ありがとうございます😊。

thanks!

Thanks!

Not to my knowledge no. Honda played on a few albums from the Katsumi band, as well as a few other saxophone players like Toki.

はい、忙しくなければ本田さんの旅の後半を動画にしたいと思っています. ご清覧ありがとうございました。

I've heard that Russ Freeman is the reason it's not available to listen anywhere here in the United States.

@@ZachNa That's news to me. Never had trouble getting a copy.

Yeah I have a few favorites amongst their later albums

@@jcuevasproductions please can you recommend some albums, I am kind of new to Dimension and there are so many albums to choose from!

@@huckleberry38-pn4wo Second Dimension and Fourth Dimension are my favorite early ones. I have had a harder time with the middle phase but 12th Dimension “If” has resonated the most. I most enjoy the latter albums. I got into the band through 27 and it is a strong favorite. 27 also was the first album to release after Mario Kart 8 debuted in 2014. I think 33, 26, and 29 are each amazing. Lastly, all Kazuki Katsuta’s solo albums are worth a listen. My favorite is the self titled one also from 2014.

Where do you listen to their later albums?

I will try my best

I agree. A second part to Honda’s albums is going to be made at some point, but I’ve been pretty busy 😅 so idk when that will be

My thoughts exactly, there’s a couple bangers here and there in their newer albums I’d say their 14th or 15th album was pretty much their last original sounding album. They were pretty lit in their starting years though, I never get tired of their early albums

@@jcuevasproductions interestingly enough, my all time favorite dimension album has to be "My Rule" their 19th album. After that it's probably 4th, and then 10th

1st to 7th is the best section for me, but after 21 up to 30 there are some of their best songs of all time.

The latter phase 24 and forward is my favorite!

Also, the latin jazz some from outrun was inspired by Naoya Matsuoka

Yeah i had no clue either until I read the description on his featured video

You might be pleasantly surprised to find the main motif idea in Midnight Ride appears in another track by DIMENSION titled "Stylish of Swing"

Big City by T-Square

They apparently disbanded shortly but I have yet to find any info about why it happened. I kinda wish Miyazaki had more time officially other than their live concerts. I feel he’s underrated especially when listening to him in Satoshi Bando’s albums.

@@jcuevasproductions The reason why Takahiro Miyazaki, Mitsuru Sudo, and Hiroyuki Noritake left T-SQUARE at the same time is because of Masahiro Ando's "retirement declaration." Ando told the members that he wanted to leave T-SQUARE. "Ando must remain in the band. That's why we're leaving the band," he persuaded Ando, and Miyazaki, Sudo, and Noritake left the band. After that, Takeshi Ito rejoined, and T-SQUARE began to operate as a unit of Ando and Ito. Ando eventually left T-SQUARE in 2021. The reasons are as follows. "I started to feel like it was hard to compose for the new album that I release every year." T-SQUARE fans say, "There's no need to release a new album every year, so I want Ando to remain the band's leader forever."

@@joyjapan3504 Do you know something about what went wrong between Masato Honda and Masahiro Andoh?

@@MiniRubio I think there was probably some kind of feud between them. For example, the story goes something like, ``Every time Honda produced an album for T-SQUARE, Honda created four new songs, but only two of them were accepted.The reason was that Andoh rejected them.'' Another thing is that when Honda and Andoh sat together for the first time in about 20 years (probably at Izumi's funeral), Andoh said to Honda, "What is your name?" This source is Honda's official KZbin channel. I don't know if this episode is a joke on Andoh's part, but no matter how much we haven't seen each other, there's no way I'll ever forget the faces of my former band members. In other words, I believe that Honda felt that Andoh hated him at the end of his tenure with T-SQUARE, and that he completely distanced himself from T-SQUARE (Andoh) after the 25th anniversary concert. SStill, Honda participated in the ``45th Anniversary Concert'' held last year for the first time in 20 years after leaving the band, and performed with Andoh for a short time. What follows is entirely my personal opinion. I think Andoh felt that the style of Honda's songs didn't suit T-SQUARE. Some of Honda's songs have only a prominent saxophone and no solo performances by other instruments. I think Andoh did not like such songs.

@@joyjapan3504 Oh, that's kinda sad :( Thanks for the quick answer!

Yes this is pretty much a part one. Masato did a lot of stuff after T-Square after all. Y muchas gracias. Espero que todo esté bien 👍.

@@jcuevasproductions Muchas gracias a usted, estimado Jesús.

We need to square up in this game again

Yeah I’m hoping to make one at some point about them

After Glow by DIMENSION in their Hearts album

Yessir I made a post but basically there was a missing chunk of info that was brought to my attention that I thought was really important
