I guess you would have noticed the new Japanese website! Finally you lot in Japan can enjoy the latest Toy Doll gossip along with the rest of us!

Talking of Japan! Japanese record company SOLITARY MAN RECORDS will be releasing Treasured Toy Dolls Tracks with a difference! The sleeve will change a little, and the album title will be The Toy Dolls in Solitary Confinement.
