Casiopea - Space Road

[@turnerlarson12]

Casiopea can sound like an entire orchestra despite only having four members

[@afpseb4582]

I'd pay to see this level in 2024

[@マシュードーラン]

The fact that during that section not only are they all playing the same notes, memorized them and did it so tightly is beyond incredible. Insane talent from every member

[@MindstormRecords]

This one song is filled with more talent than 90% of the music in existence. It's infuriating when people talk about "the best" musicians and have absolutely no clue who these guys even are

[@small_ed]

+Mindstorm Records Because the MSM needs to keep Americans thinking that THEY have the best of everything. It's the same type of mindless mindset with the "World Series" (for example) which geographically is confined to the United States (along with a couple of Canadian locations).

[@charleslarson5983]

small ed lol bro you might be schizophrenic, see a doctor

[@zedianzediessi]

That is exceptionally accurate honestly probably less than 10% now with the way pop music is going

[@MrJellyton]

I love casiopea but 90% of music in existence? Overstatement much? And why be angry at people who are simply unaware? Enlighten them.

[@MM-vs2et]

That is such a narrow scope of thought. Don't get me wrong, Casiopea is one of the best fusion bands that has ever existed, love them to death. But 'the best' musician is not just the best technically. Sure, every member of Casiopea has 100 people worth of talent in them. But that alone doesn't make you a good musician, let alone the best. Subjectivity aside, what makes a musician good covers a wide range of factors, Casiopea nails a lot, because they are damn good, but I can think of other artists that nail a lot more. It's not fair to judge contemporary music just based on technical skills. Playing Paganini might make you a virtuoso, but doesn't make you a good musician

that little scissor kick at 1:00 really ties it all together for me

[@jackcurley1591]

5:16-end is some of (quite possibly the) best bass playing I’ve ever heard. Edit: Tetsuo Sakurai is a bass god. He might not have the dexterity of some other players, but he produces a fantastic sound, has great touch, can cleanly leap between chords/notes, and has a very polyphonic quality to his playing. One of my favorite (electric) bassist ever for sure

[@sebuteo]

No question, Jack. The dude is one badass low-register ninja. The whole groop is insanely good ❤️

[@windogendoors7566]

Japanese bass players in general are underrated. Highly technical and skilled. Truly masters of their craft and could go toe to toe and even exceed many of the greats of America. Tetsuo is definitely one of those masters.

[@jackcurley1591]

@@windogendoors7566totally agree! If you haven’t seen it already, check out the live version of Casiopea’s “Black Joke” from 1979. Sakurai has like a 4 minute solo that’s just awesome

[@jackcurley1591]

@@windogendoors7566that recording of black joke also features some out of this world playing from Takashi Sasaki (also very rare to get a live recording of him!) As much as I love Akira Jimbo, Sasaki was on a completely different level

in the "Gentle Hearts" dvd, Tetsuo was 46yrs old at the time, but he looked to be in his early thirties, a sign that music that you enjoy playing doesn't age you.
