Background


Masayoshi traveled to Brazil in 1978 to record part of the album at PolyGram's studios in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro. Newspapers such as O Globo and Jornal do Brasil, however, did not record his visit to the country despite holding a reputation of being one of "Japan's best guitarists". The remainder of the record was recorded at Westlake Studios in Los Angeles, California.[1]

In 2018, Masayoshi held a 40th anniversary tour of the album's release in Japan with the theme of Brasilian Skies. The five-show concert tour commenced on September 22 at the Hitomi Memorial Hall in Tokyo and ended on October 28 in Osaka.[2] A live album recording from his performance at the Tokyo Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall on October 13 was released on May 22, 2019.[3]
