I downloaded a song some time ago from a blog. It was named Toshi(from X Japan)-Are you still there (to hide). As long as I understood, it was like a memorial song to hide. It's a slow ballad and im 90% sure it is Toshi. I have searched the net abit but I havent found much info on Toshi's solo discography and I wonder where and when was it recorded and if it is on any CD. Any ideas?
I'll try to upload it somewhere in the nearest future also.
-
I haven't heard about the song you are talking about, but in regards to Toshi's solo career, I know he has released atleast one album "Sacrifice". I read somewhere that he has released quite a few solo albums.
And it would be great if you could post the song you are talking about.
-
Well I did some more research and I found out that the song is probably Kimi Wa Inai Ka. I don't know much about Japanese so I can't say what's the english translation and if it is a memorial song tho hide.
I also uploaded it here (http://www.hypno.pri.ee/music1/XJapan/Toshi%20-%20Are%20You%20Still%20There.mp3)

Hi there. Yes, "Kimi wa inai ka?" means something like "Are you there?" I love that song very much, I think it's a beautiful piece.
This is Toshi's Official Website (in English): http://www.naturallyart.net/ , you can find full discography there, among other things (interview, lyrics, downloads, etc).
I'm not much into Toshi, btw, I'm just way too obsessed with the whole X to not know about Toshi as well. He was part of it in the end.
-
It's actually an officially released 'single.' It's released in Japanese in 1998 togehter with the song 'Mori to Kaze no Tabibito' which in my opinion is just as good (if not better) than the title song. (Of course not so much with the emotional value.)

It's pretty much in the beginning of his Iyashi-kei style of singing that it's released, and the lyrics are by MASAYA. It also appears on Toshi's 2004 double disc album as well as on "Toward the Way." And LIVE! where he sings the song in english. It's followed by one of his routines of telling small stories. Mostly in elderly homes, hospitals and other venues alike.

Thnkx for the song. I like some Toshi's song its nice and soothing. Its too bad though. Has anyone seen his latest pictures?? ITs so sad to look at it. Like he was never part of the X or somthin...
-
I haven't, can I somewhere?
I have always loved Toshi's voice, im soo envyous :) (I also sing the tenor in bands/choiors :P )

He looked like an innocent man :( Like I said looking at the pics, it looked like he was never part of the X
-
He looks happy, so I can't hate him.
I like some of his songs! Like Paradise :) and Made in heaven
-
Yea, i saw that photos a few months a go, and only imagine that he was a member of X Japan with that hairs and clothes i started crying :(
-
hey, which one is Toshi!!! i don't see it anywhere.

not really. he looks old...

The man's almost 40 years old and from the looks of it performing for seniors and children at a seniors center. He'd look kinda silly with 12 inch hair and decked out in leather.
Though I admit it, the thought of seeing a picture of him dressed in leather with 12 inch hair performing at a seniors center warms my heart.

The seniors would get a nice little heart attack :D:D
-
yeah... i'm so happy looking Toshi in those pic... he look very happy.... :D
does anyone know that Toshi already have child or not?
ps:sorry my bad english :oops:
-
He look so happy ;___;
I found video... Look at him. He is having good time, but.. Still.. That isn't The REAL Toshi..
Look at this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qnc1MHeGIzc&mode=related&search=)
-
yeah, happy...but...
-
Yoshide:
yeah, happy...but...
but what?
-
just he's so different...
-
yeah... but no matter he look like now he is still our Toshi the vocalist of X JAPAN
-
But i think he has forgotten himself...
-
But i think he has forgotten himself...
why?
-
because of masaya..
-
meh
-
I think people who love X for so logn will always compare..
But people who love X even more will understand Toshi's movement:D
i agree with you... :D
-
But can you still believe that he is the same man. I mean, he said himself that Masaya was brainwashing him. Can you honestly look at him and say: "That is Toshi from X Japan"
Just look some X videos and you'll noticed that :"That is the REAL Toshi."
I can be very wrong now, but it's killing me inside to look at him like that. Toshi sould scream like crazy, and be next to Yoshiki and wear lether pants.. :D That is the truth. Say what you say, but i'll keep my opinion.
X was his life, and it's very sad that isn't his life anymore. I hope he find the real himself somewhere inside him and handle the arguments between him and Yoshiki, as well with the others.
Anyway, i hate Masaya, and i'll always will. And i love Toshi, and i always will no mater what. He could be even fans-eating-monster and still i'll love him. And he always will have part of my heart.

I love what you said... :D
-
PantherNoire, also say "hi" for the forum community please :D
And as I see it hurting quite a lot, I'd even be somewhat honoured by having a world famous rock star hitting ME in the face :P
If you get the chance also make some pics and post them here :)
-
(Hi, dianne, too!) :D
hi to... :D
-
May i ask you what are you going to ask to him? And like Hypno said i'll be honoured if Toshi had chance to punch me ... *lol* But i think he's the most kindest person in this planet ^___^
-
I wish you luck! :D But hey, would you really print my letter and give it to him?
-
Good luck Panthere :D
Maybe you could get a camera man beside you so we could watch Toshi hitting you ^_^
-
so i'm wrong....Toshi not happy with his live.... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
-
yeah you right.... :cry:
-
PS: If it would get those two idiots talking to each other again, I wouldn't mind at all if Toshi gave me a black eye or whatever.
haha xDDD me too. i acquiesce if he wants to do that to me and they can stop the dispute.
-
yeah!! :o :D
i would not mind either if Toshi was going to beat me up, or kill me!!
. . hope taht those two idiots will be friends again:!::!: :D :cry: :(
-

. . hope taht those two idiots will be friends again:!: :!: :!: :D :cry: :o
i hope that too...... hope they will be meet and be a friends and the other thing.... too
-
do you guys have Toshi's present look picture?
-
i think someone had posted pictures of him. but few months ago pictures. i have one, but it's from article so need to scan it first.
-
does any of you know where to get the lyric translation for that song?? cant find it..
-
i'm hearing the song and, in my ears, so sounds like Toshi XD. And i do also think its a memorial song for hide.
-
what song are you talking about?
-
The memorial song to hide.. are you still there.. would be great if i could get the lyric translation in english so i understtod what hee sang:D
-
well .. people here are saying the soo.. thats why i wanted the translation.. i didnt know what the song was named but the verson i got of it was named Hide's last song.. so i guess i kinda linked it togheter.. so isnt it?? dosnt seems like im the only one beliving that.. but but...
-
Well people named it like that online.. so you cannot just assume that it is the truth, though I can understand it in your (and most peoples) case that you believe what it says. Maybe it is.. maybe it isn't.
And I think there is an english version of the song live from one of Toshi's albums.
-
Toshi seemed to make up with Yoshiki recently. :P
And Toshi commented latest Japanese magazine that he will go to America to meet Yoshiki.
I believe that Toshi come to his senses because of Yoshiki :)

ironically. in the Philippine language. Masaya means happiness... idk but i think its a japanese pronunciation of "messiah" or something. idk.

I know this is quite old post but as I read it, I somehow felt strong need to express my opinion:
No, you don't love him. You love an abstract, idealized image of someone, who he pretended to be. And this is quite selfish, to have someone as a mind "toy" and be angry with him when he doesn't fullfill your expectations.
Maybe I'm naive, but to love someone truly means to do it without any conditions. To let the person go if he/she wants. Even if it contains "only" healing concerts for old people or children without parents and no stuff like - let me quote you again: "Toshi should scream like crazy, and be next to Yoshiki and wear lether pants.. Very Happy"
Even if Masaya was the manipulator, where is the difference between you and him in this case?
By the way, another expression for "brainwashing" there is "growing up".
But no, he left you for ten years without new X songs, so he is automatically considered to be a retard. I get it.
