toe - LONELINESS WILL SHINE 

To learners of Japanese, rest assured that the Japanese in toe's songs cannot be heard even by native Japanese speakers. The vocalist's voice sounds as if trying not to sound like any language.

Toe is back ladies and gentlemen

Hi Toe, I have been following you all my life. I am now 27 years old, trying to make a living as a salesperson. Today, my relationship with the person I promised to be with for the rest of my life has ended. The reality hasn't sunk in, which prompted me to listen to Sonny Boy and Latest Number on repeat. This is very timely. Loneliness will shine - but we will persevere!

As a drummer, I'm so excited to have more of Takahashi Kashikura in my life

My life makes sense again

Being alone is no such terrible thing. Being lonely is something else, a sadness in being unable to connect with others. How painfully human that is, yet still beautiful. A desire to be with people, to express your humanity. Loneliness will shine.

Twelve year after i know this band , when I listen the song , toe sound it always brings me back to the first time listening “Goodbye” .

TOE PLEASE DO A WORLD TOUR AND COME TO THE UK 🇬🇧 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Goodbye has been fueling me these past months, where for myself and many I know, let alone those here in chat, have been struggling. Toe I know that you guys found each other and in your own ways struggle and maybe got to a point where it felt like okay well there's nothing else to do and people like it so why not. Please don't stop, I'm going into today less lonely.

my entire adult life is measured by this band's music

It feels so unreal to be finally getting a new toe album after all these years. I can already tell that it's going to be another masterpiece

It was shocking to me that toe released a whole new album. I was in the car listening to goodbye and it is almost the hundred time I listen to it. When I opened the homepage of toe on the app, I found that they released the new album. I was so happy

Im listening toe in tokyo，cant describe this feeling…

TOE MOMENT!!!

Recently got dumped, this album was announced the day after. Thank you for reminding me there are still things to look forward to even in difficult times.

I'm obsessed with the new album. it's simultaneously everything I've heard before from toe and something entirely different. this is music, this is expression, this is art

Life can wait 6 minutes

NO WAY IT DROPPED I BEEN LISTENING TO THE CRUSTY LEAK FOR SO LONG

Toe, you forever stand as one of my favorites bands and forever I will listen to your music. It's not for the ears but truly for the soul.

I've been waiting for years for toe's new album, and now that it's almost here it feels surreal. Lockdown, and my life wouldn't have been the same without you guys. Thanks so much for the music you guys make, it means a lot to me!

toeの演奏はピカイチなのは知ってるけど、メロディに歌の載せ方がセンスよすぎ！ んで、声がめちゃくちゃかっこいい、こんなん最強じゃんw

I've been following this band since I was in 15 in High School....I'm now 25, doing my Masters. So many things have changed, but my love for this band is unchanged. Thank for your music, toe.

毎日毎日、ムカつくこととか悲しいことが多くて気持ちのやり場が無いけど これ聞いたら「明日も絶望する程、悪くはないかな。」と思えます。 ありがTOEーーーーーーーー

Hear You was the soundtrack to me and my friends 20's. As we've all just tipped into our 30's I look forward to Now I See The Light being the soundtrack to our 30's. I hope you come back to the UK soon!

When it feels like human creativity is fading, Toe return

Hey, toe. I haven't missed a single day of listening to your songs since I first discovered your music around 2010 when I was a 7th grader. Not once. Your music has been with me through the ups and downs of my life, through achievements and the battles I don't share with anyone. But your music helps, you know... it calms me down, makes me happy, brings me to tears, fills me with joy-it fits any occasion. "Run for Word," "Velvet Blanc," "I Dance Alone"-I love them all. I love your music. It's been years since you guys released a new LP, and I've been wondering, "When will toe release new music? A new LP?" "I wonder what music they'll make next." "Will it be a lot different?" So far, you've always delivered. I know others feel the same way about your music. It's so sad I can't see you guys at Fuji Rock this month-it’s been a dream of mine to see you perform on stage at the Fuji Rock Festival. Thank you for your hard work, and thank you for your music. You guys rock! Oh, and also: thank you for including "Sonny Boy Rhapsody" to NISTL. 🙂

We listen to them when we want to feel lonely or sad. They're not just a part of our lives, they're a part of our emotions.

They come back to us now, at the turn of the tide

Beautiful. This is genuinely one of the best bands in the history of recorded music

「孤独は光るだろう」toeの楽曲からは孤独を説明されていなくても感じるのはなぜだろうな。 同じ感覚を持っている人がtoeのみなさん含めて、世界中にいるんだと、思うと安心する。 孤独でいるのに、孤独を感じていない。うまく言えないですが、届けてくれてありがとう。

I love ALL of their music and their style! I gotta listen to more. Im a recent fan too.

Still the classic drum style, I love it

3:49 The day I’ll see them live will be my definition of “I can rest in peace when I die”.

Спасибо toe за то, что продолжаете заниматься творчеством для нас т_т

я слушаю вас с 12 лет, сейчас мне 19. мне трудно передать все, что я сейчас чувствую, когда в переломный момент жизни появляется ваш новый трек. спасибо за наставничество и поддержку все эти годы. ваша музыка - это ответ. спасибо.

I'm such a sucker for rotoscope animation like this

It's so strange just a week or so ago I listened all the way through Book About My Idle Plot and had no idea this was coming. Much love to you

WE ARE SO BACK

素晴らしい音楽が出来上がることはもちろん知っていた。 しかし、このアニメーションが持ってくる感動はまた違う感覚の感動 心が解けて胸が熱くなる

This feels so nostalgic. It's feel unreal how much toe has affected my life over the years

words can't describe how much i love this song/mv

This song feels like it would be fit for Sonny Boy anime soundtrack, it just have the same strangeness yet tender melody

Escurren las lágrimas por mi cara ahora mismo. El nombre es muy acertado, mi soledad comenzó a brillar y es gracias a ustedes. Los amo con mi alma, me mantienen con vida. toe por siempre y para siempre. LOS AMO!!! 💖

We’re so back

So good... Can't stop listening. Truly amazing how Toe can reach that deep into my emotions

いつもtoe聞くと希望と絶望の交差点に連れていかれた気がします。美しい
