What can the fans expect to see for this upcoming show?<\/span><br \/>\nSteve Lukather : Well.. we are just starting to talk about that. What music we want to play.I think we will do some stuff off record we won a Grammy for .. 3 of those and then some fresh material as well. I am writing a piece with Jeff Babko,we are doing a little tribute to Joe Sample and Jeff Porcaro and some vocal tunes this time. Some blues stuff.. no pop music per se. It is gonna be a good show I know that. Killer band and Larry and I have not played together in 15 years so.. I can&#8217;t believe it has been that long but I am a different person in every way now so I look forward to playing these shows with a clear mind body and spirit. It will be much different this time. Better!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">MM : Do you plan to do any live recordings for the shows in Japan?<\/span><br \/>\nSL : Yes a live DVD is planned. We shall see how it turns out. Probably recording in Tokyo this time. We shall see..<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">MM : We heard that the new TOTO album is done. What&#8217;s it going to sound like?<\/span><br \/>\nSL : New Toto is done and will be out around March 24 with a 2 year world tour to starting in May in Europe, then USA then in 2016 we will be all over the world. The new music is very fresh and exciting. I am so spud of it and we worked SO hard on it. It is more the floor up to Toto IV than any other record since. It is a real &#8216; band record&#8217; in that everyone sings and writes and gets to shine. The music is strong and classic Toto with a 2015 vibe to it. You will be the judge.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">MM : When do you plan to tour Japan with TOTO?<\/span><br \/>\nSL : 2016 for sure. NO dates yet but we will be back for sure!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffcc99;\">MM : Please give a message to your Japanese fans who are looking forward to seeing your show in January.<\/span><br \/>\nSL : SO excited to come back to Japan. I love it so much in your country. Larry and I are bringing a kick ass show that will be diverse and show the many sides we have musically and will surely be a blast. It is all but sold out so get your tix now while there are still a few left! Thesis a one of a kind show and we dontknow when or if we will ever do it again so.. BE there! I also want to thank all the Japanese fans and friends for the good vibe and well wishes and wish you all very best new year and I will see you soon!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0px currentColor; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; display: inline; background-image: none;\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.museonmuse.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/carltonluke2015_thumb1.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"209\" border=\"0\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Larry Carlton &amp; Steve Lukather Japan Tour 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>January 25 Sapporo Zepp Sapporo<br \/>\nJanuary 26 Osaka   Sankei Hall Breeze<br \/>\nJanuary 28 Nagoya  Nagoya Blue Note<br \/>\nJanuary 29 Fukuoka Zepp Fukuoka<br \/>\nJanuary 30 Tokyo   Blue Note Tokyo<br \/>\nJanuary 31 Tokyo   Blue Note Tokyo<\/p>\n<p>February 1 Tokyo   Blue Note Tokyo<br \/>\nFebruary 2 Tokyo   Blue Note Tokyo<br \/>\nFebruary 3 Tokyo   Blue Note Tokyo<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.stevelukather.com\/tour\/2015\/larry-carlton-steve-lukather-tour-2015.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.stevelukather.com\/tour\/2015\/larry-carlton-steve-lukather-tour-2015.aspx<\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nSteve Lukather official site : <a title=\"http:\/\/www.stevelukather.com\/\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stevelukather.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.stevelukather.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Lukather Steve Lukather and Larry Carlton will be performing in Japan, 15 years after their last performance together in Japan.
