Today, February 1st, Masahiro Andoh announced that he'll be leaving T-SQUARE
after the next album and the next tour. He says that at his age it becomes
increasingly difficult to produce an album per year and that it takes too much
of him. The band will continue
with the current members, and Andoh himself will continue by the name of
"T-SQUARE alpha". He says that someday he might do something with the
band again. Sorry if I got something wrong in the translation. Original
