Larry and Tak Winning Grammy – Filmed From a Different Perspective
Tak Matsumoto News I’m not sure everyone has noticed, but when Carlton and Matsumoto make their way to the stage, there’s a person behind them holding a camera in his hand. He is probably recording the whole thing. Just take a look at this picture here:
Now… the video filmed by this guy has surfaced on YouTube. It’s now even on Larry Carlton’s official channel, so I guess it is not a problem to post it here. What you can see is, well, Tak Matsumoto’s wife in the kimono Kahori Yamagata designed (see my other post). Just see for yourself:
And The Grammy Goes To…

Kimono For The Grammys
Tak Matsumoto News One person, namely Kahori Yamagata, was entrusted with designing a kimono for the family members of a Japanese person who has been nominated for the Grammys. Who might that person be? Of course, everyone can figure from these pictures, that it has to be Tak Matsumoto. Any Tak fan would recognize this emblem. The kimono contains platinum features which makes it look really, really great.
One more day to go!!
Matsumoto Attending Grammys
Tak Matsumoto News This week’s sunday might become a great day in his career. Whose career you might ask? Well of course we are talking about guitar virtuoso and B’z founder Tak Matsumoto. The album he created with Larry Carlton, entitled “TAKE YOUR PICK”, was previously nominated for the Grammys in the category “Best Pop Instrumental Album”.
Indications have surfaced on the internet that Tak Matsumoto will attend the Grammy Awards 2010 with his wife. According to a tweet by “Chiyo Hiraoka” (*Update: looks like the tweet was deleted by her) – a singer and songwriter – she picked a suitable head accessory for Tak Matsumoto’s wife for the occasion. Also, X JAPAN’s YOSHIKI stated in a recent report “Ah, I have to attend the Grammy Awards this weekend. I voted for Tak Matsumoto.”
I hope you are all looking forward to seeing Tak Matsumoto on sunday! I personally am going to watch it on TV and will update you as soon as there is news about Tak Matsumoto. Also, I might get to record the show, should there be a speech.
Best of luck to Mr. Matsumoto and Mr. Carlton!
Tak Matsumoto Special Guest at Mari Hamada Concert
Tak Matsumoto News So… I wanted to see Tak Matsumoto playing with Mari Hamada again. So I looked for the old video of his performance of BLUE REVOLUTION which dates back to before B’z debuted. What did I find? Well… apparently Tak Matsumoto came up as a special guest in Mari Hamada’s 2010 “Aestetica” tour 25th Anniversary tour “On the wing” which was released on DVD on April 15th, 2009. Good to see the old duo together again for a song. Enjoy!
And here’s the video I was originally looking for… from 1987. You can see Tak doing his solo at around 2:30.
