Shogo Sakaniwa Memorial Album: Kokoro no Tabi (3-disc set) Memorial Album: Kokoro no Tabi 2 (2-disc set) can't help but wonder where I'm bound He was one of the musicians who built the acoustic music scene (alongside musicians like Wataru Takada, Osamu Kitayama, and Isato Nakagawa) from the late 1960s onwards, collaborating with numerous artists. He also composed the hit song "Hanayome" (Bride), which is still sung today. Furthermore, his presence was indispensable in popularizing bluegrass music (flatpicking guitar, flatmandolin, banjo) in Japan. He sang, spoke, and played instruments in many settings, including with "Norihiko Hashida & Climax," "Tomo-ya Takaishi & The Natchez Seven," "Toru Kasagi & The Folks," and "SAM." This memorial album is a 3-disc set, excerpted from hundreds of extensive tapes left behind by him, including live recordings, studio demos, and home recordings. His talkative and witty conversations are also a highlight.
