Another studio album called "Together We Stand Alone", which features "To the End" has been released on March 19th, 2014. It contains 12 tracks, 11 of them have English lyrics, 1 being instrumental rock/folk mix track. Also, 1 track (Before I Fade Away) has a bridge in Japanese. YOHIO noted that unlike BREAK the BORDER, he has no intentions of translating Together We Stand Alone, as it's meant for western audience, and that music is not something his Japanese fans would like.
