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. More details about these can be found here.
