@@jerbear97 I'd argue this drummer's style is more jazz influenced/soulful than your average math rock drummer, his feel is very distinct imo. Takashi plays _a_ _lot_ of notes, he's highly energetic, even frenzied. It's true even for his non-math rock projects- he loves to fill up the space he's given. What makes him a masterful drummer is that even though he's playing a lot, his work never sounds overcrowded because of his volume control and disciplined control of rhythm. There are some math rock drummers that sound similar, but to me, the conventional 'every other math rock drummer' sounds much more trimmed down, controlled, or even spartan compared to Toe.
Thank you, Toe. I've listened to you guys ever since college was tough, living alone was rough, relationships were breaking, friends were hurting. You enabled me to restart again. Thank you for your music. I wouldn't be here without you, guys. Stay phenomenal.
Never thought I'd get to say this, but I got to see toe twice last week. Their energy is monumental. You hear their music, watch videos like this and DOKU-EN-KAI, and think you know what it would be like to be in their audience, but you have no idea until you experience it. And Takashi. Man. I have never revered a musician more than him. I really hope they return to Australia one day.
this is the only band i know where the live / not fully mastered versions of their songs just sound better than their recordings on the album. These songs gain so much from a live performance its surreal, one of my all time favorite bands!!!
I don't know if you are going to read this comment, but I want to tell you that you guys are incredible and I hope that you will continue making music for many years, a lot of love for you from Peru. あなたがこのコメントを読むつもりかどうかはわかりませんが、みなさんは信じられないほど素晴らしいことを伝えたいと思います。これからもペルーからの愛情を込めて、長年にわたって音楽を作り続けてほしいと思います。 PS：私の悪い日本人のために申し訳ありません
Man, Ionno why but every time I hear Latest Number it always makes me cry. Their music has such a wonderfully human quality about it that transcends language barriers and hits you right in the feels. I will always be grateful they exist and that I got to see them once and had my mind completely blown.
I was lucky to see them play live in Shanghai, 2019. I traveled alone from another city two hours away just to go see them, and it was really worthy, a once-in-a-life-time experience.
@@jaspberry yeah! that's right, it was awesome man, I remember they were kinda drunk that night, but still played awesomely hah I remember there was a show in Beijing too though
Incredibly talented musicians. Toe is severely underrated and underappreciated. You guys are like a breath of fresh air in the music world. Thank you for making the music that you do.
Fun fact: it's called 'Where Are My Ears?" because the first (recorded?) version of it was played during the filming of Doku-En-Kai. The band is jamming while they wait for Yamazaki's in-ear monitors to be fixed. Pretty cool to think that they may have made it up on the spot, and now it's something they play to transition into The Latest Number.
not only that but also i think the mixing here is much more dynamic and crisper than the album version, like every instrument is perfectly balanced. even when the playing gets aggressive you can still make out the tiniest details
Thank you toe. At my most difficult moments, I always seem to fall back on you guys. Ever since I first heard your music, it's been something that resonates with me to help me keep pushing forward through the insanity. Thank you for all the things you've made.
Japan was absolutely slaying in the early 2000's with Toe, The Back Horn, Envy, Downy, Asia Kung-Fu Generaton, Number Girl. Cornelius, Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her, and Acidman to name a few.
@@whatdothlife4660 early 2000s Japanese music regardless of genre all encompasses a melancholic yet beautiful vibe, probably my favorite era in music history
Will always love you guys! You played here 4 years ago and in the same night i asked a woman i was dating to be my girlfriend. 3 years later, same date, you guys came, played again, and became a part of our 3rd year anniv haha. I guess toe really is magic!
@@sarinhakaki I know but I was solid broke at the time so couldn't make the trip or afford the tickets :P if they were to come back, I surely would go see them
thank you toe, thank you for understanding music and make us feel what no other band can, for sounding just as in the studio versions, for being such great musicians and after all these years still producing great stuff. we love you from everywhere in the world
Thanks so much for posting this... Your music has been a wonderful escape from the weirdness that has dominated this year. It always puts me in a positive head space.
You are truly a gift ! Thank you for doing what’s natural to you and being so damn amazing 💕 I think I can say it feels like a gift every time you release something to us 🙏
That drummer man.... he just has his own sound
it sounds like every other math rock drummer tbh, but i'm not saying it's bad
@@jerbear97 nah fam. Ya gotta listen closer

@@jerbear97 I’m guessing you’re not a musician. it’s easy to disregard and/or be blind to stylistic subtleties in music if you’re not
Years go by and I still believe that this version of the latest number is far superior to the studio version.
Thank you, Toe. I've listened to you guys ever since college was tough, living alone was rough, relationships were breaking, friends were hurting. You enabled me to restart again. Thank you for your music. I wouldn't be here without you, guys. Stay phenomenal.
It gets better at 0:00
Me to dude, me to.
@Aizlkrsby M theyve been here i think 3 times already. Dont miss them next time.
Wow good to know that there are still people who appreciate the purpose of this soulful genre
@@andresgo4925 Absolutely, dude. I'll raise my kids telling them how great this band is.
0:00 Long Tomorrow
5:19 Where Are My Ears (Jam)
6:29 The Latest Number
Toe is the type of band that God listens to.
What?! I thought God was doing the drum man.
This band is literally my religion.
yoooo, I totally agree!
And we vibe to them everyday right roomie?
@@arpan222 hell yeah!
their drummer is something else
For real. You could recognize this dude's groove if he was tapping on a saucepan on the other side of the house. He's nuts.
12 years later, long tomorrow is still one of the finest music I have ever experienced. Love toe!

I can't stop coming back to this band. They have such a unique sound that gets down to my soul. Very few bands have done that to me. Incredible music.
Agree! The other bands that I've watched touches my heart but this band reach my soul.
ライブで感動した世界中の方々からのコメントに、toeを聴いていることで見ず知らずの知らない世界の方々と繋がっているようで胸が熱くなります。
ありがとうございます。
みんながtoeの音楽を聴きたがってるってことをちゃんと分かってくれてて嬉しいよね
テクニックとは 正確性、緻密さだったり難度だったりそういったことを表すものでもありますが
感情、思いを楽器と繋ぐもの、と定義したならこれほどテクニカルなバンドは他にない。
That is beautiful ❤️
love how the keyboard player was just chillin

Es una banda increíble, también soy de Perú. Los escucho durante el trabajo para relajarme. Espero que algún día vengan!
私も同じ気持ちです。彼らが素晴らしい音楽を作り続ける事を心より願っています。

Same here, Barcelona in 2016, travelled from a city 5 hours away. Definitely worth it and would do it again.
bruh, 2019 at the Mao Livehouse? I flew down from Beijing to attend that show as well; it was indeed phenomenal, as per usual for toe.
@@jaspberry yeah! that's right, it was awesome man, I remember they were kinda drunk that night, but still played awesomely hah I remember there was a show in Beijing too though
@@soysinyo Ojala vengan otra vez, que los conoci durante la pandemia y tengo ganas de verlos en directo!
The world needs your music Toe, tearing up reading some of these comments and feeling we're all in this together.
The drumming on "Long Tomorrow" is always on point.
The drumming on any Toe's song is always on point*
@@AswedProject amen
@@AswedProject that's what I was gonna comment 😂
Im glad i discovered this band
Welcome to the obsession, haha. They are magic.
@@osidiusemphatic truly
"Sonny Boy" 's creators did made a wise decision to add TOE's music in the series. Zen Experience in the form of music 🍁
11:35 WOW! The crash flipped off the drum set LMAO!
Incredibly talented musicians. Toe is severely underrated and underappreciated. You guys are like a breath of fresh air in the music world. Thank you for making the music that you do.
Listening and watching this during these trying times is making me more emotional but I can’t stop my self from putting it on repeat
東北の震災の時のOrdinary day からハマった
やっぱり切ない曲が癒しで また帰ってきました
レイテストナンバーの入り方カッコよすぎる・・・いつかライブ行ってみたい
Usually I listen to Toe while coding. But I just watched this video with full attention, so emotional performance!
Song 01 0:00
Song 02 6:29
holy fuck, i just discovered this group and can't stop listening to it
追憶の空に学校のチャイムが鳴り響く
涙が出るほど素晴らしい
I exclusively love this version becouse of this transition between the two songs.

Very grateful to meet these people, they make me feel that living is worth living
Hopping more years to come with TOE, man, several times a week I listen to this and my body starts twitching with the rhythm

ライブ行きたいっす・・・
ライブ行きてえよおーーーー
im not sure how many have not heard this song yet but IT IS a classic
There's no one else who sounds like Toe. Such a great performance.
On top of everything else, what a great recording! The beat the comes in at 6:29 is sample-worthy as hell.
I listen to this every day.
me too bro
ベース気持ち良すぎる。
ありがtoe‼︎
Thank you for being such a beautiful piece of music. All incredible musicians. Cheers from Florida.
Rock on, Toe.
Love from Johannesburg, South Africa.
どうもありがとうございます！
A fellow South African Toe fan??
Never thought I'd see the day🤝🏾🔥
It's impossible to describe how much this is my favourite band
Toes is such an amazing band. It's relaxing, calming and pretty chill. I am so addicted to their song tbh
Man I love how toe can fly through a song so smoothly
I love your music, been vibing since 2010 when the For Long Tomorrow pv dropped..... still watch that every few months. 😍🤙
やはり柏倉さんのドラミングは圧倒的すぎる…
関係ないけど、ゴリラが胸を叩くことの他にもキツツキが木をつつくこともドラミングって言うらしいね。

These songs makes me calm everytime i play it. Stay creative.
