As the sixth installment of the archive streaming project for guitarist Takeshi Terauchi, also known as the "God of Electric Guitar," nine titles will be released worldwide simultaneously.
Takeshi Terauchi began playing electric guitars he built himself as a boy, and in 1962 he formed "Takeshi Terauchi and the Blue Jeans." He appeared on television music programs such as "Shabondama Holiday" and "The Hit Parade," as well as the "Nichigeki Western Carnival," and was a pioneer who sparked the electric guitar boom. In addition to experimenting with playing classical music and folk songs on the electric guitar, such as the remake of Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5" called "Let's Go Fate" and "Tsugaru Jongara Bushi," he toured high schools nationwide with his "High School Concerts," performing more than 1500 shows to dispel the misconception that electric guitars were a breeding ground for delinquency.
Takeshi Terauchi, known as the "God of Electric Guitars," has achieved numerous great feats and created many legends. Although he has left behind a vast body of work, many of his works have not been digitized since their initial release on analog records.
This archive project aims to make previously unreleased works available for streaming, including those that have never been digitized before, while simultaneously re-examining and redefining the legacy of Takeshi Terauchi, a leading figure in Japanese electric guitar sound.
The sixth installment features nine album titles originally released in 1978, now available for digital download.
1978 was a fulfilling year for Takeshi Terauchi in his guitar career, as he poured all his ideas and performances into his works, from new ventures such as the album "The Bunnies Revival," in which the Blue Jeans provided the backing band for the newly reformed Bunnies, and "Space Hero Perry Rhodan," based on the world's longest-running space opera series, to his own ongoing series of works, including "Songs Without Songs - Southpaw" and "Songs Without Songs 'Invisible Man' - 'LOVE (I Want to Hold You)'" from the "Songs Without Songs" series, which has become synonymous with the Blue Jeans, and the third installment of the series in which Takeshi Terauchi collaborates with an orchestra, "The Magnificent World of Takeshi Terauchi III."
I sincerely hope you enjoy the many electric sounds captured in this prolific year.
