K. Takaya. Nokie's sponsor in Japan and Mosrite's distributo

Postby miamimike » Wed Jun 23, 2010 3:32 pm

Keichi Takaya (rhythm player on Mosrite Forever ) was Nokie's sponsor and Mosrite's biggest distributor in Japan during the 90s. He owned two karaoke clubs, full of instruments and Mosrites where people would get up and play to Ventures music karaoke tracks. I have lost track of Takaya, does anyone know how to get a hold of him through email or snail mail ?

Mike, somewhere on the Forum are PIX of one of Keichi's karaoke clubs. A member (I forgot who :oops: ) posted it a while back in which the PIC showed a
whole mess of Mo's as well as some Fender Jazzmasters, a Gibson, etc. It might of been posted under the "Off Topic," "Mosrites in Action"...... or......
sorry, I just don't remember which thread it was :( .....I know a few members that might know how to get in touch with him, but I'm going to let them
speak up after they read this thread ;) ......
make the Mos' of it, choose the 'rite stuff.

Thanks Adam, I figured you would know ;) ....

Paul, the PIC was that of a karaoke club in Japan in which there were some Japanese Gentlemen that
would get together and jam on the vintage guitars playing 'Ventures tunes.' :)
