Digital release on January 31, 2022

2nd EP "The 1st of the 13th month"

Multiplying the flow of the times that I felt and the roots,

An EP with 6 songs full of variations from ballads to dance tunes.  The lyrics are unified, and all of them are characterized by many broken heart songs.

There are many possible reasons for the origin of the title "December 1st", such as "Itching that shouldn't be in the next year" and "The day after December 31st".

Most of this work is a lyric with the theme of broken heart, and it was attached from "the feeling of being dragged".  The concept of this work was decided because there are overwhelmingly few broken heart songs among the songs he has written so far.  The feeling is "I want the listener to feel the taste of broken heart that matches the sound."

どうして (feat. 野田愛実)

This 12-track album marks Takase Toya's twelfth year in music - a return to his roots and a reflection of where he stands today.
Some of the songs were born in his teenage years, now brought to life again through the lens of growth and time. It's a quiet dialogue between the past and the present.

The title "8" symbolizes an endless journey.
Infinity, his soul number, and the place he always comes back to.
Within it live his early impulses and deeper, quieter resolutions.

Toya doesn't confine himself to genres.
He turns pure emotion into sound - sharp at times, gentle at others.
Each track traces an invisible feeling, giving form to the intangible.

With "8",he embarks on the Part 1 of his world tour across Asia in 2025,
carrying a belief that music knows no borders.

This is not just to be heard.
It's to be felt.

TAKASE TOYA "Ai'll TOUR in Hong Kong" - Live at Kitty Woo Stadium Tang Po (Nov. 2024)

In November 2024, TAKASE TOYA returned to what he calls his "second home" - Hong Kong - for a landmark two-day solo concert at the largest venue of his career in the city, the Kitty Woo Stadium Tang Po.

The "Ai'll TOUR in Hong Kong" was a heartfelt tribute to the city that gave him his start as a reverse-import artist.
TAKASE TOYA later reflected, "There's no doubt - Hong Kong is the place that made me who I am today."
This performance wasn't just a return to his roots - it was a declaration of what's to come.

The live recording released here captures the energy and emotion of the final day of the tour.
Featuring a best-of setlist from his 2024 catalog, the concert was a celebration of sound, love, and shared memory.
We invite you to relive that unforgettable night - through every beat, every lyric, and every moment frozen in this sonic journey.
