ToshI is back! He has a new official website (toshi-samuraijapan.com) and announced the release of a new mini album called "Bushi Samurai JAPAN" (武士 Samurai JAPAN). The CD will include four (4) new songs written and produced by ToshI himself: "Airport" - a song which he already mentioned before, "Amaoto" (雨音, transl: sound of rain), "Bushi JAPAN", and "Haru no ibuki" (春の息吹, transl.: Breath of spring). You can listen to some minutes from two of those songs on his website.
PATA and SUGIZO participated as guest musicians on the album.
However, it will be a limited release of only 2000 copies which can be preordered directly on the website from February 9th at 19:00 (Japan time) on - in 'first come, first serve'-manner. Though, it looks like only japanese residents will have the opportunity to participate. So overseas fans gotta show some more patience.
About the concert on February 24th, there is nothing new, yet - only, PATA, HEATH, SUGIZO and YOSHIKI are now confirmed as guest musicians. So we gotta check back for further information.
