“Takemoto’s instrumental pieces were utterly compelling, such was the towering level of technical skill and musical dexterity.” — Headliner Magazine UK
“Beautiful. The melody sounds great.” — Grammy Award winner David Russell, on ‘Dear Mum,’
“…so very beautiful. You made me cry.” — Welsh traditional folk-singer/harpist Siân James on Welsh folk song arrangements.
“My jaw was on the floor that he isn't an huge act and was just the opener, as he was possibly the most talented guitarist I've heard live in about 20 years.” — Simon Phillips on www.whisperinandhollerin.com
