WOW, another!?
he's releasing stuff like crazy these days.

Edit: It's a single, again!

I know!! I hope I'll be able to hear it.

I actually think this might be another mini album, containing more than one song, with 20 different versions. The product code is HWCT-0006. If you look at all the other discs he has released with the HWCT code, then you will find all of them have at least five different songs on them. The other singles, such as Earth in the Dark and 大切なもの come with the code HWTS.

Looking at it, he has  いつまでも, 変わらない真実 (recent single containing Itsumademo and the new duet, ありがとうのうた (the song Arigatou no uta originally released on the HW-CH music site as a Toshi with T-Gaia track) and also the title song, 地球まだありますか (sung at the recent concerts, included on the Toshi and Wanku night DVD), all yet to be released on an album. So that is four songs already, definately reaching up there with his using number of tracks.

Well, that's my guess. Either way, I enjoy all of Toshi's solo music and am eager to get hold of a new album, (buying all the singles that he releases is a bit too much for me ><)

You are correct, it's definately going to be another mini album, it says on Toshi's official myspace.

休養中のTOSHIが新作ミニアルバム緊急リリース

ストレスによる肋間神経痛のためライブ活動を休止することを発表したTOSHIが、12月19日にミニアルバム「地球まだありますか」を緊急リリースする。

自身の訴訟をめぐる誹謗中傷により、肋間神経痛を発症し休養に入ったTOSHI。今回発売が決定した新作は、自然破壊が進む現代に美しい生き方を選ぶことの大切さをTOSHIが歌い上げた“ヒーリングシンフォニー”の決定版となっている。

なお、TOSHIの休養により全国各地で予定されているイベントは軒並み中止が決定。新作リリース日の12月19日に品川ステラボールで行われるクリスマスライブについても、現在のところTOSHIの出演は未定となっている。TOSHIが出演できない場合はビデオコンサート、およびプロデューサーの MASAYAがTOSHI with T-EARTHのボーカルを務める形式での開催を予定しているとのこと。

MASAYAはクリスマスコンサートについて「クソジジイだけどTOSHIのかわりに、一生懸命やるからよろしく」とコメント。果たして当日のボーカルはTOSHIが務めるのかMASAYAが務めるのか、気になるところだ（写真は「地球まだありますか」ジャケット）。

On the website there is a picture of the supposed album cover.

This roughly translates as information for the release date of the new album.

And i don't know if this belongs in this thread but Toshi has postponed all his small performances around Japan and that on the Christmas concert in December 19 Masaya might be the singer for T-EARTH.

Masaya singing ?! interesting, definately interesting.

Another new album to look forward to, thats good. I guess there is no tracklist yet? Anyway, i'll keep an eye on the website

[shane140]

As mC said: I think the tracklist will be made up of his latest singles, with one new song that has yet to be released, but that's only a guess, as that's the way he did it earlier this year.

  The last song featured on this new trailer for the upcoming DVDs is the new one if you're interested.

TOSHI, of X-JAPAN fame, has announced the release of a new solo mini-album titled Chikyuu mada arimasu ka, as well as a pause in his live performances schedule.

TOSHI has recently been diagnosed with intercostal neuralgia, a kind of stress that causes pain from the spinal cord to the spaces between the ribs, causing him to stop all his live activities. As for the CD, it has been described as a "healing symphony", in which he sings about making life beautiful in midst of the destruction of nature that currently affects the planet.

In other news, the releases of the two upcoming live DVDs by each of his projects TOSHI with T-EARTH and TOSHI & WANKU are still scheduled to go on sale as planned.

For those of you interested, a preview of Toshi's new song is up for hearing on Masaya's page of artists he produces. The preview not only contains the chorus like the DVD trailer, but also has a small section of a verse. Sounds.....good....

ThanX for the link, it sounds pretty good yeah.

[MIHO]

Oh Toshi Even when he's incapable of performing, he still releases new stuff.

Yoshiki could seriously learn a thing or two from that, haha!

It sounds very good, by the way. I'm looking forward to it!

Well, the tracklist has been posted on Toshi's music page.....and to my utmost dissipointment....this is not a mini album but another single.....I am very confused about HW's CD codes now....anyway, the "album" contains two songs, each with different versions (also english versions)....sigh....

With the karaoke version, you must picture images of nature and the lyrics in your mind!

[shane140]

Oh, a single, damn, well, at least it's something. I'm liking the fact there are English versions too.

The new single has been posted on HW-CH for download and it, of course, includes samples to listen to. I have to say that I am very happy that the track they have been playing on the official site and the one he preformed at the recent concerts, was only the piano version.

Both songs sound great and it is nice to see english versions of both of them included too (along with the normal band, orchestral and instrumental versions.) I hope that they include both songs on his next full album, which I hope won't be too far away.

P.S. I reckon he should keep putting karaoke versions on his CDs, I can't think of anything more impressive than going to karaoke with friends and pulling off one of his songs
