As we informed you some time ago, TOSHI has been recuperating (resting) at home.
We have had to cancel quite a number of concerts because of his sickness.
However, for some events taken place in Kumamoto, Kyushu in the beginning of this month, WANKU (TOSHI's wife and a duet partner) and MASAYA (TOSHI's producer and composer) substituted for TOSHI.
This movie was taken at one of those events where MASAYA sang "Ai no uta wo utaitai -I want to sing a love song" which MASAYA composed for TOSHI more than 10 years ago.
Before singing, MASAYA said " It has been 15 years since I performed on the stage last time. I would never have sung on the stage again unless TOSHI became sick. I created this song after I talked with TOSHI about his painful childhood memories, etc. This song is about TOSHI wanting to sing a love song, but is hard to sing it. "
(Sorry about a bad translation! We will make better English subtitles for these You Tube movies for English speaking people soon. )
We hope you will enjoy MASAYA's songs, too!
