blame capitalism. if everyone's needs met regardless of their race or labor and more on the basis of simply being a human to be taken care of we would have more time to actually live life. more time for art, scientific discoveries, new expressions through music and entertainment. communism must win fellow life lover
I'm unsure what it is, but Takanaka has a unique ability to invoke joy through his playing. More than just a "yeah, this is cool", like a "yeah, life is great" kinda joy. Truly one of the greats
You should check out his compilation All Of Me, it's some of his tracks (which are great) with him skydiving, thumbs up, in front of an island. Trust me, he might be the coolest man in the world.
A Turko-Mongolic ruler erects a building in India, an Italian explorer explores a new land, Africans brought there by Portuguese, a Brazilian man who is one of descendant of these Africans makes a song about this building, a Japanese man who has a Chinese father makes a cover of this song. History and world is just crazy! Music truly brings us together.
The man shredding on his Cuíca is underrated. Such a fun instrument to hear and I love seeing that guy having an absolute blast with it. He even gets his own solo!
i was astound that he does that with the inside of the drum, its crazy talent and he looks so happy! (if not a little derpy). That he can make a laughing sound in the original solo number is crazy and still makes me so happy and emotional. this al is just so great, my god.
As an American, I'm ashamed of my country that we lack the cultural respect for artists and just celebrities in general. The people in Asia, Europe, etc know how to be fans without being fanatics and I wish even a shred of that civility and courtesy could be infused in the people here.
@@cultus_diabolus Lmao it happens in Japan too. I’ve been to a few shows where people go absolutely crazy and try to get on stage, that’s just the way things are. Jazz and jazz fusion shows usually have more mellow crowds, both in the US and in Japan.
I'm in the psych ward rn. Watching this truly gives me hope that once I'm out of here I can hopefully feel better. Masayoshi Takanaka is one of my favorite artists and seeing the pure joy of everyone performing here makes me smile.
I hope you can come out of it strong! His music really does wonders in making my mood feel better. I'm just a stranger on the internet, but I wish you the best in recovering! Much love ❤
This is like the song that you always hear in you head when you're living one of the best moments of your life... it has to end at any moment, but you enjoyed it.
I did some research and I was able to find credits for some of the other musicians. Drums: Masahiro Miyazaki (8:37) Percussion: Nobu Saito (8:58) Bass: Hideki Matsubara (8:15) Keyboards: Hiroyuki Namba (9:21), Makoto Aoyagi (7:46) Some of them still perform with Takanaka, or at least they have in recent shows. Edit, thank you to the people who found the rest. Cuíca: Damião Gomes de Souza (9:44) Surdo: Kaká Nomura Pandeiros: Dario Sakumoto, Juninho Martins
If you find the name of the cuica player please don’t be a stranger :) feel like I’ve seen him before in one of jorge ben’s live performances of taj mahal.
I'm so fucking happy I clicked on "all of me" randomly... Masayoshi is quickly becoming one of my favorite musicians I've ever heard. Man is just groovy. End of story.
Music is art, everything is art. Joy can be interpreted by music. You can say that the music of him sounds like it has been made with tons amount of joy and i can only agree, its perfect. The plain straight up reason for music right here, this is how music should be done
I couldn't say it any better myself. From the very first song I heard from Masayoshi I knew he was a happy soul and wanted to spread his joy through his music.
No better words. I tear up every time I see this comment, thinking about all the different people you can find under any videos of him all expressing their universal love for his work. There is no language barrier it's all just one happiness, one heart, all joy
when the song started, I started crying immediately. That was my older cousin's fav and when I was a kid I live in his apartment during summer time I always hear this song. He played games with me and brought me to play basketball. He died 2007, cerebral hemorrhage caused by falling from stairs when he was 26 years old, and now Im 32. The rhythm of an endless loop
I also connect many songs to memories in my life. Your cousin sounds like he was a great guy. Keep this song and your fond memories of him throughout your life. Cheers~
You have to appreciate a man who can put together a show where not a single musician on the stage isn't having the time of their lives. Nobody be havin' fun like older musicians making something like nothing you've ever heard before while simultaneously exactly like everything nostalgic from 50 years ago.
it looks like that (probably in their contract to smile) but most of the band is stuck in repetitive motion to lay down the backing for Takanaka. Jam bands have the musicians interact with each other and develop the song in that moment.
@@papa_pt did we watch the same video? Everyone is improvising fills all over the place and they all get individual solos save for a couple. Believe it or not, some people just love making music.
@@papa_pt I only started playing recently and I've never been in a band but to be part of something that's making that big of a crowd that happy I'm pretty sure everyone is enjoying it, even the tambourine and other percussionists who I think you're referring to.
Now this is what pure “cool” is, I think it’s pretty hard to find exact embodiments or examples of “real cool” but this is damn well one of those examples. The whole stage is “real cool”, hell it seems like every single person there is “real cool”. Strive to be that cool , please.
Just because you have a bunch of people on stage playing “percussion” doesn’t mean it’s any good. Go listen to some fela kuti if you want to hear some actual talent

Um bando de japonês estiloso tocando um sambinha foda e um cara tocando uma guitarra esculpida dentro de uma prancha de surf. É. Era disso que eu tava precisando. Obrigado Takanaka.
Takanaka might be the raddest dude to have ever lived, that surfboard guitar is amazing. Shoutout to his whole band too, excellent performances all around.
alright youtube, it took me a few years to click on the video with the guy playing a surf-tar but i finally did it, and it's beautiful. And you know what? I did it at precisely the right time what a heavenly set.
Dude, I came across this video randomly when UA-cam auto-played one time while my wife and I were watching videos, and it blew me away. I ended up looking up the rest of the set, and this entire 2008 show is phenomenal and I'm totally enthralled and amazed by it. I don't even really dig instrumental music - but the expertise in the art is undeniable.
@@_mariko791 If I recall, I was having a conversation with my Wife and we sort of just let it play - but the Cuica (the instrument that kind of sounds like a monkey hooting or a squeaking noise) caught my attention, because I heard that instrument all over the soundtrack for Mario Sunshine. And as the video played my wife and I were both like, "wow this sounds like something straight out of Mario Sunshine" lolol. Very tropical feeling. It felt like the track was leading up to something too - so we watched in anticipation and what do you know, some dude with a surfboard guitar walked out from nowhere and I was amazed. 😂
Tanaka's the homie from the iconic parachuting album art right? I've gotten a couple other albums recommended it's awesome to see him still kicking and killing it! 🤙
@@cuthead2209 All his albums are gold and most are up on UA-cam too! A good place to start would be Seychelles, An Insatiable High, The Rainbow Goblins, The White Goblin, On Guitar.
Não tem o que dizer, esse vídeo é simplesmente lendário! Esse Masayoshi deve ser muito apaixonado pela cultura brasileira, até um álbum com nome brasileiro ele fez(Brasilian Skies).. O cara é simplesmente genial, além de tocar muita guitarra, suas músicas são todas alegres e contagiantes. Ele merece ser mais reconhecido pelos brasileiros, porque no japão o cara é uma lenda! Vale a pena conferir o trabalho dele!
@@ecleticralph4314 Então mano, tem coisa boa demais que essas japaz fizeram. Vou te recomendar mais um, se tu gostar de Jazz e som vintage, esse álbum que aqui é um verdadeiro tesouro! ua-cam.com/video/kjxxVkSd0XA/v-deo.html

from about 3:49 to 4:20 ish is the sound for my alarm clock every morning. i’ve heard people say “don’t put your favourite song as an alarm because you’ll ruin it for yourself” but even when i’m waking up hungover, knowing that only my morning shit, 1 mcdonalds breakfast stop and a 10 minute drive stand in between me in my cozy hotel bed and me climbing a shitty cold cell tower 300ft up i still get up so happy every day because of this song. it still remains my favourite so everyone else was just buggin
This song is truly a Mystical experience and to imagine that if we existed without the internet these gems wouldn't be within our grasp... MAN WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@StrunkZdLi swear to god honesty the JP Bossa Nova scene is absolutely insane too My favorite project from that genre is shibayan records' Toho Bossa Nova 1

Man i gotta tell you I’ve been feeling soulless and apathetic for a bit but after coming across .. seeing him come out with his surfboard guitar brings joy to my soul , I feel again .

if you look and persists in looking you will find happiness, you have found momentary happiness. keep on looking my friend
Yesss, they shared the spotlight 🔥
so true... best part

I think Takanaka thought:
"This fucking world is consumed by hate, I'm going to brighten it with my music."
nyo-ho! amém irmão
"This world is falling apart due to hatred. I'm gonna brighten it up with music, Brazil and a surfboard!"

That's the thing about samba, it's a melancholic happiness. The genre from which samba originated is called chorinho which means little cry.
Maybe reminds you about nostalgic feeling about freedom and happiness which now you throw it away for money or rat race?

Keyboardists rarely play a single keyboard. Here he has an organ and two synths.
Hate to be that guy, but it's extremely common. Most organ/synth players I've played with usually have a minimum of 2, usually 3
How about the dude playing 10 drums at once? Living every moment
I love when black guy makes smile while he plays his instrument. His pure smile makes me so happy
Um bando de japonês estiloso tocando um sambinha foda e um cara tocando uma guitarra esculpida dentro de uma prancha de surf. É. Era disso que eu tava precisando. Obrigado Takanaka.
Obrigado Takanaka.
Arigatô.
Obrigado Takanaka.
Obrigado Takanaka.
obrigado Takanaka
been having a hard week, coming back and seeing that smile helps me alot
Considering this is live the sound production is amazing
Takanaka might be the raddest dude to have ever lived, that surfboard guitar is amazing. Shoutout to his whole band too, excellent performances all around.
This guy is still performing, I am going to Japan next year and my goal is to go to one of his amazing performaces!
I'm aiming to do that next year, I'm hoping its not too difficult to book tickets
I've never seen an ensemble have that much fun while playing! Everyone looks like they're having the time of their lives!
alright youtube, it took me a few years to click on the video with the guy playing a surf-tar but i finally did it, and it's beautiful. And you know what? I did it at precisely the right time what a heavenly set.
Dude, I came across this video randomly when UA-cam auto-played one time while my wife and I were watching videos, and it blew me away. I ended up looking up the rest of the set, and this entire 2008 show is phenomenal and I'm totally enthralled and amazed by it. I don't even really dig instrumental music - but the expertise in the art is undeniable.
what made you watch and finish the video when you watched it for the first time?
@@_mariko791 If I recall, I was having a conversation with my Wife and we sort of just let it play - but the Cuica (the instrument that kind of sounds like a monkey hooting or a squeaking noise) caught my attention, because I heard that instrument all over the soundtrack for Mario Sunshine. And as the video played my wife and I were both like, "wow this sounds like something straight out of Mario Sunshine" lolol. Very tropical feeling. It felt like the track was leading up to something too - so we watched in anticipation and what do you know, some dude with a surfboard guitar walked out from nowhere and I was amazed. 😂
this man rly pulled up wit a surf board, wut a legend
Tanaka's the homie from the iconic parachuting album art right? I've gotten a couple other albums recommended it's awesome to see him still kicking and killing it! 🤙
yeah tell me
@@cuthead2209 All his albums are gold and most are up on UA-cam too! A good place to start would be Seychelles, An Insatiable High, The Rainbow Goblins, The White Goblin, On Guitar.
Same here ... I first got into the skydiving one
Hell yeah. All his album covers are sick
rainbow goblins goes so hard
Não tem o que dizer, esse vídeo é simplesmente lendário! Esse Masayoshi deve ser muito apaixonado pela cultura brasileira, até um álbum com nome brasileiro ele fez(Brasilian Skies)..
O cara é simplesmente genial, além de tocar muita guitarra, suas músicas são todas alegres e contagiantes. Ele merece ser mais reconhecido pelos brasileiros, porque no japão o cara é uma lenda!
Vale a pena conferir o trabalho dele!
Eu ouvi alguns albuns dele man muito bom
Sim cara, descobri ele essa semana kkkk To ouvindo todos os dias
@@ecleticralph4314 Então mano, tem coisa boa demais que essas japaz fizeram.
Vou te recomendar mais um, se tu gostar de Jazz e som vintage, esse álbum que aqui é um verdadeiro tesouro!

@@angelogomesmundocorre3986 Top demais kkk eu sou cadas risada do som deles.. Aquela Star Wars Samba mesmo eu ri demais, mas é pela genialidade dos caras.. Sim ritmo complexo e os caras dibulhando nos instrumentais.
Vou recomendar outro álbum se um japa pra tu, é outro cara lendário! Se gostar de Jazz e som vintage, esse álbum aqui com certeza irá te impressionar!
ua-cam.com/video/kjxxVkSd0XA/v-deo.html
Caso alguém aí queira mais material do Masayoshi, só deixar o número que envio o catálogo dele. Achei alguns álbuns em flac original de CDs dele. Top demais!
Eu sou de Brasil e digo e repito, essa música é uma obra de arte..
Deveria ser patrimônio nacional
@@nordestinoaleatorio623Patrimônio Japonês e Brasileiro, eu apoio
@@anotherdnb bota patrimônio mundial logo, TAKANAKA não fez UMA música ruim nesse álbum
Masayoshi é um gênio da guitarra
from about 3:49 to 4:20 ish is the sound for my alarm clock every morning.
i’ve heard people say “don’t put your favourite song as an alarm because you’ll ruin it for yourself”
but even when i’m waking up hungover, knowing that only my morning shit, 1 mcdonalds breakfast stop and a 10 minute drive stand in between me in my cozy hotel bed and me climbing a shitty cold cell tower 300ft up i still get up so happy every day because of this song. it still remains my favourite so everyone else was just buggin
Something about Japanese keyboard music is pure magic
Pretty nostalgic and sad.
The ending arc where they just go around showcasing solos was so fantastic oh my god
I really appreciate the dozen or so middle aged guys jamming like middle school girls in the front without shame
What always gets me is the absolute glee he has on his face when he walks on stage. Dude is living the fucking dreaaaaam
This song is truly a Mystical experience and to imagine that if we existed without the internet these gems wouldn't be within our grasp... MAN WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brasil + Japan = Best music u could ever hear
@@StrunkZdLi swear to god honesty
the JP Bossa Nova scene is absolutely insane too
My favorite project from that genre is shibayan records' Toho Bossa Nova 1
Takanaka's music can only portray the image that he's a good guy who wants to share his tunes with the world
Takanaka is one of the most amazing musicians that ever existed.....hat's off to the Man with the guitar!
This man is living the absolute best life one can live with a surf board guitar
Cringe
so you’re telling me the squawking was just the inside of a drum
I'M SHOCKED
it’s a cuica. that dude is fire i love him
Aqui todos amamos o Takanaka.
外国からのコメント多数で高中正義ファンとしてとても嬉しい限りです！
Takanaka makes good music after all :D
As a brazilian enjoying his music, this feels odd! Japanese samba played on a guitar surfboard... and it's good!
Takanaka is the embodiment of 'good vibes'. Always in such a good mood. I'm feeling quite Takanakaish today!
What’s is the name of this song I have had the pleasure of listening to
@@wanderer803 Its just called Taj Mahal, although the version that isn't live is super different. Still amazing though. He's got tons of absolute bops
The best video on the internet
This makes me so happy as a brazilian, i feel ashamed to never have listened to this, its incredible how well he could represent brazil as a whole on a song, the happyness, the sudden rhytmn changes and new instruments throughout the song, OBRIGADO❤️
brazilian music is something else
i absolutely love the grooves and good vibes
kinda ironic when my favorite song from brazil is ipanema
When a Japanese Ojii-san came up to the stage playing surf-guitar and 4:02 his hair went blown away by his own coolness, you know it's mood.
Por mais que esse país ta cheio de problemas, eu fico muito feliz quando temos reconhecimento de fora. Obrigado pelo carinho Takanaka!
This song is 43 years old. Timeless.

What’s the song title??
@@malikpinckney9171there are two songs being played in this video. “Beleza Pula” (sic) by Masayoshi Takanaka and “Taj Mahal” by Jorge Ben Jor
@@malikpinckney9171Title is “Beleza Pula”.
What an entrance
What the barnacle
I love this concert. Not only Takanaka has a childish emotion of happiness, everyone from here and there feels the same. I love you, we love you.
AND WE LOVE YOU, MATE 🗣🔥🔥🔥
サーフボード型のギターって出オチ用だったんだ
I agree
I agree too
i agree to
音悪いのもおもろいw
ストラト良き◎
agree
every time I think Takanaka is awesome he just pulls out a surfboard guitar and makes me love him even more
When the camera panned up to the moon early, I was expecting Takanaka to be parachuting down...
Hands down the coolest guy on the entire planet
Man i gotta tell you I’ve been feeling soulless and apathetic for a bit but after coming across .. seeing him come out with his surfboard guitar brings joy to my soul , I feel again .
Listen to Jorge Ben Jor since this piece is his music later used by Mr. Takanaka and contributed some portion to his song
Man.. same. This whole song is just so happy and makes me feel so intense. Fusion jazz just has this way of making you feel what you want to feel.
