Template:Infobox musical artist 2 globe is a dance-oriented Japanese pop band, formed in 1995 by legendary producer and songwriter Tetsuya Komuro. Originally consisting of Komuro, Keiko Yamada and Marc Panther, the group has been another triumph in a long line of successes associated with Komuro, with its singles consistently hitting the charts even to the present day. In late 2002 YOSHIKI, ex-keyboardist from X JAPAN, joined the group, but he left the band about a year later.
Their debut album, globe, sold over 4 million copies, and the band was awarded the Japanese Record Industry's highest honor for their single "wanna Be A Dreammaker" with a Nihon Record Taishō. Komuro also mentioned there will be some collaboration work with other artists with the artist title of globe featuring, and globe extreme for collaborations with YOSHIKI.
