From the Jrock duo B’z, Matsumoto Tak was nominated with Larry Carlton for the album, “Take Your Pick” in the Best Pop Instrumental Album category.

If you don’t remember, B’z created the hit song, “Konya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni” which was the theme song to the drama “Beautiful Life” starring Kimura Takuya as a hair stylist and Tokiwa Takako as a handicapped librarian.

Here’s the music video to the song to refresh your memory 🙂

Congratulations Matsumoto!
