] In the summer of that same year, T-Square rerecorded some of their older songs and released them in October as an album called Takara no Uta: T-Square plays The Square.[12]
T-Square recorded and released AI Factory to a two-month delay as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.[33] On August 28, 2020, it was announced that T-Square would release a new self-cover album titled Crème de la Crème, part of which includes a hand-picked collection of Keizoh Kawano's best songs. It was also announced that this would be the last time that Kawano would play on T-Square albums and live concerts, though he would continue to work as a composer.[34]
On April 26, 2021, Hirotaka Izumi died suddenly due to acute heart failure.[40] Accordingly, T-Square (under the Classic Lineup of Itoh, Andoh, Noritake, Sutoh, plus Keizoh Kawano and Yudai Satoh on synthesizers), performed concerts of mostly Izumi-penned T-Square songs.[41][42]

In her 74 years on Earth, country music legend Dolly Parton has written over 3,000 songs. Combine her musical prowess with the ubiquitousness of the Netflix holiday movie and you get Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square, a new Christmas musical.
In this opening song, the Angel played by Dolly Parton sits in the square dressed as a less fortunate citizen asking for change. She sings about the real spirit of Christmas as a time for caring, giving, singing, joy and love, while the townsfolk sing along, dance, and do various small-town tasks. Baranski's Regina joins in introducing her own desire to get out of the town.
Lewis plays Margeline, the owner of Le Beauty Shop on the town square and the closest thing Regina has to a friend. In this song, she reveals a little backstory about Regina's past relationship with high school sweetheart Carl and reiterates that what Regina is doing is just mean.
Angel sings Regina a story of the Scottish Lamplighter, based on the poem by Robert Lewis Stevenson, reminding her of why her father built the town and surrounded the square with old fashioned street lamps.

The song, which mixes traditional Chinese styles and instruments with elements of modern Western rock, was adopted by student protesters in Tiananmen as their anthem. Though on their face, the lyrics are about a person being scorned by a lover because he has nothing, they have been interpreted as being about the dispossessed, disillusioned youth.
