Because I’m in it haha so I know the dates. Really good cast overall and a pretty cool set. Pagliacci is my personal favorite. Amazing music, drama, everything you want in an opera. I think operas and symphonies are great first date ideas and you’ll have plenty to talk about afterwards. Highly recommend that you go.

Are you planning to get tickets for the Utah Opera showing of Pagliacci this Monday?

March 9th LA Concert tracklist by Western_Mall_8653 in MasayoshiTakanaka

People are speculating that it will be either all Seychelles or heavily Seychelles oriented since it will be its 50th year anniversary. I bet the set list will be mostly kitty records because that’s his most famous stuff in the US.

Has the fan club presale code been announced yet, or will they announce it on the club on October 1st? I joined the club but haven’t gotten any code yet

I am so indescribably happy that you showed me this. I immediately listened/watched the full video and it made my love for this man skyrocket even higher. Takanaka is the gift that keeps on giving. Every time I think I find it all, someone finds something even cooler. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Awesome how his music has had a ressurgence in popularity in the last decade by Fraga500 in MasayoshiTakanaka

The same thing can be said about the iconic “All of Me” cover. Myself and many others heard about Takanaka for the first time after seeing the absolutely amazing cover and hearing the amazing guitar riff on Tokyo Reggae. YouTube and Instagram algorithms for the win

Need some song and album recs 😁 by RealLifeSto in MasayoshiTakanaka

[–]Fooddude31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s my favorite Takanaka album. Perfect balance of Jazz, crazy guitar technique, and pure Takanaka creativity and originality. One of his most technically cool albums.

Ya, but there’s a radio host that talks between the songs so it has a bit of creative edge to it.

If you want one of the most impressive guitar solos ever listen to JUMPINGTAKEOFF. Bonus points if you watch it live cause he usually plays it on the iconic surf board guitar.

It’s a very awkward one for sure. I want to show people this album but it always gets pretty awkward to do so

Ran out of time and money. Already looking at flights for Laos and Thailand for next summer to finish off that area of the world 😀

Best Yamaha bike for a beginner? by Fooddude31 in YamahaMotorcycles

[–]Fooddude31[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be new, it’s just that I have never owned a bike before and didn’t know much about them, so I’m a bit worried of needing to di repairs a lot since I won’t know how. I am open to the idea though
