Wow...I never new Mabo could do all that! I thought he just did drums. Does anyone know of a TOKIO track where Mabo did vocals? Even just a few seconds solo, hehe. I'm dying to hear his singing voice!

Yeah Mabo has some solo songs!!
From the album [glider] his solo is called [Midnight Rose]
from [5 AHEAD] it's called [Sugarless Love]
and from [Grafitti] the title is [Purple Rouge]

my fave from those 3 is Sugarless Love :muack: :dancing:
I have the MP3s, if you can't find them somewhere else let me know, I'll try uploading them, but please be patient 'coz I have a super slow internet connection :(

THANK YOU!!!! WOOOOT!!!

God I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself! Mabo's singing voice! :applaud:

And oooh yes please! I'dlove it if you could upload them. If you don't have space at your server, I can create you an account at mine :) I run a webhost, so it's no biggie. Thanks again!

effronterie, I pm you the links already :)
If anyone else wants the mp3s too, reply here and I'll pm you the links. I uploaded it to yousendit so the links will only last for 7 days or after a limited number of downloads.

Thanks again! I'm downloading them now :) Hopefully they'll be finished by the time the clock hits 12. What a great way to celebrate Mabo's bday...listening to his singing voice for the first time!

Heheh, I'm such a fangirl.

I WANT TO BE HIS BIRTHDAY GIFT !!!!!!!! :nut: :hehe: :naughty: :woot: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hi mochi, welcome to the boards, :woot: :woot: I'm seeing it's your first post !!!! :mrgreen:
Those shots are from the NHK Taiga Drama (historic series) "Musashi", which was aired in 2003.
You're right, the period covered by the series is the Edo Period (actually the first years of Edo Period).
If you're interested, you can check out this thread:
