Casiopea - Space Road

[TheUnfindlableSongs]

IMPOSSIBRUUUUU

[tantemili]

Anjiiiing!

[sergio311]

ahhh REPLAY ?

YES PREASE !!!!!

[nekuramaron99]

本当、映像と音がずれているのが残念です。見せ場を弾くときの顔­野表情が好いんだけどな～

野呂さんのソロのときの陶酔したような表情が好き(';')



[BlackH3Lic0pt3r]

How technical!!! That drummer is absolutely awenone. Can't believe this was recorded almost 30 years ago...

[Moog168]

@BlackH3Lic0pt3r You should see him now...he's a one man band!

[edwardconway27]

the best jazz/funk band on the fucking earth!

[SKOTP69]

Magnificent!

[VelozyDevastador]

Canek!!!

[catinmysoup]

too bad the audio is out of sync...but still awesome

[SwedishBass]

It should be illegal to have a rhythm section this tight.

[Rattenhoofd]

5 people don't want the 80's moustache look to come back

[MrGianc]

Wonderful musicians, they deserve to be more known, this are great, to much rubbish music around, this is really the sound that i call : Future Sound !!!

Listen from Casipea The Sky, wonderful, in reality ll pieces for me are wonderful!!!

[MrGianc]

Wonderful musicians, they deserve to be more known, this are great, to much rubbish music around, this is really the sound that i call : Future Sound !!!

[reeonelb]

ユニゾン明けの野呂さんと櫻井さんの笑顔…これにやられたんです­よね。

[Munchies56]

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost.

[connersaltzer]

@Munchies56 You have the wrong band. Sports was released by The Square, not Casiopea. And it was 1986.

[Munchies56]

@connersaltzer

you like Huey Lewis and the News?

[connersaltzer]

@Munchies56 Well that was a strange coincidence, and I see my error. My bad!

[connersaltzer]

@Munchies56 By the way, why were you talking about Huey Lewis and The News?

[Munchies56]

@connersaltzer

because its hip to be square

[xPrisonOfTheMindx]

These guys are musical masterminds 

[7Kazama]

akira you rock

[cyclone9282]

途中のユニゾンが圧巻ですね

[cvc9090op]

北島康介が「チョー気持ちいい」って言いながらギター弾いてるみ­たいだ

[tsuchan2106]

最高ー！！！！

[ApOkwARG]

the most awesome chemistry i have seen in my life! CASIOPEA IS GO

[lucustek]

Casiopea is best instrumental music...!

[xPrisonOfTheMindx]

Honestly, this is one of the best songs i've ever heard

[Sebassplayer1978]

can't get enough listening to that fantastic song...my favorite on youtube along with domino line.

[xPrisonOfTheMindx]

when does the video fall out of sync? somewhere in the middle right?

[kaiteitou]

最強のバンドです

[hinokasa]

@CHIE1717

ひどい　まるで学歴が理由で辞めたみたいな言い方

本気で音楽をやっている人に対して実に失礼だ

[gt360gt]

世界最高のユニゾンですね。ただ、音ズレが悔やまれます。

[rb1a1ba]

If the video and the audio was synchronised, this would literally be my favourite video on Youtube. Shame.

[zukateru69]

かっくい～～～～～～

たまらん

よし　コピーしたる

神保ぐらいは無理だけど

チンポぐらいはいけるだろう

がんばる！



[TheParisino]

YEHA I loVE CASIOpEA

[Branman1994]

those lights are goovy man

[MammaleousMaximus]

5:14 and onward! OMG!!!

[waaayover9000]

Tetsuo on fire!

Loving the Jaco lines there :)

[radcam69]

who don't love that Issei shuffle?

[andamotion]

すごい

[hypersonic12]

Jaco line at 2:33! Yeah!

[bassdude61]

@hypersonic12 nice pickup! Also checkout the harmonics around 3:51..super cool..!!

[ewdr8080]

Which DVD is this performance from? Is it available on CD?

[slapmyfunkybass]

thanks for posting.... raw jazz fushion at its best

[RaldyV]

*watching Minoru Mukaiya's keyboards solo*

*bowing down* I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY!

[connersaltzer]

This song hits you like a truck.

[rb1a1ba]

Why are Casiopea's albums all so rare? ¬_¬ I can only find a few on eBay, and that's it. Anybody got any tips on where I can find some?

[RaldyV]

They're actually the easiest albums to download.

[formaset]

That's my nigga Akira Jimbo on the drums. I love this guy.

[formaset]

Damn right!

[triiistone]

How tight is that bass?!

[patatra]

Nintendo bands !? XD

it is awesome !

[GhostOfPaley]

I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo hired this band or its individual members at one point.

[Normal1S]

0:36--TRY and tell me that Space Harrier Level 1 BGM wasn't influenced by this! LOL!

[slapmyfunkybass]

it prob was... the outrun music was based on them - fact.... the composer of the outrun music said this band were his inspiration when writing

[Normal1S]

Oh really?! Cool!

See, I love people who know their SST Band knowledge. . .

[RaldyV]

@Normal1S Fun Fact: When Casiopea had a One-year Hiatus in 1989, The Guitarist of Casiopea, Issei Noro, was hired as a Producer and Guest Performer with SST.

[scat4u]

rainbow road in mariokart 64 reminds me of this.

[shinkongo]

So it's not just me then!

[scat4u]

i thought i was crazy

[joseag]

It's a mirror ;)

[drumjedi]

If you notice behind him, there is a mirror that runs the length of the stage...

[scottyrhj]

haha, loving 4:14 onwards! Great musicians, must buy some albums.

[2satok]

Amazing!

Anybody know where to download Casiopeas music for free?

I'm waiting answers....

[slapmyfunkybass]

5:15 onwards is just amazing.... the arcade game out run had a soundtrack that was inspired by this group....

[insertanger]

this is probably a stupid question, but do they memorize all of their songs?

[Novella2]

Of course. Just as any musician.

However there's a lot of improvisation as well.

[fusionshredder]

but they have over thirty albums, that's a lot of memorization.

[zzztopzzz]

何でみんなハンサムなの？

[bushcraft80]

Take me to Hot Sounds Island, where pure 80s jazz-funk fusion is played 24/7!

[chodyglen]

haha

[kjll12]

@bushcraft80 is the hot sounds island under japanese rule? because if so

i need to get my japanese residence and move right in brah.......

[samboskull]

... Anyone find all their stuff to be a bit Sonic the Hedgehog?

Haha, love it.

[SwedishBass]

Definitely! First thing I though of when I heard Casiopea the first time!

[Connerthedrummer]

i love the ascending bass line

[Connerthedrummer]

5:16 to the end is pure brilliance

[Durdmiester]

This can also sound what it's like to be on certain medication!

[RaldyV]

Is that an Insult or a Joke or What?

[JacoCarta]

Great Band!! Technique and Heart! I love the smile that they has while they are playing! they are happy to play! a great example for all us!

[fusionshredder]

in the "Gentle Hearts" dvd, Tetsuo was 46yrs old at the time, but he looked to be in his early thirties, a sign that music that you enjoy playing doesn't age you.

[gyunabe2008]

画像と音がずれているのが気になります。

[golfito93]

let's compare with the actual music wave and we can find huge a difference CASIOPEA rocks serious players not for amateur ears

[vidmaker8294]

I wish Casiopea did a Live version of "Dream Hill". from their First Album.

[Moog167]

Did you hear that Jaco line Tetsuo did at 2:32? it was a piece of Jaco's "used to be a cha-cha"

Tetsuo is influenced by the best!

[Moog167]

There is a mirror behind his kit.....and that is Akira....he didn't have spikes in his hair all his life you know...

[sodapopdesignz]

i cant have enough of them..jeje

[sodapopdesignz]

reminds me of the music in sonic the hedgehog for gba...lol

i luv casiopea they are the best!!!!!!

[Payuka1003]

Casiopea por siempre y para simpre

[jestearns]

Fantastic! What a sensuous, inspiring composition!

[CaLarsSantana]

Daaaamn, this Guys are very funky!! I like to hear them and I will show other Jazz and Funk musicians what they are able to!

Nice nice nice! I like them alot! :)

[miso5461]

やっぱりユニゾンは中間部にあるほうがいいね。

とても良いテイクだけど音ズレが酷い...

[sinutubb]

I agree

[tiopaul]

Thanks for uploading this great song.

But the image is like 1,2s delayed.

[CenturyEndSaviour]

Any of you guys like Super Takanaka?

[dalung]

Of course. And CenturyEndSaviour must be Hokuto no Ken fan right? :-)

[CenturyEndSaviour]

You, good Sir, are the ONLY person to date to notice that! Well done, that's a +1 for you!

[dalung]

Haha of course because I am Hokuto Shin-Ken Denshousha ;-) haha. Well atleast, Hokuto means so much to my life hah, crazy maybe, but true!

[CenturyEndSaviour]

Hokuto & Casiopea - the greatness of Japan!

[dalung]

Hahah yes and so much more!

[BassThrasher]

Those unisons are the shit! I'm trying to figure them out now but it's a bit complex. I think I Might need to slow it down with a program.

[fusionshredder]

be careful with that, the timing for the video and audio are off a sec. or two.

[HappinessPersistence]

Casiopea means inspiration!!!

[chuckdelawabbas]

holy shit nevermind there's a mirror behind them...my idiocy blows even my own mind!

[BassThrasher]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but how can you tell if a drummer plays right or left handed? Does the stronger hand hit certain pieces of the kit more often than the other?

[CenturyEndSaviour]

Right handed - Right hand hi-hat, left hand snare

Left handed - left hand hi-hat, right hand snare

:)

[cemo8]

[threehundred300]

[3shiftgtr]

Akira Jimbo and Tetsu need to hook up w/Hiromi. Jeez, their continent might sink.

[BassThrasher]

WOW! Why the hell didn't I think of that O_O

[BassThrasher]

[StaytonHeyward]

Another amazing song! In the process of tabbing! Love the Bass/Guitar/Keys unison at 4:14! :)

Minoru's solos are amazing as usual, amazing performance!
