Tak Matsumoto with Orchestra - LOVE PHANTOM

This video features famed Grammy Award-winning Japanese guitarist Tak Matsumoto of B'z performing with the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra in July of 2004. The performance spanned thirteen compositions, all based on Tak's previous work (drawn from both his B'z and solo catalogues).

The final song performed is "LOVE PHANTOM", originally released as a single on October 11th, 1995. The single debuted at #1 and sold nearly 1,000,000 copies in its first week of release alone. Since its release, the song has become synonymous with B'z music and has remained a staple of their live shows for over 15 years.
