@@miltonmilky5970 If you ask me, Takashi Sasaki’s flows remind me from that of Buddy Rich so he’s pretty much at that level. Don’t get me wrong, akira is an excellent drummer as well and has marked a long and outstanding reputation in the band but even with Takashi being in the band only for a short while, his drumming was on a much higher scale. He’s one of the pioneers that put Casiopea on the face of japan back then.
I still like Akira's style of playing better and its complexity, but Takashi Sasaki can play those insane fast rolls and really smooth sounding fills which i like too
@Clemens Schrage I'm still trying to figure out when exactly he left the band. I read somewhere it was during the making of Superflight, which was released in 1979 according to Discogs, but in this footage of Space Road allegedly from 1980 it looks and sounds like him though I can't tell for sure. ruclips.net/video/7s0PWZokPAc/видео.html
@@pleasetellmethatyouloveme6922 There's one bootleg show with Sasaki playing, 'Live @ Lo-D Plaza 10.10.1979,' which is only one of two tapes where he plays live. The other one is on New Years Eve 1979 and is very poor quality (and may just be one of the last shows he played with them). Other than work with Casiopea on their Debut and SuperFlight, he also played on an album called 'Spiral Fusion' with the rest of the original Casiopea lineup, but no complete upload of the album exists on youtube. As far as after Casiopea goes, I think he worked on production duties on other recordings and did session work, but mostly resigned himself from the major music industry. Alot of this information is speculative, mind you, but he's such an enigmatic figure with such little information about him that its hard to really find anything concrete.
@@pleasetellmethatyouloveme6922 the youtube channel tetsu juno has a bunch of casiopea uploads, including 3 songs from spiral fusion (titles are in japanese)
@@pleasetellmethatyouloveme6922 i misspelled it, the channel name is tetsu jino, and has a motorcycle profile pic. Id link it directly but im on mobile.
Right now I'm thinking how is it possible that I'll be 35 years old in 2023 and I've just heard this band. I'm too excited to hear it, I'm already waiting for a tour to see you guys live!!
This performance has so much energy and enthusiasm. It's awesome to listen to. Their precision and cohesion whilst playing live are mesmerising to see. An amazing performance. 👏🏾 🤌🏾
One of the tightest pieces of music I have ever listened to / watched. Sasaki is a monster alright but Sakurai is another one if you ask me. This rhythmic duo is kind of the Japanese cousin to the Mike Clark/Paul Jackson duo. But sped up.
Yeah I don't know how you could call this sound "bland" but I guess somehow it was for him. In any case, I do actually like both Takash and Jimbo's drumming, and I think that Jimbo really did fit the band's sound better than people give him credit for.
@@antonzigando150 Casiopea did get very poppy as their career went on, but they still had great songs. I can't find anything about Takashi or what he did since, would love to hear some more of his playing, he was an absolute beast.

この時代のカシオペアはエキサイティングだったな〜
佐々木隆のタイコが、全てをリードしていたと言っても過言ではない。
別のバンドみたいに違う。
ドラムとベースが中心でカッコいい。
Akira Jimbo is a great drummer, but sweet Lord in Heaven Takashi Sasaki is an absolute beast
And this is why Casiopea - Casiopea is their best album.
what makes him better?

His drumming reminds me way too much of Bruford's and Cobham's.
I air drum to this, and i'm exhausted when the song is over. Can't imagine how it feels to actually play that
Imagine seeing this live...holy shit
you can, they have shows in Japan this year!
That bass tone is awesome!
El famoso Jaco tone !
@@blop-a-blop9419 Facts, smoothed out J Bass sound, pretty sure this guy kept his frets, though.
Maxon flanger pedal
god i wish i was alive back then so i could see them live at the Pit Inn. has to be an incredible experience hearing them so up close and personal
I love japanese jazz fusion, thanks to my dad for introducing me this band 6 years ago. Takashi's drumming insane!
I am so happy that your Dad introduced you to Casiopea. Respect to him. I was introduced to Casiopea via Meiko Kaji.
hey you're that guy who uploaded pepsi man theme song
wtf lmao

We need more footage of 1979 Casiopea.

3rdの２作目が結構自分にとって違和感なく聴けて、良かった？って思っているさなかにこの映像を見つけたんですが、（ミッドナイトランデブーも）、冗談抜きで鳥肌が立っちゃった。レコードで聴いて知っていたTimeLimitとは別物といっていいほど、スピード感、タイト感が違います。音楽をさほど知っている人間ではありませんが、これほど違うとは。そして、佐々木さん、すごいな。カシオペアには神保さんがいないと・・・なって思っていたけど、この人も一時代を築けた人なんだなあって、今になって思っています。
Today, on the 20th of October,
1am
i discovered the self titled Casiopea (1979) album
i’m falling in love with this group already🫶🏿
Bro I've been trapped in the Casiopea hole for 1 year. It does not get old. Mint Jams forever.
2:39 that drummer is killing it!
takashi sasaki 🙌
Takashi Sasaki is a beast on the drums
Is killing it from 0:02 to 3:53...Guy is insane
Love seeing the smiles at 1:51 on Issei’s and Tetsuro’s face after his funky slide.
Takashi Sasakiis so goooood.
Takashi Sasaki on drums...wow..!!
this brings a tear to my eye. what wonderful musicianship.
oh my dear lord ♥
So you've discovered the japanese fusion masters
Wilburgur listens to casiopea? wowie
I know what you mean ;-)
holly shit you listen to casiopea as well
huh? WHAT?
俺が聴いた中ではカシオペアの演奏として最高のものだと思う
It was 1979. It is still good in 2021.
music will live forever
この時代のカシオペアとスペース･サーカスは世界的に見ても特別なバンドだったと思う。
One of the funkiest jazz fusion performances ever
しっかし、今見ると改めて凄まじく上手い方々だと感じます！本当に凄い！だから今でもすごい👍
佐々木さん、お元気でしょうか？
Right now I'm thinking how is it possible that I'll be 35 years old in 2023 and I've just heard this band. I'm too excited to hear it, I'm already waiting for a tour to see you guys live!!
The bass and druming are wild
ホント スリル スピード テクニックですね
わずか2カメのuマチックのビデオなのに
音質もよくライブ感満載のビデオですね
Takashi Sasaki is so FUCKING GOOD
他のパートからしたらやりづらそうとは正直思うけどドラムのやりたい放題感見てて面白いし何よりキレッキレだから最初期のライブ映像が一番好き
16分後打ちでアクセントを決める向谷＆佐々木が素晴らしい。こんなバンドが今出てきてもかなり凄いと思う。
Takashi's drumming so godly
whooaa... this is one of my fave tune. Mr. Sakurai's bass line so great and busy.
I recently discovered this amazing jazz fusion band, and I love it!! Japanese masters!
This performance has so much energy and enthusiasm. It's awesome to listen to. Their precision and cohesion whilst playing live are mesmerising to see. An amazing performance. 👏🏾 🤌🏾
かっちょえー！
佐々木さんのハットさばき神！
I can't stop replaying 2:02 holy shit those are some dexterous fingers o_O
That speed is unstoppable! I respect this version than the later ones
My only inspiration to keep on being a jazz bassist is Tetsuo Sakurai :))
硬派なCASIOPEA、尖ったCASIOPEAも抜群にカッチョいい♪
Vaya joyita los descubrí por spotify y valió la pena cada maldito segundo jajs
Todo el álbum es una maravilla
This band, their music has what other bands should have. heart
one of the great band in the world.
Who needs drugs when you can have music like this to take you on a natural high?
PIT IN 何回か行きました。懐かしい😊
ピットインのカシオペア40年前です。夢職人もEASTWEST1978年の決勝大会優秀グループ賞です。カシオペアが少し先輩、僕らも頑張ってました。
この当時、こんなに上手いバンドが日本に他いたであろうか、世界でも
通用したはず。カシオペア神の
2:34 til the end is so good, they're amazing
17歳のとき、この場所にいましたが、あまりの凄さに衝撃を受けて、ギター買いました！因みに買ったギターは、Jeff Beckモデルですが何か^_^。
私はこの頃の泥臭いカシオペアが大好きだ！
うわぁ🎹Rhodes だ！コロコロと玉が転がるような音が気持ち良かったな〜
フェンダー社の画期的なエレピアノ今も欲しいです。古いのも高いだろうな、。
WHAT A BAND! Drums and bass are sick!!
Some refine Mahavishnu´s flavour here btw; with Billy´s power influence..AWESOME
I love how insane is their playing but how cool is the music is to listen to
I can't stop playing and sharing this video!
佐々木さんに神保さん、カシオペアのドラムは神だな。
All of this is so good. They can play thats for sure.
デビュー当時からこの超絶技巧見せつけですからね、すっごいですよね！
スリル、スピード、テクニックが決まり文句だったとか(笑)
すごいユニゾンです
@@yukkuricar180 スーパーテクニックですか 笑笑
one best band of future jazz funk of the century
こんなキレキレのドラムパラディドルは見た事ない３５年前の日本のミュージシャン海外でも一流だろう
Tetsuo is the best fushion bass player ever
god, to have been in that room for this
What the hell, Sasaki is a beast.
That was "Blazing"...reminds me of a video I owned in the 1980's "Takanaka" Goblin story...
5 Stars!
--van
That busy bass, wonderful playing as always Mr. Sakurai!
初期カシオペアは、バンドテク優先のややマニアックな感じでしたが、今だにこれほどのバンドは中々いないですね。
若い頃の野呂さん、櫻井さんも素敵ですが、特に 佐々木さんの変則的なドラムと向谷さんが凄いですね(*^^)v
This piece and "ready to fly" from Masayoshi Takanaka are my all time favorite . So awesome, so energetic. Makes me feel alive!
これが35年前なんてなぁ。音楽の進化って、何なんだろう。
Amazingly energetic and skillful!!
Tetsuo Sakurai... awesome...
I just love how tetsuo is playing a bass double the size of him 😂😂
Que grupazo! Tiene un nivel muy alto como para no haberlo considerado como uno de los mejores grupos.
とっても懐かしいtime limitニュースとかでも使用されてたり😊
crazy that their debut album is about the same age as my dad. really hope to see P4 live one day
1979 Casiopea was so goated
Back in Junior year HS this was my jam
That's jaw-dropping...
As expected .....KILLING IT!
ドラマーが違うとワイルドだな
Beautiful
This is insane! love it!
この頃のカシオペア好きだあ~。粗削りだけどメチャクチャgrooveしてる。
WILD&ROUGH！佐々木さんのドラムがいい！野呂さんもロックなテイストがいい！
YAMAHAじゃなくてGIBSONなんかで弾いたらもっと粘り気あっていいのになあ。
野呂さんは頑固だから、自分が思ったようにしかしないだろう。だから、今みたいに凡庸なサウンドになってしまった。
野呂さんはコンテストのベストギタリスト賞を受賞してヤマハSGをもらって、それまで使用していたレスポールDXからSGにギターを変えました。
野呂さんの当時のインタビューで「ヤマハのギターはギブソン系のギターより軽くてキツい音が出る。そんなところが僕の性に合ってるんですよ。」と言ってました。
当時の野呂さんにはSGの方が好みの音だったんでしょうね。
ライブ総集編二枚組DVD「the way of CASIOPEA」(ジェネオン)の一番最初にこの部分が収録されています。
What happened 1979 in japan? Just awesome!!
やっと再アップされましたか！ ありがとうございます！！
この速さでベースを同じように弾くと、右指が攣ってしまいます。多分CASIOPEAのTime Limit史上最速w これ以上早いのは見たことがない。
これより速いのYou Tubeに転がってましたよ！
Killer bass.
Tetsuo Sakurai is a monster! Heck, they all are monsters!
Wow...this is beyond the the unbelievable!!
Can’t get enough of that bass
One of the tightest pieces of music I have ever listened to / watched. Sasaki is a monster alright but Sakurai is another one if you ask me. This rhythmic duo is kind of the Japanese cousin to the Mike Clark/Paul Jackson duo. But sped up.
perfect

てっちゃんのベースライン、なんじゃこりゃ？！まじなける😂
45年前の音とは思えない。
みのるさんのオルガンは50年前かな😅
And it says Takashi left the band bc of his complicated rhythms and the bland sound of the band for him... goddamn monster...
He's one of the best drummers I've heard. Such a pity he only lasted a couple of albums. The next drummer Jimbo was really average and pedestrian.
Yeah I don't know how you could call this sound "bland" but I guess somehow it was for him. In any case, I do actually like both Takash and Jimbo's drumming, and I think that Jimbo really did fit the band's sound better than people give him credit for.
@@theofficiallobst6592 it definitely fit the bands sound, but the first LP is way rawer and funkier than the later albums

いいねぇ。
カシオペアの格好良さは
しっかり出てる。
この「TIME LIMIT」は、1979年前半から半ばにかけて演奏されたものに非常に近い。当時はクレイジーで、佐々木隆さんのテクニックによってビートが予測不可能だったんだ。
ハイハットの使い方が独特で、複雑で巧みなビートを得意とする。
実は、1979年の冬頃、PIT INNでTIME LIMITに続いてMIGHTY MOUSEを演奏した時の音源があるんです。この映像よりも全てがクレイジーでワイルドなのです。
もし1979年の音源をお持ちの方がいらっしゃいましたら、私のチャンネル説明をご覧になって、そこから続けてみてください。以上です。
1:30 the little rendetion from sasaki sensei just blow out my mind!
This music Call“CIA music”in JAPAN
Old music
Good job
