@arurakufuyuki the name of this TV program is "Let's Go Young"(Japanese national broadcast) NHK made this program,mainly for the fans for teenagers' pop idols.It is very rare that such fantastic jazz/synthesized group performed in this program in the early 80's.
I love the girl with the breath controller. There's something about the 80s Japanese look on display here I really love - puffy shoulders, high waisted trousers and black high heels. Oh, and not forgetting the synth slung over her shoulder as she plays an awesome melody over some very fine jazz-funk fusion!
Finding any info about these guys on the internet turned out to be surprisingly hard. I just wanted to listen to a few of their albums, but there 's a ton of bands named Cosmos. Finally found them, though. If you're having trouble as well, just look up Keiko Matsui on wikipedia. She is one of the band members.
Same here, I looked for about a year on-and-off for info on these guys. I finally contacted the user who uploaded this and he actually led me to a site were I could DL most of their albums, or at least the one with this song. I saw this video 3-4 years ago and it barely had any views, now its 150k+. Also, a lot of other Cosmos songs are on YT now too.
TL;DR - You all are posers, I am the original underground 80's synth-jazz-funk fan.
Remind a little bit hte music from a Jazz fusion band call Casiopea that i recommand to everybody. I have to admit that these women are great musicians
OMFFG! Wendy Carlos, eat your heart out!! This video and the band are too much! I want a breath controller -- I'm gonna paint a little face on the front of it, maybe a Mr. Yuck sticker! Ha hahaha! Thanks for the up!
Ms. Keiko Matsui, one of the three memembers of the band, is now teaching at a college in Japan. She has been in USA for some years and has been awarded for her excellence by a US smooth jazz committee in 2000 and 2001. In Japan in 80s, so many TV and radio programs put songs of smooth jazz bands, such as, Cosmos, Casiopea (Japanese), Fruitcake (Dutch), Mezzoforte (Icelandic), and Shakatak (UK), on air.
@seaboatsk While a number of those bands did cross over into Smooth Jazz at times, it's important to note that they were mainly Jazz Fusion - which was far more popular than Smooth Jazz in Japan throughout the '80s. Especially Casiopea.
I Just had a Flashback of my entire childhood an every game i played. Side Note : Thank You Japan a Nation that not only has wemon (And Beautiful wemon at that) that are into Video Games, Anime, Manga/ Comic Books/ Graphic Novels but that created them. Here's to Japan, If not the Greatest, then definitely top 3 nations in the World.

This is pretty good. I only notice that the flow of the piece feels 'condensed' because it moves from one section to the next quite fast, hence the slightly "elevator music" feel. Perhaps if the separate sections were given more time to develop, it would begin to feel less like an "accompaniment". After all, there is only -one- solo lasting longer than 8 bars! In any case, I find the overall feeling groovy in an interestingly clean and classy manner. It's evident in the way they dress too.

A good tune matters mostly, but I think it's pretty sad that most Western bands can't step outside the typical cliche that over relies on singing, and instead use instruments with more variety like this. "Oh but there's got to be words, otherwise it don't mean anything" (sigh).
Don't get me wrong, a skillful electric guitar player with the right backing can sound great, but a synth like in this vid is so refreshing and tighter. Good for Cosmos, and groups such as Yellow Magic Orchestra.
Two different bands... This is Cosmos the japanese jazz fusion group. The band you're thinking of is Cosmos the Japanese avant-garde/experimental group. Incidentally, the album "Tears" is available for purchas on allmusic.com
Nice solo with the CS01 and a BC1 breath controller. I tried to use one of them with my DX100 and ended up drowning in my own drool. Thankfully that was back in the 80's and the carpet has dried up since then.

Lame....all these musicians no how to play through a song without mistake, but it lacks any kind of musicality. It's like listening to Finale play back your composition.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It has musicality. It sounds like finale because it's all synth. But sequencers can't reproduce the "pocket" or "soul" that live musicians with a highly trained jazz/rnb/funk background have. Most rock musicans don't have it either. They use distortion and resonant drums with open hi hats to hide their relatively crappy playing. Ironically these rock guys are the ones that need pro tools to technologically fix the timing on their studio cuts.
Actually I am a studio engineer and if we fix anything it might be a few miss-timed kicks with pro tools. Synth can produce some of the most expressive music because you are able to produce different sounds by making your own patches and modifying how a note reacts by how much attack you put on each note. We aren't comparing this to rock anyways because this is not a rock song. Also there is no sequencing being done. They are playing every note and it proves you even thought it sounded robotic.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I never said there was any sequencing being done. I said those people are playing every note with no mistakes like sequencers, but unlike sequencers they can play with POCKET. If you don't know what POCKET is then forgive me for saying this but you are just too "white" to understand. This sounds robotic to you because the song sounds gay and the patches sound like boring presets. My point is that musicians at this level are able soulfully perform any material that isn't that great.
I ran out of room, but to help you out listen to their solos. Being able to lay back is a big deal in jazz and it almost sounds as if the song is fixing to rush during their riffs. There was not any kind of accented notes. If it was fast then the phrase was legato and when it was slow it was choppy. Listen to Chick Corea play this stuff and you will know what I mean.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
To be fair I barely listened this video. I thought the music was gay and couldn't listen to it. I thought you were just some hater who didn't know shit but you obviously you do. Basically i thought you were too "white" but obviously you're not. Don't mean to offend I'm using it figuratively. Now that you tell me that these guys rush their shit, I really don't wanna see this vid. Hey at least I got a nice flame war out of it.
What is this about? I'll try my best on some suggestions:
Easy-listening (simple structure doesn't appear to be an accident), smooth jazz, outerspace LSD groove trip (you know, shooting stars, super novas banging with lights flying all over the place, hence the band name COSMOS), setting a mood, dancing lightly, synths emphasize '"futuristic and outer space feel" (it wouldn't feel the same with acoustic instruments only!), simple melody form (a bit corny if taken away from its original context)
How should I say? I've always took it as... erm... "galaxy-shooting-stars-type-romanticism-LSD-trip" kind of thing? The band Casiopea takes inspiration from the same source but executes it differently. COSMOS just does it lighthearted.
But if I take it as something trying to do what it obviously isn't, then it has a slightly cheesy quality to it. I don't like it that way, of course, so I take it the way I think it should: the way that feels most fitting.
I love them!!! I have always wanted to be that CS-01.

What is this about? I'll try my best on some suggestions:
Easy-listening (simple structure doesn't appear to be an accident), smooth jazz, outerspace LSD groove trip (you know, shooting stars, super novas banging with lights flying all over the place, hence the band name COSMOS), setting a mood, dancing lightly, synths emphasize '"futuristic and outer space feel" (it wouldn't feel the same with acoustic instruments only!), simple melody form (a bit corny if taken away from its original context)

How should I say? I've always took it as... erm... "galaxy-shooting-stars-type-romanticism-LSD-trip" kind of thing? The band Casiopea takes inspiration from the same source but executes it differently. COSMOS just does it lighthearted.
But if I take it as something trying to do what it obviously isn't, then it has a slightly cheesy quality to it. I don't like it that way, of course, so I take it the way I think it should: the way that feels most fitting.
