<p>Takeshi Terauchi was a Japanese rock n roll guitarist and band leader, known as the 'King of the Electric Guitar'. Born on January 17, 1939 in Tsuchiura, Ibaragi, he founded Takeshi Terauchi & Blue Jeans in 1962. With his innovative guitar playing style, he made a significant impact on the music scene. Sadly, Takeshi Terauchi passed away on June 18, 2021.</p>

This first ever retrospective of Japanese guitar pioneer Takeshi Terauchi charts his career from the 1960s surf boom, via groovy instrumentals, through to 70s fuzz freak-outs and funk rock. The set was collated by Honest Jon's records' resident Japan-ist, Howard Williams, the man behind the <i>Killing Melody</i> Japanese gangster soundtrack compilation and the Japonica blog and club night. 

A must-have item for collectors of guitar 'n beats from around the world or anyone with a curiosity for vintage oriental popular music, the collection features a wealth of traditional Japanese folk melodies and 60s J-Pop given an electric guitar battering.
