Into his 6th decade in the business and still, shamefully, virtually unknown outside his home country, Takanaka is a "GUITAR GOD"!!!

@@1assassyn I was born in 1948 so I'm into my 8th decade but I'm only (only LOL!) 73 work it out! I didn't say he'd been professional for 60 years his first band "Escape" began playing American bases in the late 1960's so: 60's,70's,80's 90's, noughties, tens, 20's actually makes 7 decades he's played in (not for) but my comment concerned his recording career which began in 1971 with the somewhat bizarrely named "Fried Egg" and then the excellent "Sadistic Mika Band" before going solo so he is indeed "into his 6th decade. Regards Jay.
Takanaka deserve more recognition, the man is an absolute beast with the guitar, and her melodies takes you to an amazing trip. Takanaka es el mejor señores, viva Japón y sus artistas, los mejores del mundo

Recently, I have heard many people from all over the world say that the prices of LPs and CDs of Japanese musicians such as takanaka and Yamashita Tatsuro sold at discogs are too high and they cannot afford to buy them. I cannot judge whether the prices are really high or not, but one thing is clear. Mr. Takanaka and other Japanese musicians and bands have not signed formal sales contracts with major Western record companies. Western record companies have not sold their works on the global market for more than the past 60 years. Even if the musicians were willing to do so, their music was ignored because it was judged to have no market value for international sales, and for a long time they were not given the opportunity to conclude sales contracts on the international market. Therefore, we were never given the opportunity to know about the existence of their music. And they have already become old men without being known worldwide. Unfortunately, this is a fact. His content on discogs is a collection of LPs and CDs released by Japanese companies for the Japanese market in the past. The CDs are priced for the Japanese market, and the number of pressings is designed to meet the demand of the Japanese market. Therefore, it is only natural that if more and more people around the world want to buy them, the supply will become tight, and the price of used products will tend to go up. The first thing needed to solve this problem is a direct sales contract with each musician for the world market. The major record companies in the U.S. and Europe must recognize the global marketability and needs of their music and sign a formal direct sales contract with Mr. Takanaka and the other Japanese musicians. Unless this formal sales contract is signed, their works will not be distributed in the world market at a fair price. This is the same thing for physical media distribution, online distribution, etc. That is the first step in solving the problem. the Western music industry and media have long been aware of their presence in Japan, but ignored them without signing contracts to release their music in the Western or worldmarkets. As a result, for a long time, a frighteningly large number of Japanese musicians have been limited to supplying the Japanese domestic market, and have been buried in Japan market without being known by many people. Needless to say, the advent of the Internet accidentally opened the door to the world, and now many people know the existence of Japanese past music on this planet.

Crazy to see this here as I was looking for a record myself and was not willing to pay the $100 or more for the vinyls
