One of Minami Yoshitaka's recent musical activities is the trio unit TAKIBI-tai [Pecker (Perc.) and Takeda Gen (Key & Piano)].

Until now, the activities of "TAKIBI-tai" have mainly consisted of events and live performances, but now, at the end of 2008, the first new album under the name of "Minami Yoshitaka TAKIBI-tai" will be released, marking the 35th anniversary of his career!

With the backing of performances and choruses by Pecker, a master of the Japanese Latin music scene, and arranger and composer Takeda Gen, this is a superbly simple and natural album that allows you to once again enjoy Minami Yoshitaka's tasteful songs.

This album is for adults who want to experience a relaxing moment away from the hustle and bustle of the city, in a rustic place where you can relax both body and mind and talk about memories with close friends.
