Sunday J-pop – 「Ready to Fly」
Another Sunday J-pop time! How have you been? Today’s Sunday J-pop is a bit different taste. Anyone who plays a guitar, then check it out. The song called [Ready to Fly] by Masayoshi Takanaka, who wrote this and plays himself. One of trucks from the album called [Takanaka] which was released in 1977.
70’s and 80’s were the time of [Fusion] and his guitar perfectly matched the air of the time. He became a successful Japanese guitarist at the time. He is still active, had a live concert in 2020 at Shibuya, Tokyo.

Slowly foreign immigration open its door for us to fly around though Japan is STILL one of the strictest country to go to. Where will you be at Christmas? Are you ready to fly just like a bird?
Inspired me to do a better perfect pre-flights and take offs!
