Tetsuya Komuro, a popular musician and producer of a number of gold disks, will soon marry a vocalist in his group "Kiss Destination," sources close to the musician said Wednesday.

Komuro, 42, and his prospective bride, ASAMI, 26, whose real name is Asami Yoshida, have dated since 1998, when the group was formed, the sources said.

Komuro has produced music for such young pop singers as Namie Amuro and Tomomi Kahara.

He was also the composer of a theme song for the Group of Eight summit in Okinawa Prefecture last summer, which was sung by Amuro at the meeting's opening reception party.

It will be Komuro's second marriage.
