On February 27th he officially declared the end of his solo project ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI and subsequently also of 244-ENDLI-x, the name to which he had switched in 2008.
With ending the project, he wanted to emphasize changing his style, and as such the music is purposely different from the funk sound of previous albums.
剛紫 can be read in various ways, but since Domoto wanted to return to his own name, it has been agreed on that the kanji are read as "Tsuyo-shi".
He himself said that his music now is meant to express as much of himself and be as honest as possible with the listener.
The new album,
美 我 空 - ビ ガ ク ～ my beautiful sky (Bi ga ku - bigaku ~ my beautiful sky) will be released on April 10th, 2009 and be followed by a nation-wide tour.

伝える 与えていくことが愛
真面目に生きていたいのに...
ただそれだけだよって
誰もがきっと夢を見てる
部屋灯りは何時もより影を打つ
隣で寝ている君の頬を撫でたら
寝ぼけてキスした君がいい...。
始まってくこの愛が僕らに
愛を教えるのかなど知れないけど...
ラブソング 綴るよ 綴るよ
時代へとラブソング 綴るよ
愛おしい家族やかけがえのない
いまをこの胸で抱いて生きているから
悪にも成れるよ 成れるけど...
何度も刻んだ今日は素晴しい
互いの詩 綺麗ね ふたりの詩 愛して
おやすみ おやすみ...
いつもなら気にも止めない公園
缶コーヒーがくれたその苦味が
肩に背負った夕日とやけに馴染むから
立ち寄り涙に沈めた...
眼の前に広がった愛しさが
消えてしまわないように話をしよう
手を繋いでるよ 繋いでるよ
君のHeart そっと読みたいから
愛したいよ でも愛せない愛もある
何かが途切れないように話をしよう
ちゃんと見つめるよ 見つめてるよ
明日より僕を信じればいい
互いの詩 綺麗ね ふたりの詩 愛した
いますぐ 逢いたい...
The song “Tsunagaru” by Gouji is a beautiful love song that expresses the power of music to connect people and transmit love. The opening lyrics say, “The melody of heartlessness flew to the night sky, to convey it is to give love." The idea here is that the music has the power to communicate feelings that words alone cannot. The singer then expresses his desire to live a serious life, but ultimately concludes that dreaming is an essential part of life. The song then transitions to describing a beautiful melody that he can’t stop listening to and that he wishes would be played for him forever.
The chorus declares that this is the type of love song that is written for all eras, and that what they share between them is a beautiful poem that is loved. The song then shifts to describing a scene at a park where the taste of the coffee and the sunset is memorable, followed by an emotional moment between the two lovers where they talk and hold hands. The song ends with the singer expressing his desire to see the other person again as soon as possible.
Overall, the song’s message is about the power of music and love to connect people, even across distance and time. The singer expresses his desire to hold onto these moments and live in the present while acknowledging the beauty of the past.
