Casiopea

A vivid sound that embodies the driving force of Japanese fusion
A representative masterpiece by Casiopea that combines speed and technique.

Casiopea, a band that led the Japanese fusion scene in the 1980s, unleashes a crystallization of light and precise sound. The flowing melodies woven by Issei Noro's guitar and Minoru Mukaitani's keyboards are urbane and sophisticated, yet full of passion. The ensemble, an exquisite blend of jazz and rock, instantly elevates the listener, giving the album an "upbeat" dynamic, just as the title suggests.
