For those who didn't know, after leaving Casiopea, Minoru Mukaiya (the keyboardist) ended up composing some of the melodies that Tokyo Metro uses to indicate that a train is leaving. If you ever find yourself riding the subway in Tokyo, listen closely - you might hear some of that Casiopea influence in some of those chimes!
@JuIianRock I mean you can tell by listening to it, but if you want a specific example: listen to this song and think about whether or not it's familiar czcams.com/video/-2la3MlJx3s/video.html this video is a pretty good one about the influences and inspirations of Nintendo composer Koji Kondo czcams.com/video/dBNJ5cAxcQ8/video.html
@JuIianRock I mean you can hear the influence if you're familiar with both sounds. But you can probably find nintendo composers' influence through interviews and stuff. It's pretty well known that jazz was still heavily influential in Japan as a premier genre even in the 80s which has affected the sound of all the pop music in japan since the post-war era when american sailors brought the influence of jazz to the country. I think what makes this most obvious is that nintendo music of the 70s/80s is literally the genre fusion jazz and fusion jazz in Japan was known primarily through japanese acts T-Sqaure and Casiopea and American acts like Weather Report and Return to Forever.
I love their current bassist as well as tetsuo. I do like the more groove based lines as well as his tone from tetsuo, but yoshihiro is a reeeal showman. Dude has some immaculate chops
That bass solo was completely out of this world. I have not seen anything like it. I would say it stole the show but the other solos were absolutely bang on as well.
I found out about them about six months ago from a video essay talking about city pop and prog rock from Japan during the 70s and 80s. They were showcased a lot and I instantly fell in love with their sound. They're absolute beasts on their instruments, that's for sure.
--How many workstations do you need, Mukaiya-san? --Hai! --You know you can play the same workstation with more than one controller, right? -- I. DON'T. CARE.
I thought something was extra funky about the bass, and I noticed that it actually has 8 friggin strings lmao They look to be configured as pairs, some I’m guessing they’re tuned in octaves That just makes this performance even more insane
So the electric guitar was slapped and the bass was shredded ... I love this
FACTS its amazing
Looks like its an interesting (unusual but epic) way to play a bass and a guitar.
They both slapped the shit out of their respective instruments
@@loganhueske2427Exactly.
@@loganhueske2427Welp, all we can do is pray for the health of all instruments.

That's awesome
Now he also plays in the Katsushika Trio along with Sakurai and Jinbo!
@@steffomca762 Katsushika Trio is amazing, i can imagine them getting popular very fast
@@jvdrumming8859i hope so, but probably it will end up being successful only in Japan because it's much more "local" than Casiopea itself
@steffomca762 yeah thats true.. they definitely won't be doing huge concerts and world tour either sadly 😭
The best reunion in music history
Dude beat that bass guitar like it owed him money JFC.
“Bassists hate this one weird trick” crikey that guy laid down the law on that bass guitar 🤯
All four of these dudes are Musical MONSTERS!!
this would absolutely SLAP on a marokart track
Would make sense, a lot of Nintendo's music was influenced by the music of fusion bands like Casiopea and T-Square
I legit thought this was from mk8 when I first heard it
Mario Kart Casiopea edition.

Man started slapping the non bass guitar
@@DiscreetHobo Did you completely miss 0:54? I'm pretty sure that's what the OP was talking about.
@S2 Turbine yeah. The Guitarist slapped as well. I assumed they were speaking about the bassist. Since he was using an 8 string bass
@@DiscreetHobo Do you know what bass is being played in this?
@@drakaensmeg8 string definitely
The best 4 in all of Casiopeas history
Tetsuo begs to differ
I love their current bassist as well as tetsuo. I do like the more groove based lines as well as his tone from tetsuo, but yoshihiro is a reeeal showman. Dude has some immaculate chops
@@natethebass-man2869 Sakurai > Naruse
Naruse is amazing but i’ll always stand by sakurai
3:29
The bit where the band comes in at 3:57 sounds so good
That single bass drum beat at 3:17 is just insane... Such speed with a single pedal
Naruse killed it, damn. How could someone be so energic at 53? I'm struggling to realise that now this man has reached his 70s
That bass solo was completely out of this world. I have not seen anything like it. I would say it stole the show but the other solos were absolutely bang on as well.
3:56-4:11 when you dont look like you know the notes your playing but you actually do
I hope that bass was at least 18
Saw Akira live once.
This fills me with so much joy. Im glad to have discovered this.
something about japanese music feels so revitalising
YES
3:54 those open strings sounded like a bomb went off!
He’s playing an 8 string, so it sounds massive
This band just seems like the most fun band to be a part of. I want to play with them
saw a snippit of the bass solo in another video so had to find the whole video. These guys are amazing! Hope they're still doing well 20 years later

@@ZeyTheDaemon do you remember the title / link to the video?
@Thehotdogman I don't, unfortunately. You can try looking up Japanese guitarists. He had a video on a guitarist, and the guy has a surfboard guitar
@@ZeyTheDaemonTakanaka is the surfboard guitarist
that’s how i found it as well
When slap bass becomes spank bass.
I loved every second of that. Each of these guys are phenomenal musicians.
This is so good! This is fucking GOOD!!
3:50 Naruse went BANG BANG on the bass
That was hell of a ride. Great musicians.
I'm instantly transported into a VHS recording of a playstation 1 game by SEGA .
The vibe
No way was this recent 😮🙏🏻
2003
@@milosjanic1038 oop.. the quality looked recent 😭 (like 2014 or something)
I could notice that he's doing so hard as soon as i saw the thumbnail. honored to see that facial expression.
MONSTERS
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Yosihiro Naruse... what a bloody savage!
Man, this is a masterpiece!

グランツーリスモみたいやね
かっこいい
マリオカート感もある
So awesome Casiopea 💙
this gives me Mario Kart vibes
where do you think mario kart music got its inspiration?
Holy shit!!!!
Absolutely phenomenal!
I hope this becomes a Megaman game's soundtrack. I can even picture the stage.
I thought something was extra funky about the bass, and I noticed that it actually has 8 friggin strings lmao

Just an amazing band goddamn
freakin awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Incredible
Japan the only country left on the world that still has any value.
allan holdsworth approves
えぐ
He started kicking that bass guitar's ass 😂.
정말 너무 좋다
Nice
Sgoi !!
Return to Forever but even crazier lol
Bapack-bapack Japan lagi ngumpul ngeband 😆
this got that Mario Kart beat
Casiopea created this song before Mario even existed
i know, and it's amazing!!@@solangesaracuza4278
do you notice narusue san bass is 8 string? so the sound of the bass can deep and treble at the same time
IS THIS ON SPOTIFY? LIKE THIS LIVE
I watch another video of this live video. This is so different. Is it because there is a dvd with multiple angles?
Anyone here from George Collier?
playstation music vibes
When was this and was this ever released physically
This happened in 2003
HOLY FUCK BRO. THAT ONE BASS NOTE IS PURE FUNK 4:26
What year is this?😊
Prob 2003
Mario Kart
didn't realize this was from the 80s with that camera quality
Camera quality is honestly pretty good for 2003. Looking back at videos from my parents in 2003. You can't even see a full pixel
