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....".

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.

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!

So did I, but the concept of "the best" might be slightly off the mark. 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)
I learned about their existence by pure luck, with a recommended video simply called "Japanese funk", best thing that happened to me musically. Efficient writing, insane playing skills, insane live performance, these guys were absolutely epic

For me, I played a few freestyle chords on the piano on a FaceTime call with my friend, and he told me what I was playing sounded like Galactic Funk.
