Three Japanese Singles in 2005! In the year 2005, Toshi released three Japanese smash singles and he is about to complete his follow up Japanese album to "United Flow" due Spring 2006. "a Love Story" was the title track for the Japanese release of "Shall We Dance" staring Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gear. "Club Happiness", the upbeat summer jam was released in August followed by the sweet ballad titled "Kimino Sobani" which is the opening track for a movie "Onaji Tsukiwo Miteiru" starring Yosuke Kubozuka ("Go", "Ping Pong"..), Meisa Kuroki ("Azumi"-play, "Medaka" – tv..) and Edison Chen ("Infernal Affair", Initial D"..). The movie was directed by Kenta Fukasaku ("Battle Royale II"..) and has opened nation wide in November. The song is in sync with beautifully cinematographed film and sets the emotional ending. "Kimino Sobani" is untruthfully is another one of Toshi classic! Lot more to come in the year 2006! Followed by his 11th Japanese original album (besides 3 English albums), Toshi will embark national tour to hit almost 20 cities all over Japan. It has been 3 years since his last Japanese tour in 2003. All the Japanese fans, don’t miss the party!! PEACE!
