So, I heard that Toshi did a cover of 'Hotel California' by The Eagles back in the early 90's.
I really want to hear his version of it, but it's just about impossible to find. Well, for me anyway. There were two videos on YouTube, but they were removed due to copyright issues. I really have no idea where to go from here, and if anyone can help me find it I will greatly appreciate it.

I guess it depends on what country we're in.  This appears to be the same as lakeisle posted but it may be video, too.  I get an error on both of them that it's blocked in my country, USA, by the same company on both videos.


Sometimes our tears blinded the love
We lost out dreams along the way
But I never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates
Never thought you'd leave me alone

You're right. It's not blocked in my country. - South Korea

Can you see the one I posted, lakeisle? Is mine an actual video, with audio too?

It works for me in Hungary. Wow, it is a really good rendition. His voice is spotlessly clear. His pronunciation is weird in some places but if you don't know the lyrics of the song, you won't even notice. LOL. :D

I'm in the US too, so I can't see it either.
It may be a stretch, but maybe it's on dailymotion? Wouldn't hurt to look, tbh.

I searched google for it and couldn't find it but I did find a lot of other things Toshi has done - just not that.  If you find it on dailymotion or vimeo or any other site, please post it! :)

This also doesn't work for you guys?

alternatively, I downloaded it in mp3 and shot it up to mega: https://mega.nz/#!C8ozzbZB!I4xhXuCC1j294QG9qUwWU95w22P2d9pSB9lev1v2320

No, it sure doesn't.  This is the message "This video contains content from UMPG Publishing, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."

Downloading your mp3 now. Thank you so much, Teemeah  :)

It’s just a black screen. But it is played well.

Hotel California is such an unappreciative song to cover IMO (maybe all of Don Henley's songs are? Such a unique voice)....but at least Toshi doesn't ruin it. But the accent... so cool that he really made big improvements with that recently! And I love those early clips, like little time capsules.
