Takkyu Ishino’s Best and Popular Songs (31–40)

Ghost in the Shell (Original Mix)Takkyu Ishino

This track was made for a PlayStation game.

It’s a hard, minimal sound that was ahead of its time in the scene back then—now it feels old-school, but it should still work on the dance floor.

You can also stream the Ghost in the Shell films, so listening to this track while revisiting the works will make them even more enjoyable.

MONKEY MAGICIshino Takkyu

In Toyota’s Yaris series commercial “DANCE WITH YARIS,” four artists each sing Godiego’s 1978 release “Monkey Magic” in their own arrangements.

In the version by Takkyu Ishino—active as both a musician and a music producer—you can enjoy an arrangement that fully showcases his specialty: techno sound.

It features an irresistibly upbeat melody that’s perfect not only as driving BGM but also for dancing, just like in the commercial.

Be sure to check out the original track as well as the other artists’ arrangements!
