Mr. Takanaka, he is my guitar hero. He's been playing professionally since the age of 18. He is now 67. He's been lugging that Yamaha since the 70's. That's a heavy guitar. What a man. I hope he can perform for a long time so I can see him live. I've been listening to him ever since a Japanese friend of mine introduced him many many years ago in my younger days. What a musician. Long live Takanaka.
Running pays off! getting fit as he could be during his younger days i've seen a video where he plays the guitar while running off a threadmill sugoi no stamina
Esta composição, "Nagisa Moderato" de 1985 e "Alone", de 1981, são minhas preferidas pelas suas notas mais melódicas. Vida longa, sr Takanaka e os músicos que restam e que sempre o acompanharam.
