This is a guitar instrumental album released by Masayoshi Takanaka from Victor in 1978. It is one of the "PROFESSIONAL HIGH-TECHNIQUE SERIES" for instrument instruction

following Tsugutoshi Goto's "On Bass" and Hiro Tsunoda's "On Drums". Yukihiro Takahashi (drums), Robert Brill (drums), Haruomi Hosono (bass), Getao Takahashi (bass), Pecker (percussion),

Motoya Hamaguchi (percussion) and others participated. The first track, "Breezy" by Bobby Womack, was a worldwide hit on subscription services.

The original song "Rainbow" that is only included on this album and a different version of The Sadistics' "Blue Curacao" are also rare. This is a must-have album for fusion/rock fans,

featuring great covers of famous songs by Billy Joel, Perez Prado, Santana, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Boz Scaggs.
