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.

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.

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)

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!

I agree. The ability to beautifully mix all of this talent together is a talent by itself. It gets overlooked constantly. The first comparison that comes to mind is Geddy Lee from Rush. It's true that the drummer, Neil Peart, wrote all the lyrics...but you still have to put music to all of these complex themes that Neil wrote about. That must have been difficult for Geddy but he succeeded. Well done!
