Man, this is so crazy. Before pandemic, I used to listen this album all day long, in my old job, on a administrative office. This music made days sounds like gold. I was dating for the first time my actual girlfriend, having hard times at university and watching everytime the clock to leave the office and go to have beers with my crew. Times changes. The pandemic is a nightmare, but also I leave that job to start working on a local radio station, and I enjoy that job by far. Hope this virus will be defeat soon, and we all be together to enjoy the magic of Takanaka. Greetings from Argentina, sorry for my bad english! Love and peace, people!
Your english is on point my dude. I hope the pandemic ends soon because i’d love to live a normal life again. Hope you are doing well. Greetings from the United States!

Not to overshare, but around october-november 2019 I was strongly contemplating s/icide, and I was planning how I'd do it, and while scrolling youtube i found this album. I know it's incredibly cliche right now, but this quite literally saved my life, as it got me to push through another few weeks to the pandemic, where I absolutely thrived, and got out of my depression by cleaning house with all of my newfound spare time, and I'm not entirely sure I would've made it w/o this album. I know others have had and will have it worse than me, but that opening lick to Oh! Tengo Suerte still brings me to tears of joy, as to me it symbolizes new beginnings and happy endings. To anyone else thinking about s/icide, please push on, and please do not go through with it. Almost every day, however much it may suck, I still feel grateful I never did it. Good luck to everyone here. 👋
Japanaise might be an unethical and unsustainable byproduct of the Japaner meat foodchain... but by god is it good. Also I am told that actually harpoons are very humane nowadays.
When this randomly came up in auto-play two years ago, I was in a bad place. I only listened to it once, but it put me in a good mood and the following day I pulled myself back together and got out of that bad situation. The last three days have been some of my worst, and here this album appears once more. I hope, whoever you are and whatever situation your find yourself in, that this also appeared randomly in your recommendations to bring you comfort.
saw takanaka-san live just a week ago. one of his final shows in japan, it was almost a farewell in a way. i cried through the whole thing but man he can still rock so hard at 70 years old. best artist ive ever seen live. It was magic. I will forever cherish those 2 hours. Love you Masayoshi Takanaka from the bottom of my heart you changed my life for the better
"ALL Of Me(1979)" was not Takanaka's original album, but it’s a compilation album as his first”greatest hits“album released on June 21, 1979. This compilation album picked up popular songs from takanaka's 1st solo album to 4th solo album(1976-1978), and it was his first "early yeares greatest Best hits" album in Japan. Included and picked-up tracks from the following four original albums from his early “Japan Kitty Records” era:
First solo album "Seychelles" Released July 1, 1976 (Japan only) Second solo album "TAKANAKA" Released on March 5, 1977 (Japan only) Third solo album "AN INSATIABLE HIGH" Released December 1, 1977 (Japan only) Fourth solo album "Brazilian Skies" Released July 21, 1978 (Japan only) This compilation was released the following year in 1979, before the release of his 5th solo "Jolly Jive" (his biggest hit album in Japan). Unfortunately, the biggest hit songs that defined his popularity in Japan, "Blue Lagoon", was not included in this "ALL Of Me" . Takanaka was different from other jazz guitarists. It might be because of his background. Takanaka was a guitarist originally from the rock field and was not a pure jazz fusion guitarist. Takanaka made his debut with the Rock band ”Fried Egg” and ”Sadistic Mika Band”, and during his time in the "Mika Band"(1972-1975), he also made two albums "Black Ship" (1974) and "Hot Menu" (1975) with "Chris Thomas", the sound supervisor of " Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (1973)". ua-cam.com/video/mLj7FSJGUrY/v-deo.html After that Takanaka became more fusion from his first solo album, The "Seychelles"(1976). It was a special career of him and that's what made him unique.
I think Takanaka's studio is catching on to his growing popularity here. I hope it's an indication that they plan to do rereleases and that it's not just take downs for it's own sake. I cant find An Insatiable High anymore in its entirety and that makes me a sad panda.
I put this album on for the first time in Pittsburgh, PA in 2022, and by the end of it I was windsurfing off the coast of São Paulo, and was being interviewed for an article in the June 1976 issue of Playboy.
i played this album on my father's public transportation jeep and its like summer riding with your father and you got these strangers in the back coming with you and vibing with the song

¡Salchicas y Musica hombre! ¡Me encanta el verano si! ¡Funk futuro de por vida!
i felt the depression physically run off my body on the first major strum of the guitar in the first track
I often use this album to de stress and unload my depression from my shoulders
That first riff really is the cure to to all negative emotions
This music is the pure embodiment of happiness and joy.
It gave me chills as soon as it started
hardest photo taken in the 70s
Hard.
This guy legit can't make a bad track.
this made me laugh
What's up with UA-cam randomly recommending old Japanese albums? I've never ever heard of Takanaka ever before, and now I'm in love with his work
It's probably the anime pfp, UA-cam knows
its not random lmfao you keep clicking on them. so it keeps showing you them. thats how algorithms work 😭
Shut up weeb
you're so cool

The first one got me a little teary eyed
It has such a happy vibe but made me sad for some reason
@@roardinoson7 That's exactly how I felt
"ALL Of Me(1979)" was not Takanaka's original album, but it’s a compilation album as his first”greatest hits“album released on June 21, 1979.
This compilation album picked up popular songs from takanaka's 1st solo album to 4th solo album(1976-1978), and it was his first "early yeares greatest Best hits" album in Japan.
Included and picked-up tracks from the following four original albums from his early “Japan Kitty Records” era:
First solo album "Seychelles" Released July 1, 1976 (Japan only)
Second solo album "TAKANAKA" Released on March 5, 1977 (Japan only)
Third solo album "AN INSATIABLE HIGH" Released December 1, 1977 (Japan only)
Fourth solo album "Brazilian Skies" Released July 21, 1978 (Japan only)
This compilation was released the following year in 1979, before the release of his 5th solo "Jolly Jive" (his biggest hit album in Japan). Unfortunately, the biggest hit songs that defined his popularity in Japan, "Blue Lagoon", was not included in this "ALL Of Me" .

After that Takanaka became more fusion from his first solo album, The "Seychelles"(1976).
It was a special career of him and that's what made him unique.
Thanks for the write-up, I just got into Takanaka's catalogue and this was a good bit of info!
Just found this guy.i live on an island . Blasting this from my doorless Jeep made it even more fantastic. 11/10
Screw your great life
1:09:11 I had a little heart attack here
BRUH ME TOO IM LISTENING TO THIS LATE AT NIGHT AND STARTED CRYING
I thought my phone got damaged or something lol
Was looking for this, really thought my computer crashed for a sec
same
It's rare when you can actually FEEL someone's happiness through their music.
1:09:10 I remember the iconic sounds of eternal damnation in Takanaka's songs. Definitely one of his more unique instruments
His songs really do bring out the void.
When nostalgia hits a little too hard.
he isn't sky diving, he is sky flying
Falling with style
I have found this amazing man on march 27 2024, on his birthday. thank god for that
I had a bad mood.
Now I don't.
Oh! Tengo suerte... Tengo suerte de haber conocido a Tanaka.
bro thank you for the re upload i was getting emotional that i couldnt find it anymore lmfao
I think Takanaka's studio is catching on to his growing popularity here. I hope it's an indication that they plan to do rereleases and that it's not just take downs for it's own sake.
I cant find An Insatiable High anymore in its entirety and that makes me a sad panda.
Same here... I swear.
my favorite guitarist and i would've never known him if not for youtube
time to go to Japan and dig the crates

This is the Beach's album of choice.
what a nice person. Love him.
Having a rough week at work and this has literally saved my life
hang in there merry christmas
Jesus man...
music has the power to do that
" hmm...
... maybe it's not ALL bad, after all "
Such an insane album. It's impossible to be depressed while listening to it.
After comparing many versions, I found that the sound quality of this video is the best.
Based audiophile
Even with the weird distortion on the 1:09 hour mark?
everytime i listen to this album i genuinely do feel like i am takanaka in that picture. 10/10 album
i played this album on my father's public transportation jeep
and its like summer riding with your father and you got these strangers in the back coming with you and vibing with the song
LoL 😆 the Imperial March and SW theme with bongos and kazoo is really something!
Literally the Heaven's album
The first song it's so chill, i can vibe while doing anything else
Vibes have never been so immaculate.
I feel like this song has always existed somewhere because although I’ve never heard it before it feels like I’m coming home 🏡
Agreed. It does feel like home.

They removed this because of the song "Sexy Dance" which is protected heavily by Sony since it's a heavily monetized song by Masayoshi
the sad thing is that is not in all platforms tho :(

Broooo you listen to this baked asf an you realize he's not skydiving an he's actually just ascending 😮
