Have to agree, and his band is so tight!

Oui merci un grand moment de plaisir de joie ou des gens sont heureux de faire de la musique alors merci merci❤❤❤

2 types on people on this earth : those who like Durian, Those you like Tkanaka, those who like the sea, those who run and smile when the sound is great and the sky and the birds.... those who like all of that and i forgot : those who don't like anything ;p

そろそろパラレルターンの季節なんだわ。今日の寒さは１２月並なんで手も動かないわ。！大阪市淀川の堤防から、、もちろん高中サウンド聴いてます。

I think he’s up there with the greats like jimmy Hendrix. He’s an absolute legend

Good stuff.

the beginning of a journey... And it was beautiful

jimmy buffet was that for me. But takanaka is pretty good

I AGREE.........It is a love of life that I FEEL when I listen with my heart! This is my goal as well! Love everything about this music!

been playing for 2 years, never had one either, I think I found mine too

It's always great to find someone who puts so much passion and heart into their music that it becomes inspirational.

me too! he also made me realize that i like instrumental music!

Welcome to the pipeline my friend! :)

KZfaq was also to thank for me learning about him, though it was All of Me compilation album that was suggested…for like a freaking year until I finally clicked on it

​@@fieldroaster21 same story 😭

@@fieldroaster21lol same thing happened to me 2 days ago

He played Hideaway, a classic Blues song, and you're supposed to feel Bluesy Happy, but somehow he makes you feel genuinely Happy!

@@lambsows4168 and shocked me that he played a Ten Years After (Alvin Lee) song, "I Woke Up This Morning' !!

Probably something to do with the designers of the game being Japanese.

I'm sure all the nintendo/sega composers grew up on city pop, you can tell just by listening

Haha that was my first thought aswell :D

Sega definitely were influenced by it and most likely many other composers out there. I was amazed to find out the inhouse S.S.T (Sega Sound Team) band actually had Issei Noro of Casiopia as a guest in 89. Credited for "S.S.T. Band (Sega Sound Team) - Rush A Difficulty(Arrange Ver.)" There is a good interview (SEGA 60th anniversary interview with Hiro) where Sega composer Hiroshi Kawaguchi mentions he joined Sega hoping to work on music and found himself in programming until Yu Sazuki ask for his help in Hang-On, Hiro said that he "had been in an instrumental band as a hobby and had made copies of songs by people like Masayoshi Takanaka, Cassiopeia, and Naoya Matsuoka (the “leader” of Latin fusion music in Japan), and Yu had known that. Apparently he also knew that I had wanted to be on the sound team, so he offered that to me."

@@nocturnalscotsman amazing information! thanks for responding!

Valid

Same

You kids need to get out.

@@shreemhreemkleem lel pleb.

@@shreemhreemkleem timestamps?

@@shreemhreemkleem are you talking about the pedal effects or something? Are you by chance a robot? Because you must have ZERO creativity if you think it sounds bad. Out of tune doesn’t mean it’s bad, and if you think it does then that’s why I ask if you’re a robot. There’s more to music, and art in general, than the most basic aspects.

This extremely Beautiful!!

@@shreemhreemkleemhaha calling one of the best guitar players in the world out of tune hilarious

さすが、いいこと言いますね！

I dont hear the waves! which song is it on?

@@v_bryce it's the background ambience at the beginning

Nice catch!

He shrugs like that to let the string fall away from the others, the fact he didn't lose a beat to it was proof of his experience and practice in music.

And that smile after! Masayoshi Takanaka is the coolest guitarist in my books

@@nevoyu for me it was that he had to hit the same note again a few seconds later and used a pinch harmonic off the cuff to get it. That’s not easy stuff, you gotta know which fret on which string is going to allow you to get the pitch you need, and then you have to know where to activate the harmonic with your picking hand to get it to ring out right. A couple millimeters either direction and you’ll just get the sound of a muted string. He did all that calculation on the spot and nailed it. That’s seriously impressive.

グレイト‼️

昔本人が飯食ってるか、寝てるか、それ以外はギター弾いてるっていってた 自分はそれで諦めた。

@@tomtom2893 ほんとにそうだったんですか…。やっぱり有名になる人は凄いですよね。教えてくれてありがとうございます😊

I Love it,too!!!!!

It was a such a beautiful close to the performance 💖💖😭😭

That was such a cool way to introduce the other musicians and the final "Takanaka Masayoshi" was such a cool way to end a show :D

Полностью согласен , очень красиво !

I haven't seen anything where he's ever. Time to fly to Japan

i heard he only plays in japan, though i cant cite the source

@@hipsnowsis7374 Hello Hips! I've performed in front of crowds before and fortunately, we never got booed off of a stage. That didn't stop the fear that I experienced before each performance. Maybe he has a fear of playing in front of an American or other audiences. I've spoken with some bands from overseas and, some of them say that Americans can be cruel sometimes. If they don't like your performance. We can be that way sometimes. I suppose that's why we can issue some of the best products in the world. Although I don't think that's as true as it was years ago. Just a thought.

オリジナルの方のキーボードソロも、同じくハモンドオルガン使われてますよね（アルバムではミミちゃんが弾いてるのかな）

Please checkout the Rainbow Goblins album from start to finish! It is amazing!!

@@Marciemanit is

To have a string break is always annoying. True professionalism.

One of my favorite song I’ve ever heard. Those chords are perfect. And the guitar…truly a masterpiece.

What song is it?

まさか335を弾く高中さんを見れる日が来るとは思いませんでしたw昔の335ブームの時の高中さんはひたすらフェンダーのストラトかヤマハのSGでしたから(笑)

@@wakuhonchan 様！（初めまして！）そうですね！　いま2世紀に聴いていると彼からソウル・スピリットがあふれ出ている感じがします！（2022-08-12）

愛娘が最初、サンタナと高中さんの🎸が同じに聴こえると言ってたのが懐かしいです🎵サンタナのライブに行ったら、ゲスとでクラプトンが‼️でも、高中さんの🎸が一番です❤️
