toe - LONELINESS WILL SHINE

[@diushianstand]

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!

[@icetea8500]

[@milkmanswife93696]

keep shining

[@dbl0null]

life is a bitch but she's totally doable

[@pooscooper]

My fiancée and I just parted ways too. I’ve been walking a lot to process and listening to Toe. Such an incredible surprise to see this new music. Hang in there my friend. It might get tough, but there’s light ahead

[@fault3k]

[@Rmutt1020]

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.

[@Osamuraisan]

This is the music! by japanese

[@Mellorolo]

thats what make it still a jam 👏

[@cameroncorrosive925]

wait does that make this Japanese, mumble, math rock? I already love Toe, For Long Tomorrow is one of my all time favorite albums.

[@autumnsphere7581]

Very similar to albums volvere and fermina

I understand it 140%, and only have a tenuous grasp on English after 37 years.

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.

Thats badass! You got this! Best of luck in your studies

[@hui-an-xin]

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.

[@sakethkalaga]

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!

[@yitianxiao6650]

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

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.

[@unluck_chan]

Завидую такой музыкальной прошаренности в столь ранние годы. Мне сейчас 20 и узнал о Toe я лишь с год тому назад, с того момента я уже не был прежним. К сожалению никто из окружения не знал о такой прекрасной группе. Рад что всё же и в СНГ есть ещё ценители этого вайбовейшего коллектива

[@qwwwqwww255]

@@unluck_chan это никак не назовешь прошаренностью - это счастливая случайность :) просто на просторах вконтакта случайно наткнулась на goodbye. и так зацепило, что в плейлист между green day и coldplay затесался японский матрок. время прошло, вкусы поменялись, а toe остаётся со мной. сколько ни искала среди коллег по жанру и полных жанровых противоположностей, так и не смогла найти что-то, что так же резонировало бы со мной. и естественно никто в окружении их не знает, но я не отчаиваюсь, пытаясь подружить всех с хорошей музыкой)

[@яфрик-и1й]

[@csansbro]

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. 🙂

Eles tem, pelo jeito, um selo independente e lançam coisas por lá "Machu Picchu Industrias" é o nome. Mas como ja está mais que na cara, não foi dessa vez que a minha previsão aconteceu... Baita álbum! Fazia tempo que nao ouvia algo tao profundo e bonito. Ja conhecia a musica que apareceu em Sonny Boy mas ela encaixou perfeitamente no contexto do album. Muito obrigado, toe. Espero um dia ver vocês aqui no Brasil.

Listening to their new album brings back so much memories when I watched them live in Manila twice. Whenever I listen to toe, it's like a kind of resetting my emotions to the base from whatever I was feeling - angry, sad, happy - it becomes grounded and I feel refreshed again. Toe continues to shine in my heart, I cannot express how much they've been a part of my life all these years.
