New Domoto Tsuyoshi single and album

April is starting to shape up to be a major release month for Johnny's as Domoto Tsuyoshi from Kinki Kids will be releasing new solo material, one single and an album, on April 10th. So if any of the other groups release in April it will be after this date as Johnny's doesn't like to compete with itself.

The single is incredibly cheap, so it's probably the one song Sora -Utsukushi Wara no Sora-. It does boast that the photo for the jacket is shot by Tsuyoshi himself and is not listed to be one of the album tracks.

The album comes in two editions, the usual LE and RE. The LE will have a special booklet and a bonus track while the RE will have an instrumental bonus track. And probably the most intersting thing about this release is that cdjapan lists that Tsuyoshi did all the recording, which includes all the instruments used, himself and will have taken the photos for the covers all himself as well.

Being Tsuyoshi's solo project I have the feeling it probably has no tie-in, as from what I've noticed he doesn't normally have tie-ins for his solo work. I don't really follow Kinki Kids at all but I've always gotten the feeling that Tsuyoshi's solo work has a strong focus on the music and less on the sales and commercial appeal of it. Which I guess goes to show the kind of status Tsuyoshi has in Johnny's.
