I'm 44. My kids, ages 9 + 12, beg to listen to - Oh! Tengo Surerte whenever they get into my car. I always let the whole album play for them..

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Awesome!

[@afpseb4582]

I ride bike my daughter at the back playing tengo suerte and all of me . People got sad faces but we smile. Now run 24 km thabks to takanaka

[@Ridley_1992]

This is my favorite Takanaka song along with Sexy Dance. I bought his album All of Me on vinyl and it's one of my most treasured possessions.

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that! More songs are coming! Great one!

[@VilodWacholderbeerenmet]

The cover alone sold me on that record!

[@treytholen873]

if you like those you would like The Sunset Valley from seven goblins album

[@CavalinoRampante]

Whenever I see master Masayoshis name I know it's going to be nothing short of amazing! Also, 99% of music I find that is from Japan, I instantly know it is flawlessly produced. So glad I finally found out this amazing fact about the Land of the rising sun. Happy monday Tomo!

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So happy to hear that. Thank you for sharing! Happy Monday!

[@user-kk4kn1ue8u]

I adore Japanese funk and disco! 70s-80s

[@9kbrasil29]

mr. takanaka was greatly influenced at that time by his master percussionist damião. he immersed himself in Brazilian culture (the real one) and produced this work of art. you can feel that influence in his music

[@9kbrasil29]

*master Damião

I've been listening to' Insatiable High' over and over again for like a month straight, which I've declared my official 2023 summer album. Pure gold! Genius! So much fun and good vibes, Feel good music with a depth. Extraordinary musicianship and guitar playing. If you're into retro latin party randb jazz with some blues subtleties, that's what I'm picking up from Takanaka. He is quickly becoming one of my favorites. Amazing man in general! Today I start Brasilian Skies.

My two favourite Japanese Guitarrists. My favourites takanaka song´s are alone, nagisa moderato and nightmare. For me he is a legendary guitarrist his work is amazing: variety of stiles, very good melodic and rythym sense and of course his energy on the stage is so powerfull. I love to see him on the stage, He is smiling all time, love from Spain

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

ありがとうございます！Thank you so much! I will do more!

[@nohillforahighstepper]

To learn a new song, I start with just bass notes. Then I will figure out if the chords are major, minor, diminished, sustained, etc. Then, lastly, I'll find the melody and lead parts. Some songs are very easy for me. Most songs I can learn within 10 minutes. But some, like Sultans of Swing, can take considerably longer. I spent several weeks learning Sultans of Swing. 😊

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

Thank you for sharing! Good job! Thank you!

[@katsunori.bb.kawai.6633]
