Masayoshi Takanaka

✨ About this release

Takanaka in full showman mode. All of Me (1980) captures the guitarist at the height of his powers —
a compilation album that feels bigger than life, built on energy, precision, and pure joy.
Reissued in Japan, it’s a snapshot of fusion excess that still feels electric.

🎧 Musical style

Glittering guitar runs over tight rhythm sections; disco grooves meeting tropical riffs;
extended jams that shift from playful to virtuosic in a breath.
Strings cascade, the bass locks in, and Takanaka’s tone cuts through it all — bright, bold, unstoppable.
A celebration of jazz-funk, city-pop sparkle, and free-fall charisma.
