The band's performance at the Roxy marked their first live album as T-Square, and in 1989, they released their first studio album under that name, Wave. The band would also appear alongside Ottottrio (with guitarist Hirokuni Korekata) and Casiopea in The Super Fusion that same year. In 1990, saxophonist Masato Honda debuted with them as a backing saxophonist on the album T-Square Live (featuring F-1 Grand Prix Theme). By the end of 1990, Takeshi Itoh left the group to pursue a solo career in the US, and Honda replaced him in 1991. Honda also composed the opening track from T-Square's New-S album, "Megalith". After the release of the Blue in Red album in 1997, Honda left the group to pursue his solo career. Takahiro Miyazaki would replace him. At the same time, Hirotaka Izumi left T-Square and was replaced by Tadashi Namba. Namba played keyboards on the theme song from Gran Turismo, "Moon Over The Castle" (from Masahiro's solo album Andy's, released in 1996) as well as the T-Square arrangement of the song, called "Knight's Song", from Blue in Red. The group and all former and (at the time) current members played at Yaon de Asobu for their 20th anniversary that same year. This is one of the last T-Square performances in which Masato Honda was involved (unlike Miyazaki and Itoh, Honda didn't participate in the anniversary concerts in 2003, 2008, 2013, and 2018). In 1999, Tadashi Namba was replaced by Keiji Matsumoto. The new line-up of Miyazaki, Noritake, Sutoh, Matsumoto and Andoh was kept until the group's brief disbandment in mid-2000.
T Square Truth 20th Anniversary
In 2018, T-Square released two albums, City Coaster in April and It's a Wonderful Life! in November. "It's a Wonderful Life!" was also the name of their 40th anniversary concert. This particular concert included most of the usual members of a "T-Square Super Band". They also performed "Takarajima" with the Nishiarai Junior High School Brass Band Club. This concert also included Daisaku Kume, who hadn't played with T-Square since their 20th anniversary in 1998.
During the epilogue, the narrator compares Patchy to Blackbeard and says that Patchy is not much of a pirate compared to him. He then says he'll see the kids on the 20th anniversary, 10 years from the episode they'd just seen, which is the time between this and "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout."

On the 20th anniversary of the 1989 Chinese Student Movement, we, the survivors of the massacre and the organizers, participants, researchers and supporters of the movement, are urging you again - as we did in 1995 - to correct the false reporting and editing in your film, The Gate of Heavenly Peace.
On the 20th anniversary remembering all of the Chinese students' and citizens' sacrifices, it has been 14 years since we first raised our concerns with you, but we have seen no action taken to correct misrepresentations in The Gate of Heavenly Peace. Again, we who took the risk and live in exile today because of it, urge you to post on your website this brief response and defense of our attempt to bring freedom and democracy to China, and of those students and citizens who risked or sacrificed their life and future to cry for a better future of China.
There's an online bingo card for people with cancer that makes me laugh every time I see it. I read over each square and consider the friends, family and random strangers on the street who've offered unhelpful advice, "ghosted" me or just made statements that hurt me while making themselves feel better. The truth is that, except on rare occasions, I'm used to receiving pity stares, being told I should go vegan, or fast, or exercise more, or cut out wine, and sugar, and on and on. 2ff7e9595c
