神保・則竹のシンクロしたツインドラムプレイから、和泉のピアノ­に続く流れがとてもいい！

ノルウェー・　メキシコ・　ペルー・　インドネシア・　オーストラリア・　USA・・・・・

コメントしている人たちの国が沢山ありますね。

改めて、「世界のCASIOPEA、日本のスクエア」（スクエア­の和泉宏隆さんがライブのMCで言っていました。）の人気の高さ­を実感しました。

ところで、メキシコの方が気になっているようですが、野呂(Ｇ）­さんとナルチョ(Ｂ）と須藤（Ｂ）さんが出てこないのはなぜです­か？

ベースは、どちらか１人が弾いていると思いますが、ステージにい­ませんよね？

ひょっとしたら松本さんがシンセでスラップベースを再現している­のかもしれないな～とか考えてしまいます。

どなたか教えてください。

メキシコのMVAGUSTO さん、ようこそ。

日本のファンに答えてもらいますから、少し待っててね～～。

[giax5296]

@Mickey326GG　確かに、・・・野呂さん鳴瀬さん須藤さんが見当たりませんね・・­・それなのにベースの音に関しては聞こえてくる。・・・？　僕もよく分かりませんが、次の曲に関係するスタンバイ中なのかな­ぁ？とか思ったりします。

[nyr5030]

@Mickey326GG DVDを持っている方ならおわかりかと思いますが、このパートは­カシオペア vs スクエアの対決（MId Manhattanは神保vs則竹のドラム対決←対決というより­シンクロですけど）となっていてバック(?)は交代で出演してい­ます。ナルチョも須藤さんもお休みです。ベースは河野さん(ke­y)のシンセベースですね。

[formaset]

You tube is now having a big problem with copyright, removing all videos from you tube. I wasn't sure if i should buy this video. Because this video was posted, it gave me a good idea of exactly what the video looks like. I went ahead and spent almost $100.00 US dollars for a single blu-Ray disc from these guys. Thanks for posting this video.

[tewhere1]

for shore damn funky band from my young teen years..damnn right..awesome stuff ..this band was the funk when i was a kid..cheers

[MINESR34GTR]

Noritake's smile on this tune is very impressive.

I can tell this was his favorite one.

He must have been recollecting his high school days playing Casiopea's tunes, admiring Jimbo.

What a great moment...

[damaster720]

hmm, why is this version different than the one in the live CD? i thought it was supposed to be a LIVE cd, right?

[RaldyV]

They did 2 different Performances as "Casiopea vs. T-Square".

[damaster720]

i see. thanks for clearing that up.

[RaldyV]

Yes, One for DVD and the Other for CD.

[quartercirclejab]

What an experience just to watch this video.

Beautifully incredible stuff there.

[0takasan]

1:26 to 1:54, the drums are so good!!! God, doesn't it want to make you dance!!?!?!?!?!?

[kananase]

Yep. Theres the cymbal choke. Man that's good stuff!

[DmitriMironov]

Incredible Music :)))

[blahtotheblah]

[laloservin]

Extraordinary.

[Wolfiespeaks]

[SoulOfKamadan]

[muaythai1982]

FUCK YOU Paardekut,you stupid Australian kangaroo

[muaythai1982]

FUCK YOU Paardekut

[Birland77]

OMG.. they sound SO GREAT!!!

Amazing music, amazing playing.

[erichan6]

Why cant an Brazilian play blues? And a north american play samba? Music is the only universal language after all :D

[erichan6]

There are no such thing as "copycats" in music,

Music is there to play, whenever country your from

[smilioso]

legends...

[seaboatsk]

Thank you for posting it. I have been a big fan of Casiopea since 1982. I think that the band has been underrated although it has had so much potential for world-wide popularity. I hope the band will come back.

[kimhan3112]

where bass??? listen bass..

[RaldyV]

T-Square Keyboardist (not on Acoustic Piano) is playing the bass part. Neither Mitsuru nor Yoshihiro are playing bass here.

[RaldyV]

I meant Keizoh Kawano. I didn't know his name 10 Months ago.

[limadt]

perfeito

[komperdell7]

すげぇな

[fkmrn]

感動しました！

[smcguitar99]

I like this song much and also this version best of all.

最後の安藤さんと伊藤さんの４バース、ライブらしいのりで最高で­すね。

[maicoz90]

Bellissimo!!

[gregtarantino]

Fantastico!

[jamestakeshi]

can anyone tell me where to download this video?? I searched all p2p programs and torrents and theres nothing in there...Please help

[jamestakeshi]

if all countries would be the same as japan, then there we be no problem...

[DyfnalltDH]

as japan doesn't have its problems >_>

[loho174]

very true japan like has everything they want and need and they do well in every sense of the word.

[bananamusician]

Japan is not all laughs and joy. Search for "Ijime: A Social Illness of Japan" on Google and read the first article.

[sleepypeterson]

This is truly some of the best jazz I've ever heard!!! Perhaps even the best!

[komperdell7]

日本の誇りだよ

casiopeaは

[schalvatella]

THIS IS SUCH A REALLY TREMENDOUS.

[Moog167]

1:39

OMG Classic solo but with 2 drummers! supa dupa tight!

I think if James Brown was alive he would've hired these dudes!

[chanclie]

And where was ISSEI NORO at that time?Another excelent guitarrist..excelent musicians..awesome,casiopea and the square top musicians.Great!!!

[artifitshall]

yeah jazz up dude......

[devor3]

I meant wave race 64, if not go check the game's music out...

[Paikudesu]

haha, true that.

And I love it.

[devor3]

This reminds me of wave race's music...Absolutely smoothly gorgeous

[xRisingForcex]

Go Akira Jimbo and T-Square's drummer! Your synchronization is off-the-walls!

[svnzealot]

second time watching this song!!

Just amazing!!!

The sync between the Jimbo and the other drummer is awesome (srry I forgot the dudes name)

Just amazing!!!

[RaldyV]

The other drummer is Hiroyuki Noritake, T-Square's own drummer.

[svnzealot]

The drum's are freakin nuts in this song!!!

Can't wait til I can play like that!!!

[kniehk]

well said fiddlercrab, the drum solo was amazing

[Belphego0640666]

I want to see Akira dueling with Dennis chambers.  Its gonna bee a blow

[fiddlercrab3]

Dude the twin drum solo is maybe the sickest thing I've ever seen. Thanks for the post; it blew my mind.

[Paardekut]

The Japanese are just amazing copy cats.

One track they sound like Level-42, the next like Spyro Gyra.

This is definitely a track that could have been written by Mezzoforte.

Casiopea is a great band though.

They sound fresh and their groove is tight.

Love it.

[kusakabemanai]

Paardekut, if Japan is a amazing copy cats, every country is copy cats of Japan, importing Japanese goods that Japan invented, such as video deck, liquid crystal, downsized calculator, industrial robots, and so on and on.

[Paardekut]

Yes, you're right, but I don't think you can say that every country is copying their music and that's what I refered to.

[kusakabemanai]

No. Every country is copying almost everything from other countries, because we cannot live without having relations with others. Copying is the first step to make originals.

[kusakabemanai]

Amazing copy cat coutry? Wow! Koreans are copying Japanese TV programs, cars, and everything. Japan is the No.1 or 2 coutry of creating patents in the world and the number of researchers per capita is the largest. You know nothing about Japan.

[Paardekut]

Get off your high hours will ya.

My first comment was nothing but compliments.

I admire Japan greatly. It's one of the most amazing places on earth, but you're right, I know nothing about Japan, because I had no idea there were little shitters like you getting offended at people saying nice things.

I was stating a fact and you respond like I was knocking Japan. Read my first comment again and have a longer think, you assumptious prick.

[kusakabemanai]

Paardekut, I do not talk to you.

[Paardekut]

Grow up, mate...

[kusakabemanai]

Paardekut, you misunderstood. I am sorry. My words werre for korean gladly1210.

[Paardekut]

Kusakabemanai, you are an idiot.

Okay, so you made a mistake and you apologised, but what did I tell you about Copy Cats?

You just proved my point.

[kusakabemanai]

Idiot? hahaha, if you say to someone such a derogatory word, you should not hope to get any reply from him.

[Paardekut]

You sound like some sort of expat that has an identity crisis. Trying to impress with you expensive words. Idiot is not a derogatory word. It's a very mild expression of someone who doesn't know their earhole from their arsehole, like you.

Just one glance at your profile reveals what a bitter, frustrated and confused individual you are.

[kusakabemanai]

Paardekut, do you know the psychological term "adhesive personality"? You should see a doctor to know whether you have that.

[Paardekut]

Adhesive?

It's taken you this long to come up with a reply and that's the best you have? I thought you said you wouldn't talk to me anymore. Who's adhesive now?

There's a term for sad little wankers like you too.

Internet bully.

[kusakabemanai]

hahaha, why must i reply to you soon? I rarely see the reply comment to me in the box, because it is useless to spend time to reply to such an adhesive guy as you. Are you really an australian? I have some friends from the country. As a whole, I rarely see adhesive ppl from caucasians, especially australians. I repeat to you, "I have nothing against you. Here I replied to the crooked Chinese." Forget about my words and go back to your favorite videos. I love Casiopea. Period.

[Paardekut]

Your stupidity is quite amuzing, so keep it coming.

You think it's useless spending time replying, but you keep doing it. Then calling others adhesive.

I'm not an Aussie, I only work there.

See, your assumptious clever mind has failed you once again.

Not only are you thick, you're racist too.

You love Casiopea because they're Japanese. You would have hated them if they had been Chinese.

[kusakabemanai]

hahaha, you are not an Aussie. No wonder you are not. You are chinese? Alright. hahaha.

[Paardekut]

Wrong again.

You just keep making an arse of yourself.

[kusakabemanai]

Wrong again.

It is interesting to watch you are answering to my comment endlessly. ^o^

[gladly1210]

yea i won't deny that koreans copy japanese tv programs and stuff but noteverythig dumbass... japanese stole korean artisans and skills in korean-japanese war of 1592-1598. We koreans have been giving skills and advanced culture officially to the inferior japanese government for over thousand years. did you know that? and you fucking japs invaded korea after u guys adopted some western technologies.

[gladly1210]

and you japs claim that sushi, tofu, soy sauce and even kimchi is yours... bunch of dumbshits... sushi has been eaten by koreans and chinese even before you island monkeys started eating them... and you guys claim that dokdo is your island. fucking imperalists go fuck your mom like every japanese do. i always try to respect other country but i don't want to respect you country cuz of your stupidity and rudeness toward korea. go fuck ur dog

[kusakabemanai]

"island monkeys", "japs"...

These words reveal that you are not in normal sense. Rational and decent ppl would not talk to others if they had not done nothing adverse. As for Koreans, the more they utter these megalomaniac things, the more they are known to the ppl in the world as insane, as you prove to be here. What in the past? Today, we are creating the wealth of 1/6 of the world. No matter how hard you shout on your superiority, the numbers are proof.

[kusakabemanai]

gladly1210, in addition, in the page of video of Japanese performers like this, watch out your remarks, because Japanese are reading.

Bad remarks that you make will get us nowhere and give us nothing but adversity. Is that constructive? If you want construction, refrain from such words at least in japanese pages.

[kusakabemanai]

gladly1210, regarding kimuchi, sushi, or something like that, we have never said "they are our original invention". But, well, as you know, are there any nations in this world that are living just with the things that they originally created? Every nation has adopted good inventions from others in history. So every nation is a copy cat. Or do you want to say, "Chinese and Koreans are speciall. They have never used foreingers-invented things"?

[gladly1210]

i also won't deny that chosun dynasty was doing stupid things and got invaded by japan, but chosun is only 400 years of our glorious 5000 years history.. also you guys only dominated for 35 years, but we've been dominating japan for several thousand years. and you japs have been inferior all the time. Korea will dominate your country in 200 years. i guarantee.

[333tanx]

they are definitely on time. its amazing. it sounds like the power of two drummers and the timing of just one. amazing.

[splashy44]

Well" ill be damned! this is what im talkin bout..its goin into me fav's ppl.

[kananase]

Yamaha drums rule!

[fiddlercrab3]

And they're playing Yamaha everything- keys, drums, etc.

[yt5181103]

Oh!! Akira Jimbo!!  AWESOME!

[RaldyV]

Wrong, Chris. T-Square's Keyboardist covers the Bassline.

Also, In the CD Version of T-Square playing Mid-Manhattan, you can clearly hear a Synthesized Bass on the Track.

[budhisusetyo]

I don't see issei and their bassists

[ollyaaa]

AWESOME

[kkaazzii]

AKIRA JIMBO!!! can i have the drum score?

[animenarutoxxx]

yea akira jimbo

[crazylevity]

Where's Issei Noro in this song?? Why isn't he playing?

[domdom87]

this is from the live dvd t-square vs casiopea. in the middle part, they've mixed the guys up around. its the best live concert ive seen....on dvd. haha

[Moog167]

If you thought their drumming was tight check out James Brown's drummers

[mmuuishikawa]

[sarbit]
