the brilliant green (ザ・ブリリアント・グリーン; colloquially known as BuriGuri) is a Japanese alternative rock band from Kyoto that formed in 1995. Their major debut single under Sony, Bye Bye Mr. Mug, was released in 1997. The band are most famous for their singles There will be love there -Ai no Aru Basho- (dorama Love Again's theme song), Tsumetai Hana and Sono Speed de (dorama Over Time theme song). In 2001 The Brilliant Green were named in Time Magazine's '10 Best Bands on Planet Earth' article, alongside Radiohead and U2. All of The Brilliant Green's songs feature lyrics from Kawase Tomoko, while the majority songs (including all single A-sides) were composed by Okuda Shunsaku. Matsui Ryo composed the rest of the songs. Vocalist Kawase Tomoko has also released solo work under the pseudonyms Tommy february6 and Tommy heavenly.
