Tatsuro Yamashita says in the song description section of the liner notes for his "FOR YOU" album. “A song like “FUTARI” (Two of Us) would not have been possible without Hiroshi Sato's piano. The crescendo at the end of the interlude has the piano rolling and swaying wildly. It's an amazingly expressive performance by him." TATSURO also said the following in a radio special in remembrance of Hiroshi Sato when he passed away in 2012. “Hiroshi Sato was a great help to me in the mid-1970s, recording my solo albums and many of Mariya Takeuchi's works. I think he is one of the leading keyboard players in postwar Japan. He was one of my most beloved keyboard players.“ Tatsuro expresses his respect for Hiroshi Sato by saying, "I have to say that Hiroshi Sato's keyboards are the best in the world.“ He also said, "I think Hiroshi Sato's keyboard ideas are wonderful, like the sense of piano grease in the middle of LOVESPACE, which you just heard, and the intro with a little pickup, which he suddenly started playing on the recording. In Mariya Takeuchi's "Cheer Up,（GENKI o DASHITE）" he does not play the keyboard for the first four bars. Even after the introduction of live guitar, bass, and drums, his keyboard doesn't appear (laughs). That was completely Sato's idea, and he was full of ideas in that area. He really helped me a lot in the creation of my piece. Without Sato's piano, many of my pieces would not have been born.“ He was so struck by Sato's piano at the first sighting that he wanted him to play it in his own compositions someday. “I first saw Hiroshi Sato play the piano when I was still in ”Sugar Babe“. There was a small live house in “the Shinjuku Pit Inn” neighborhood during a Sugar Babe concert, and that is where I saw him play for the first time. They were a unit called “Original The Dylan” from Osaka, The drummer was Toshiaki Hayashi, the bass player was Akihiro Tanaka, the guitarist was Chosei Ishida, and the keyboardist was “Hiroshi Sato”. The performance of the four rhythms was so good that it was shocking to those of us who had been playing in bands in Tokyo. （I was so shocked that I could not sleep all night.） Especially the keyboardist, Mr. Sato, and the guitarist, Mr. Chosei Ishida, were playing things that we had given up on from the beginning because we thought that Japanese people probably could not do such things (laughs). I was shocked at that. That was an incredible shock to me. Later, he formed a band called “Huckle back” with Shigeru Suzuki, and I was thinking that if I became a solo artist someday, I would definitely ask Sato to play keyboards, and it came true with my second album “SPACY” in 1977. The very first session was on my song “LOVESPACE."

懐かしい貴重な映像のupありがとうございます。この少し前まではDr林立夫氏Ba美久月千春氏で六本木PITINNで月一ライブされてましたね～ 至近距離で林氏の太鼓が聴けるのが楽しくてほぼ毎月通ってました。美久月氏が海外逃亡？されてた時に高水氏がトラでBaに入られたライブは今でもよく覚えてます。
Tシャツ100名様にプレゼントって、さすがこの時代！
菅野さんモテただろうな～カワイイもんな～♪
彼がＹＭＯを承諾してたら、また違った展開になっていたかも😮
Legend
Grande músico ! vá em paz, mestre.
Ele já foi tem quase 10 anos, mas fica eternizado em cada canção e a tendência é cada vez mais gente conhecendo essa lenda.
Buena música
ハックルバックのlive観られた幸せ🎉皆様早逝な方が多い 自分の番も来るわなぁ
Admiro mucho la cultura japonesa ojalá pudiera conocer alguna mujer de ese país!!
너무 좋네! 도대체 이 시기 일본 음악계에 무슨 일이 있었던 거야?
今もこの時代と同じぐらい良いよ！ここ10年ぐらいの邦楽のインディーはほんとに素晴らしい。
Doesn’t the instrumental for love is the answer sound like Hatsu koi by Tashiki Kadomatsu ?
素敵🤍🤞🏼
Is that Patrice Rushen singing on track 2?

メンバー すご！

サディスティックミカバンドもそうだけど、メンバーが凄い
Japanese music really is the best music ever made.
Wow. Incredible !
Can we talk about the all star "support band" please? Yoko Kanno??!! Yuji Toriyama?!! lol, ridiculous...
For us, it is a once in a lifetime Japanese All-Star band. But for Hiroshi Sato, it was Tuesday.
とんでもない

All I know is the lady Keyboardist is Yoko Kanno.
@@DIEGhostfishfunny that was the only one I picked up on as well 🙂
Wonder what their saying
You dont speak english?
何も言い様がないメンバー陣

すごいメンバーなんですが、佐藤さんはフェンダーローズとピアノを弾いていた頃の方が良かった。デジタルを使うようになって個性がなくなった。
錚々たる顔ぶれだ！
