These clippings are perfect for framing, scrapbooking, or as primary research material for guitar enthusiasts and City Pop historians.
Masayoshi Takanaka: The tropical guitar wizard. During the late 70s and early 80s, Takanaka was at the height of his "Blue Lagoon" fame. His collaboration with Western legends like Lee Ritenour cemented his status as a world-class musician. These pages capture him during his most influential years.
Vibe: 1970s-80s Tokyo Studio Magic, High-End Audio Nostalgia, and technical guitar talk.
Recommendation: If you collect vintage guitar gear (Maxon/Ibanez) or Japanese Audiophile history (Pioneer), these advertisements are iconic pieces of art.
To hear the tone discussed in these 1977 clippings, search for "Masayoshi Takanaka & Lee Ritenour live" on YouTube to see their incredible chemistry on stage.
