"Laid Back Sesson" is a YouTube program that features a laid-back chat between Char (Hisato Takenaka), a legendary guitarist who has led the Japanese guitar scene for over 45 years, and Australian drummer Tully Ryan, who has been the support drummer for Char's concerts since 2023. Shot at a pop-up bar in AMP UP, a private studio in Tokyo. We hope Char's personal and musical history and humorous character will be known to people all over the world. Also enjoy the session that is carried out in the groove.
