		Tak Matsumoto genießt in Japan einen Status, hinter dem sich so mancher westliche "Star" bei Weitem verstecken kann.
		Als kleines exotisches Extra hat Tak Matsumoto auch ein wenig asiatisches Flair integriert (vor allem, aber nicht nur bei "The Greatest Show On Earth" zu hören), welches das Album gelungen auflockert.

		Just Mr, Big, Nightranger och Damn Yankess är högst påtagligt närvarande i denna recension och det beror på två saker, dels att sångaren i TAK MATSUMOTO GROUP heter Eric Martin och att bassisten heter Jack Blades, dels på att produktionen har lite av samma svulstighet som dessa tre band en gång i tiden hade.
		TAK MATSUMOTO är en japansk gitarrist som har ett band som heter B’Z i Japan, och som lär ha sålt hela 80 miljoner (!) skivor i Asien.
		Plattan släpptes i Japan i våras och den blev naturligtvis en dundersuccé och nu är det dags för oss i Europa att ta del av den.
