Casiopea - Swallow

[@DDD_Tinker]

I've listened to pretty much every Casiopea song and every album, and out of all their catalogue of masterpieces, this one might be my favorite of them all =

[@AgentZ7]

The drums and bass keep this intertwining tempo, and then the keyboard just lights the fuse!!!

[@jirehjirehjirehjireh]

And the guitar is the cataclysmic explosion

[@AL3X7770]

This really congos my bongos

[@Alejandro-fr9jc]

HAHA it’s the same rule with blue lagoon or ready to fly 😂

[@TommyPKFire]

This song has everything you need

[@anexceptionallylargecat775]

i agree. also love your name.

[@0ldCat]

..and then some 😸

[@SolvingOurKreation956]

2:58 is so amazing!

[@zippitydoodah8771]

Those diminished scales are brutal at that speed.

[@JohnSmith-hs1hn]

No wonder they never play it live lol

[@JohnSmith-hs1hn]

@безумный ученый And Kazumi never plays cokumo island live :(

[@RideauMancien]

More like ascending minor scale then descending whole tone? But yeah, killer lick anyways

[@DimasTheYoutubers]

@@JohnSmith-hs1hn they play that song around 79 era were takashi sasaki was there, but they never record it using camera and just an audio

[@x91iNFINITi]

WOW.. This is literally mind blowing.

[@kramer5772]

great opening for the year 1980 and a finale for the 70's

*I LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS ALBUM !!!*

Tetsuo Sakurai has participated in the Daytona USA soundtrack playing bass on "Let's go away" (Extended Edition)

[@myway9128]

This song and Galactic Funk made Issei Noro a guitar god. I'd take this over the fretboard tapping stuff anyday👍

[@yoshi.bronze2654]

メチャクチャカッコイイです！！ 痺れる、、、 カシオペアをもっと知りたいと思います

[@SucioMarkus]

1:17 till about 3:37. Mind blowing. Doesn't get better then this.

[@jirehjirehjirehjireh]

I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. Every new rhythm feels so emotionally nostalgic yet insanely crazy and nee

[@jirehjirehjirehjireh]

SucioMarkus I like to think all the band members are challenging each other to play their hardest in the studio during this

[@re_pete]

I love this song so much for the fact it reminds me of the soundtrack for an old ps2 game I used to play called auto modellista. The game wasn’t groundbreaking but the music surely was. (I’m referring to the European version btw)

[@SavingTheUndesireables]

YOOO Auto Modellista was the shit

[@tommyofastora]

Wait are you saying NA version got the crap soundtrack? It's awful

[@re_pete]

@@tommyofastora idk, I know the us and eu versions are somewhat different so I thought to add that just in case

This song is of KyoAni was a music group and produced the Speed Racer soundtrack This song is the spirit of Shounen main character. This song is the ultimate motivational speech. This song is the neck and neck rivalry coming to an all time climax. This song is what Rainbow Road sounds like in bed. This song is the moans of God playing with her clit. This song is what your first high on cocaine feels like. This song is your first 80mph pull on the freeway by yourself as a teen. This song is chasing your dreams. This is a good fucking song.

[@Farm-Key]

Gran turismo vibes

[@leomux2004]

Same, I listen to this while playing GT7, it suits the game like a glove!

[@MM-vs2et]

Probably another Casiopea song with the same name. They rework their stuff a lot

[@SamplaysMC12]

@@MM-vs2et one of the things that threw me off when I first got into Casiopea a few years back. Now I don’t know the names I just know exactly what to hum and whistle when the song comes on different albums.
