Takara '08 is made up longtime Takara member and leader Neal Grusky on guitar. Gustavo Monsanto on vocals, Bjorn Englen on bass, and Patrick Johansson on Drums. In 06" Neal Grusky resumed work on what would be Takara 5th studio album. He first enlisted long time friend and Bassist Bjorn Englen. Sometime shortly after Neal made contact with Gustavo Monsanto to take over a lead vocals. Then Bjorn brought in fellow Yngwie Malmsteen partner on drums Patrick Johansson. Jeff Scott Soto even returns to lend his voice to the backing vocals.

From this point on they began recording what was to become "Invitation to Forever". "Invitation to Forever" is a slight departure from previous Takara albums since it has more of an harder edge sound than previous Takara albums with yet still retaining there commercial melodic sound that Takara albums are all known for.
