I find Tomoyasu Hotei a mixed bag. I find most songs of his albums pretty so-so. Nothing i would ever listen. Very straight and old fashioned rock with short guitar solo's etc. I only liked the song Desperado (because of the Mexican influences). But then i checked out his Doberman 2004 live, and a few songs were amazing, like Guitarrhythm. Amazing Guitar interlude. And Lonely Wild. One of the best and longest solo's i've ever heard. Why is none of that on the album? It should have been! Come Rain Come Shine contains nothing i cant find at other rock bands. So im going to wait till his lives. Because his lives always brings interesting things to the table.

Hotei performs the best on his live's. Especially guitar wise. Listen to the guitar outro of Lonely Wild on Doberman 2004. Its insane.

The Guitarhythm on All Time Super Guest is kinda of a letdown. Why is it only 6 min, why not 10 or so? I was suspecting miyavi popslapping guitar style, but there is none. Also Imai is hard to hear. I think you can hear him on the background (and ive im right, he got a solo at the beginning of the instrumental part). And what he does isnt bad, but its hard to hear. At the end there is some pretty interesting guitar at the background (very noice like) but its hard to hear. I personally prefer the 10min live verson of the song. In that version, the part when the song begins to slow down (which is in the middle) is also better arranged, especially with the guitar. Also its more instrumental, and doenst have those synthesized drum feeling to it. Dont get me wrong, its not a bad song, but i expected more of song written by so many guitarists.

Just discovered him. I really like is guitar style. Im searching for Hotei instrumentals or songs with emphasise on guitar (songs with long solo's etc). Allready found the 10 min live version of guitarhythm (which sounds great), BWHOH (obviously) and Guitar Concerto. Other then that, did i missed some jewels of songs with good guitar? Would love to get some suggestions : D

I wonder how many people realize that album is based on the Battles without Honor or Humanity 8 movie set? Each song is in reference to those. Little tidbit if no one knew. @dememe Sadly Hotei isn't as popular as he should be imo, I like Slash, but I don't know anyone who thought he did that song, they just plain have no idea. ALSO...does anyone know if the BOOWY 30TH is going on dvd, Hotei has been tweeting mostly about Iwate quake help, I don't even know if it was canceled.
