[@devoiddude]

The keyboardist! his smile and movement is so infectious its hard not too smile at him.

[@joesamplez]

devoiddude the keyboardist is Minoru Mukaiya the legend!!

[@TheLemonMasterYT]

Listen to "Asia" by minoru, it's an incredible solo

[@devoiddude]

@@TheLemonMasterYT amen brother, it is amazing!

[@mrmaniac3]

This man and his energy is spectacularly beautiful and nothing stands in the way of that fact

[@Bnswiss]

the keyboardist is definitely taking that synthesizer back stage for some sexy time after the show.

[@aisyaputrianti816]

His name is minoru mukaiya

[@bananawieldingorenji]

and he's taking that synthesizer backstage for some very sexy time after the show.

[@archived527]

Sega's favourite band in the 80's.

[@BlackWingGenesis]

+HarmoDevil waht

[@archived527]

What I mean is that many Sega composers in the 80's were influenced by this band. For example, the music of Out Run was imspired by Casiopea.

[@plemgrubern]

not just sega, atlus' shoji meguro (composer of the persona series' music) was also inspired by them

[@archived527]

Yeah, Casiopea were quite influential (though not as much as Yellow Magic Orchestra) on many Japanese game composers.

[@finaltuned2755]

Atlus is a Sega company.

[@nyamnyam1416]

I believe it was the spring of 1983 as I remember Minoru Mukaiya talking about the Photograph album having just been released. My band mates and I went to see them playing at the Yamaha Centre then located in Nakanoshima, Sapporo, Japan. As we were hanging around the centre, looking at keyboards and other instruments on display, the members of Casiopea found us and began talking to us in a very friendly way - just before the concert. They were in their 20s and we were 14 years old. I remember bugger-all of what we talked about. But we had our jackets autographed by the Casiopea members. Of course, being ordinary school boys, we did not speak English back then. And little did we know then that this band would later become so well-known in many parts of the world! Here I am living in an English-speaking country, reading all these comments, many of which coming from countries other than Japan, makes me so happy! It’s been 40 years since I saw them. But I can still listen to and ‘see’ them on KZbin. Not only that, I can even leave comments that I know someone somewhere in the world might get to read. Thanks, internet. Thanks, KZbin. And thanks, Casiopea.

[@triiistone]

Minoru Mukaiya is absolutely mint.. best keyboard player ever.

[@moka8267]

Like the jams :D

[@KT-dz8wz]

Minty Jams, that is!

[@elpalancas]

[@joesamplez]

Casiopea had such a huge presence in Indonesia back in the early 80s and so many Indonesian fusion bands of that era were heavily influenced by this band!!! This band practically set the direction of fusion for Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@pusdiklatdprri773]

[@luxluce]

I adore this song, but occasionally this live version gives me so many inexplicable feelings, between a nostalgia (for something I didn't experience) and an immense happiness that caresses my heart and makes me want to cry. Look at those faces, the audience enjoying the show, Minoru jumping like crazy, just beautiful and they are amazing. I guess that's what music is about. Masters! I am grateful that they have left their mark on the world.

[@schoolgyrl6]

Im with you, I honestly couldn’t imagine a more perfect performance. Even at the end when you seen their faces, they knew this was magic 😊

[@Spicyytofuuu]

I prefer this one over the others idek why. Yes it's amazing seeing Minoru dance he's so good lol ❤ they're all so vibey

[@nicholasalvarado4695]

I feel the exact same as you! It's such an overwhelming inspiration to the human spirit to see these wonderful artists creating a masterpiece before our very eyes, and the very real human reaction to it. The smiles in the crowd and when Sakurai and Noro hit the WHOA @ 4:16. Sheesh. This is a masterclass in music and showmanship.

[@MindTravelsChannel]

Agreed -- I love coming back to this song. It represents the joy of music, especially the way the band plays it with such excitement and energy.

[@drezone]

I love the way the crowd hail at the off-beats! This is song is Jeff Lorber meets EW&F!

The fact that their drummer is named Akira and their bassist is named Tetsuo makes me wonder why their guitarist isn't named Kaneda...

[@IamUncledeuce]

I was living in Guam during the mid-80s and Casiopea would play there occasionally. Billed as "Yamaha's Electric Team" they would play the supper clubs and other Japanese tourist venues which were thriving at that time. Wonderfully talented. A night of watching their performance was an awe inspiring event.

[@gcohailagdeyvis9206]

Es del año que nací es este concierto increíble ! Ohhh que buena música disfrutaba la gente aquellos tiempos !
