Kazuo Takeda, a guitar prodigy since the 1960s, and Carmen Maki, the breakout singer from the theatrical troupe 'Tenjo Sajiki,' set a milestone in Japanese rock history when they collaborated in the band 'Blues Creation' in August 1971. After more than half a century, these two legends are coming together once again.
Since then, Takeda has toured the world with his band 'Creation,' while Carmen Maki formed the iconic 'Carmen Maki & OZ.' For this special event, Takeda's 'CREATION' and Maki's 'Vintage Makes Something New' will share the stage for an unforgettable night.
