Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on February 22, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Akira Takasaki! May your riffs stay louder than Loudness itself and your solos shred faster than our ears can handle. From the electrifying days of "Thunder in the East" to your recent powerhouse performances, you've proven that age is just a number—especially when you're rocking harder than ever.

Here's wishing you another year filled with epic guitar battles, sold-out shows, and endless applause. Keep inspiring generations with those legendary fingers flying across the fretboard. After all these years, you're still turning amps up to eleven—and we wouldn't have it any other way! Rock on forever!
