ATSUSHI comments: "I want to see the potential that EXILE TRIBE has which I won't be able to confirm unless I get off the stage and see it for myself. TAKAHIRO, SHOKICHI, and NESMITH will be leading the way for vocals, while 3rd Gen J Soul Brothers and GENERATIONS will give emphasis to each team's character. I want to see how they shine, as their senpai". He has discussed this with HIRO, and HIRO accepted this decision, stating that "This is a positive proposal which looks like a move for the future of EXILE TRIBE".
ATSUSHI has emphasized that he will not be participating in EXILE TRIBE's tour this year only, and this doesn't mean that he'll be quitting EXILE. He will continue to take part in EXILE's projects, TV programs, magazines, and radio shows; and has promised that he "will definitely come back as a much improved ATSUSHI performing together with the new EXILE" once EXILE does its tour in 2015.
EXILE TRIBE PERFECT YEAR LIVE TOUR “TOWER OF WISH 2014" will be participated in by EXILE and their brother/sister groups. The schedule will be announced on a later date. EXILE will be renewing their structure on April 27 as they welcome new performers. They will be releasing a new single and album in July titled AMAZING WORLD. The theme for their tour next year will revolve around this new album and will be called EXILE LIVE TOUR 2015 “AMAZING WORLD”.
ATSUSHI just released his 2nd solo album called Music in March. He will be having a solo arena tour from April 12 to July 13.
