Ms. Keiko Matsui, one of the three memembers of the band, is now teaching at a college in Japan. She has been in USA for some years and has been awarded for her excellence by a US smooth jazz committee in 2000 and 2001. In Japan in 80s, so many TV and radio programs put songs of smooth jazz bands, such as, Cosmos, Casiopea (Japanese), Fruitcake (Dutch), Mezzoforte (Icelandic), and Shakatak (UK), on air.

I clicked on this because I thought the name of the band was "Japanese Synthesizer Band." Now that I realize their name was Cosmos, I'm going to start a band called Japanese Synthesizer Band. Wish me luck.
Nice solo with the CS01 and a BC1 breath controller. I tried to use one of them with my DX100 and ended up drowning in my own drool. Thankfully that was back in the 80's and the carpet has dried up since then.
Yeah!! Keiko Matsui playing a breath controller!!!. There is a lot of nice keyboards!!. But exist another band like that today? I mean... 3 girls in synthesizers playing... progressive, or new age, or classic? Think about it.
Suteki!! What a beautiful music! So soft e-piano, synleads, crystal vintage drumms ...mmm sweet! Doumo arigatou for this video! P.S. Before this I knew only Yellow Magic Orchestra) Thank you again =)

This is pretty good. I only notice that the flow of the piece feels 'condensed' because it moves from one section to the next quite fast, hence the slightly "elevator music" feel. Perhaps if the separate sections were given more time to develop, it would begin to feel less like an "accompaniment". After all, there is only -one- solo lasting longer than 8 bars! In any case, I find the overall feeling groovy in an interestingly clean and classy manner. It's evident in the way they dress too.
Wow this is beyond amazing!!! Thank you for this footage :)

Cool, I can't recall having seen anyone actually use the breath controller before. Yamaha left a breath controller input off of the latest Motif - probably because it was rarely used
@Alcatus15 жыл бұрын
How should I say? I've always took it as... erm... "galaxy-shooting-stars-type-romanticism-LSD-trip" kind of thing? The band Casiopea takes inspiration from the same source but executes it differently. COSMOS just does it lighthearted. But if I take it as something trying to do what it obviously isn't, then it has a slightly cheesy quality to it. I don't like it that way, of course, so I take it the way I think it should: the way that feels most fitting.

@seaboatsk While a number of those bands did cross over into Smooth Jazz at times, it's important to note that they were mainly Jazz Fusion - which was far more popular than Smooth Jazz in Japan throughout the '80s. Especially Casiopea.

I have to disagree that US companies don't innovate. Both Ensoniq and Emu (when they were separate companies) with both very innovative and came up with some great Keyboards. Not to forget that Moog, Arp and Kurzweil were also American companies. I still have my ESQ-1 and Micromoog synths). That said, I DO love my new Korg M3-88!
