The main Mario theme is definitely borrowing from the T-Square song 'Sister Marian', and in my opinion Soyo Oka's 'Battle Mode' music from Super Mario Kart borrows from the T-Square song 'Rodan'. The fact that members of T-Square (along with their contemporary band Dimension) now help create Mario music brings me great joy. T-Square's musical inspiration on Mario has come full circle.

This is called jugalbandi in Indian/Pakistani classical music. Usually two or three artists will play, say, 16 or 32 measures each.

I am so glad to see this posted and transcribed here. T-Square is my absolute favorite jazz act, and Casiopeia is right up there with them. T-Square is so incredibly underrated and little known outside of Japan, and they are, in my personal opinion, the most skilled and talented jazz fusion group to emerge from the scene. Masahiro Andoh (first appears at 0:58) is the Japanese Eddie van Halen and is a phenomenal guitarist; Mitsuri Sutoh (first appears at 0:23) is one of my favorite bassists, and his slap play style is like ear candy; the late Hirotaka Izumi (first appears at 0:45) really was like a modern-day Mozart as his solo would suggest; Takeshi Ito (first appears at 1:05) is a highly underrated saxophonist, EWI player and flautist; and Issei Noro's (first appears at 0:52) unique funky style practically defined the Japanese Fusion movement. This is one of my favorite performances of the two groups, the fun they have while goofing around and trading solos is positively enthralling. Thank you and your assistants for transcribing this moment so beautifully. More people need to know about T-Square and Casiopeia.

mutliple people have already pointed out 1:32 but im adding a drop to the bucket because fuck that was genuinely really funny

[@guynamedlove6426]

im so glad this is getting recognition. this is one of my favorite live performances ever by a band. Casiopea and T-Square are the bands btw if anyone was wondering

[@potato4481]

HELL YEAH FIGHTMAN!!! love this

[@namachef]

Fuck I love Casiopea and The Square. Absolute master musicians.

The only dude missed in this crossover lineup is Tetsuo Sakurai.. That electric guitar slap part by Issei Norro is legendary..

[@chillmarky4347]

The best way I can explain this piece is two people battling neck and neck wresting for the advantage . And in their toil, at 1:31 the fight drags them into a tea parlor, populated by only the most exquisite clientele. Then shortly after they fall back into the fight.

0:58 ooOOOoooo, that guitar solo was sooooo clean!!

The saxophone is so under appreciated here. He's absolutely shredding.

[@oldschoolrock4evr]

Rare to see so many gifted musicians in one area the all have soul and technique usally it goes one without the other

[@Globerson]

“Literally play anything quickly” 😂😂😂

[@joakobm60]

the fact that the guitar player was the first to slap and the bass players doing the iconic guitar riffs

[@mark16joshua]

the tone of the second guitar was chef kiss

[@damookster5919]

When the band teacher asks “who wants the solo”, but the entire group is talented

[@govenerdhook2167]

this is exactly why casiopea is one of the greatest and most underrated bands of all time

[@clarinet_guy2139]

The Mozart quote killed me. 😂

Thanks to that video I discovered T-Square and Casiopea in 2022. Didn't stop listening to their amazing work. I didn't know T-Square's song "Truth" was the F1 theme on japanese television in the 80s/90s. While watching live versions of "Truth" on youtube I was surprise by the amount of Japanese comments mentioning the song reminds them of Ayrton Senna and the old days of F1.
