-> Hideki Togi san participated in Tsuyoshi new Single and Album that will release on April 10th.

I've been searching for this person and found an interesting fact here.
Let me quote some:

♪ The world of Japanese traditional performing arts has always been a cloistered one, and perhaps the most elitist of them all is the Imperial Palace Gagaku Orchestra. Now, however, Gagaku is being reformed by a long-haired, leather-wearing rebel, who is trying to inject some new life into a moribund art form. His name is Hideki Togi.

♪ Gagaku is music associated with a stately Japanese dance called "Bugaku." The music uses drums, gongs, biwa, koto, sho (a kind of mouth-organ) and the flute-like hichiriki.

♪ In his youth, he had absorbed a great deal of musical influences from Western bands and guitarists, and had developed a fascination with Jimi Hendrix that he still admits to today.

I haven't listen fully to the preview of 空～美しい我の空, but the first part at the beginning only. And my first imagination is that the music sounds traditional.
So, what is actually Hideki Togi san participation in the project?
Maybe this is too early to say anything about Tsuyoshi new project, and now I can't wait until the album is in my hand.

PS: I'm still wondering about Tsuyoshi changing style. Is he really just changed like that? No more Endli/Funky style? Will his new project can be accepted by all his (endli/funky) fans?
