Thanks Ferenc
The guy is good. Great fluid style.
Do you know anything more about him?

I just stumbled across this on Youtube.
That's my new favorite tune!

Yeah nice. Nice tone as well, I would have expected a Mosrite with a JC120 to sound a little harsh - yet although his sound is very bright and clean it's also very smooth.

I asked a friend of mine in Japan about this guitarist, he wrote back:

I met Mr. Genji Sasaki at The Ventures' summer tour event last year.
Happeningly I had a little conversation with him and I know that he had loved The Ventures and Terry & The Blue Jeans for a long time. He is 60 years old now. He is amateur guitarist but has a high technique for them. He has been played black coloured Mosrite model because it's trade mark of Terry Terauchi.
He and me played guitars with The Ventures, more 100 fans played guitars with them at the same time, Can you believe it ?
He formed good Eleki band,someone send its live video to You-Tube maybe.

I suspect from the sound that he's playing very quietly ..
