My Revolver 2023

Rainbow Was Reborn

Raspberry Dream

I was happy to see the announcement of a new song by the Kessoku Band, so I played from last year's their album.

フラッシュバッカー(Flashbacker)

This is an unusual acoustic guitar solo from Masayoshi Takanaka's album "The Rainbow Goblins. The acoustic guitar solo is a well thought out phrase, and seems to make heavy use of the first and second strings to get a nice resonance. The fast phrases are a bit unsuccessful. The Yamaha SG only plays an obbligato-like melody, but it is an impressive phrase.

The Sunset Valley

I played Seven Goblins by Masayoshi Takanaka. At the time, I was like, "How can you play this fast?" I was surprised at that time. 
Well, it is not easy for me to play this even now.

Seven Goblins

Just Chuckle

Most of the performance was MIDI input, but I did manage to play some songs from the album "Seven Goblins", I tried to reproduce the opening track of the album.

I got the 50th anniversary model of BOSS's Blues Driver2 and tried it out on this song.

With A Little Help From My Friends

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

I bought a new Stratocaster type guitar, so I replayed this song that goes well with the Stratocaster.

Once Upon A Song

I purchased the traditional Ibanez overdrive, the Tube Screamer TS808HW, and tried it out on this song. It is hand-wired with carefully selected wiring and internal components, offering a wider headroom compared to the conventional Tube Screamer and even capable of producing sounds somewhat similar to the BOSS BD-2.

Finger Dancin'

I played a messy version of “Void(空の箱),” an insert song from the now-popular Japanese anime “Girls Band Cry.

My Revolver 2024

Void(空の箱)

I played the song ‘SPACE WAGON’ from Takana Masayoshi’s EP ‘Finger Dancin’.’ I remember it being used as an insert song for the anime ‘Return of Lum, Urusei Yatsura’ and as a commercial song for Mazda 3 at the time.

SPACE WAGON

I played this song, which sounds like 80s Japanese fusion, because I like the interplay between the distorted tone and the clean tone of the lead guitar. I played the riff with a Fernandes Stratocaster type, the clean tone with an Epiphone Casino, and the distorted tone with an Aria ProII PE-1500. For the feedback technique at the end, I used a BOSS DF-2, which can simulate feedback.

Feedback's Feel

Since the summer was so hot, I played this song, which was a hit in Japan in 1987.

世界でいちばん熱い夏(The Hottest Summer In the World)

Today marks the 33rd anniversary of Freddie Mercury's passing. In Japanese Buddhist tradition, it's believed that after 33 years, a departed soul can reach the Pure Land—a state of ultimate peace and enlightenment. I've performed this song in his honor.

JUMPING TAKE OFF

On a gentle May afternoon, basking in the soft sunlight, I leisurely enjoyed my recently purchased AC Booster V2 with my Stratocaster. This simple moment might just be the greatest luxury for me.

We Are All Alone - 20250427

Yesterday I uploaded a version with just simple piano accompaniment, but this time I've created a complete version with full instrumentation and added the first half that was missing in yesterday's take. It was something I casually played on a weekend afternoon, but I wanted to share the fully realized vision as well.

We Are All Alone - Downtempo version

This track is a demo played for evaluating Free The Tone's effect pedal, Overdriveland.

We Are All Alone - Overdriveland

I tried playing Stevie Nicks' famous song from Fleetwood Mac that I used to listen to often on the radio when I was a student.
I was reminded of this song after hearing about my family's hardships over the weekend, which shocked me. Though I don't fully understand the true meaning of this song, to me it seems to express determination in the face of fear of collapse and anxiety about the future.
