[diptob79]

I love this song, i use it for my ringtone for almost a year now

[PeterMacPL]

GT5 music :) love it

@PeterMacPL

He had to put it on his solo album.  It's that damn good. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Good song and I love it! I think, Kaori Kobayashi should play saxophone for Satoshi Bandoh cause of her good skill and beautiful harmony in playing saxophone, like Takahiro Miyazaki and Masato Honda.

went to T-Square's live this summer, bought this album, met him in person and got his signature. He's seriously a musical genius. all 10 songs in this album is amazing so i suggest you all to buy one if you can!

@ryoendaiesec

Wow man, that is awesome that you got to meet him. What songs did the band play during the live? Hats off to ya man, and yes, this is a must have!!!

[ryoendaiesec]

@naikanomtom They performed as like the pre-show performance (if you get wt i mean haha). His band played Boundless Sky, Every Moment and Happy Life. Boundless Sky was pure awesomeness.

wow, this is completely different from the GT5 Version, but just as cool.

@yazonkyoudai

I think this was probably his favorite track from what he composed for the game, but this time, he's got a world class sax man behind it as well. Thanks for listening man!

Great! Thanks for subscription this damn great music, beautiful sax from Bandoh. I love it, I have to buy his album!

[naikanomtom]

@dewo662002

Thanks dewo. Takahiro Miyazaki is responsible for all the great sax, and it's soooo good to hear him again, ain't it?

[PhatPhunk]

Beautiful! Didn't know bandoh has a solo album out! Gotta check that out!

[naikanomtom]

@PhatPhunk

It's a damn good album. His drumming is great, but his songwriting is really REALLY GOOD! The sax work by Takahiro Miyazaki is also good too!

[DragoonEnRegalia]

I'm now convinced that Kazunori Yamauchi goes to Masahiro Andoh to find potential musicians for his GT games—Yudai Sato, for example, is an associate of Satoshi and also contributed to the same soundtrack.

Once again: a stellar effort.

Of course he does, Andoh-san was the first guy he came up to when making this game since T-Square has been synonymous with racing for the past 2 decades. Norihito Sumitomo (who wrote some tracks for GT5) is a huge associate of Takeshi Itoh, writing songs for his solo efforts and playing as a contributing saxophonist with him in the 90s. That's the beauty of the J-fusion community in Japan, everybody knows and respects everybody, and they're willing to help record too.
