TAKANAKA SUPER LIVE 2020 Rainbow Finger Dancin’＠LINE CUBE SHIBUYA

This is a piece by guitarist Masayoshi Takanaka that evokes a bright, seaside atmosphere.

It was also the song that helped propel Takanaka to fame.

Chosen for a Pioneer stereo commercial, it features a refreshing sound that conjures images of a car speeding along the coastline.

The bustling Latin percussion in the background conveys the fun of the beach and the heat of summer.

While the piece is centered around the guitar’s tone, the keyboard—ringing out in a call-and-response with the guitar—also seems to accentuate the music’s lively, joyful mood.
