Takata

Takata is a rock singer from Kim Harrison's Novels of the Hollows series. His songs include "Footprint of the Ghost," "The Long Breath," "Shattered Sigh," and "Red Ribbons," which introduces the idea of a "vamp track," or an alternate version of a song only the true undead can hear (living vamps can't hear it unless they're a scion). Protagonist of the series, Rachel Morgan, is both a fan and a friend of Takata. Lyrics to his songs can be found here: http://kimharrison.net/SecondaryPages/TakatasLyrics.html
