What I like about all their songs played live is that after the solos, the main riffs come back with a vengeance, and the simplicity they have (in comparison with the solo parts) becomes sheer musical power and makes you smile. Like they were saying "see what we did there? Ok... now back to the song....".

One may focus too much on the technical aspect looking for the "best", and that might be slamming the door in onces own face to a FAR GREATER world of music. The great thing about these guyz is that they express a lot of JOY! They seem to really enjoy pursuing all these neck-breaking "stunts" on their instruments! And THAT was and is the greatest thing I have practiced through my 35 years playing music. Casiopea was a great inspiration for me back then: FULL throttle ahead and have fun! ;O)

To be honest, that playing from Akira Jimbo (the drummer) was quite challenging even though you here it so simple. For right-handed player, that left hand control was very hard. His left hand must play according to the tempo and so that the beat is still on the right place. On his right hand must add a few beats on the cowbell. And the various variations of the playing that he did, it took very good hand control exercises to avoid mistakes in playing this song. What a unique drummer and a legend.

I agree. The ability to beautifully mix all of this talent together is a talent by itself. It gets overlooked constantly. The first comparison that comes to mind is Geddy Lee from Rush. It's true that the drummer, Neil Peart, wrote all the lyrics...but you still have to put music to all of these complex themes that Neil wrote about. That must have been difficult for Geddy but he succeeded. Well done!

It's like finding a needle in the haystack, after searching the internet for ages. The entire song, performance, bass and drum solo sounds just as fantastic as I remembered it! One of the best performances and drum solos/grooves I've heard (and I've heard many) - Akira Jimbo is truly one of a kind!

Tetsuo Sakurai really knows to play the bass.. His playing is tasty and doesn't make you bored while listening to it. This man is a genius. I also really love that classic jazz fusion electric guitar tone!
These musicians inspire me in a way no other group ever has. Whenever I'm in a music store playing classical or other random pop on the keyboards nobody really notices - but when I play my cover of Midnight Rendezvous a musician always stops because they know what great musics sounds like when they hear it. It's a dream of mine and I'm sure countless other people to be able to write music that compares to what Casiopea arranges and performs.
