I was stoked to score this one at a great price, but it's a bit sibilant on the spoken parts. Also getting some IGD. I'm wondering if others have noticed the same, or if its just my setup. -
This is my find of 2024. I was lucky to get an original 1981 version from Japan and cannot stop listening it since then. But why does the last song has such a familiar sound? Does someone know where I find the same theme? I feel like it is a popular song from the 80s/ 90s -
The best Takanaka record hands down. All of his other amazing records cannot top this. Beautiful production and guitar playing throughout the entire album. I love the concept of this album and it feels very personal. -
Rising Arch is for me the best hidden gem on this record. absolute smooth killer track. -
Mine came with a small postcard and a Takanaka guitar pick, anyone else got it? Tried to search on internet about it but can't find anything

bright easy going electronic smooth jazz:
