Program Notes

Takarajima (Treasure Island) is a popular Japanese song written by Hirotaka Izumi, a member of the band T-SQUARE. It was later adapted into an arrangement for wind ensemble by Toshio Mashima, as part of New Sounds in Brass's 1987 edition, performed by Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra. The piece remains an icon among wind bands both in Japan and abroad.

Though the song was initially intended to have a jazz/funk vibe like the rest of T-SQUARE's discography, Mashima strayed away from this, and instead opted for a samba style, featuring instruments like the agogo and whistle.
