Miyoko Takac: Robby Takac’s Wife

Miyoko Takac is the wife of Goo Goo Dolls bassist Robby Takac and the mother of their daughter, Hana. She is associated with Buffalo’s music community around Robby Takac’s projects, Good Charamel Records and the Music is Art festival, but reliable public sources say little about a formal role of her own — and this updated article keeps only what can be verified.

Good Charamel Records and Music is Art

Good Charamel Records was founded in Buffalo in 2003 by Robby Takac, later known for releasing Japanese rock bands including Shonen Knife in North America. Music is Art was founded in 2003 by Robby Takac as a non-profit/festival supporting musicians, artists and creative communities in Western New York, including instrument donations to schools, music-education programmes and scholarships. Miyoko Takac is not credited as founder, mentor, or leader of either organisation.

At the 11th annual Music is Art Festival, Delaware Park, on 21 September 2013, Miyoko Takac (Robby’s wife) took to the main stage and shaved her head to benefit cancer research.

What is not publicly confirmed: her birth year, early life, education, formal role at either organisation, and any death or memorial fund are not confirmed by reliable sources found, so they are not stated here. No reliable death report was found.

In short, Miyoko Takac is Robby Takac’s wife and Hana’s mother, associated with Buffalo’s music community around Good Charamel Records and Music is Art, with the public record for her own formal role remaining limited to what is set out above.
