Koshi & Tak Solo Tours Detailed

Posted by Arthuro

Now, this is really interesting. Koshi's live tour is announced before even his new album is announced? Ridiculous. Also, look at the prices... they've raised them quite a bit considering it's not a major B'z tour. As for Tak Matsumoto's tour, currently there are tour dates available only for Japan. It was also to be expected that Tak is going to perform in small clubs/venues. Shows have also been confirmed for South-east Asia, but no dates were given yet. There's also a possibilty that Tak will perform in Europe and Australia! So let's keep our heads up, folks!

English "SAHARA" Coming?

Posted by

The positive reception to SAHARA may lead to another edition. As per Slash's Twitter account:

Hey, thanks for all the compliments on "Sahara," we might have an english version on the album.

Slash's solo album isn't set for release until next year, but he had previously noted that SAHARA would be a Japan exclusive. The potential English version may not feature vocals by Koshi, however--we'll keep you posted as it develops. Fingers crossed!

Kozue Hayashi Involved in New Koshi Solo Project

Posted by Arthuro

According to one of her latest blog posts, she has recorded a few songs with Koshi Inaba.

Update: The blog posting has been removed to prevent leaking of information, apparently. (hahahahaha)

(Translated from Japanese)

Good evening.
Today, I participated in the recording for Koshi Inaba's new solo album ♪
This time I was playing the first violin, too, and the songs from Koshi's new album are really great!!
The songs I got to hear were all wonderful☆

For those who are wondering why she said "too", she was also involved in the recording of B'z latest album "MAGIC". Namely "MY LONELY TOWN" and "TINY DROPS".
