I was a fragile teenager, when this was released some 40 years ago. And Mr. Sakurai totally crushed my young bass soul back then - this is impossible! A few years later, I bought my own BB-3000, and since I've been trying to reach this level. With no success, so far. ❤
I heard the part at 5:12 for the first time the other day and had to count out the hits. They're hitting the upbeat of 4, then 3, then 2, then 1, all perfectly. Damn that's good.
@@donkingisafatbiotch Start at 5:09 to get a feel for the downbeat, then the first offbeat hit is at about 5:15. That first hit is the and of 4, but you have to just feel the downbeat (which they don't play). If you just count to 4 repeatedly without losing tempo, the hits should all land on offbeats, except each one is three beats apart. I'm sure that was more confusing than before, but unless I can talk in person it's kind of hard to explain.

I believe it was the spring of 1983 as I remember Minoru Mukaiya talking about the Photograph album having just been released. My band mates and I went to see them playing at the Yamaha Centre then located in Nakanoshima, Sapporo, Japan. As we were hanging around the centre, looking at keyboards and other instruments on display, the members of Casiopea found us and began talking to us in a very friendly way - just before the concert. They were in their 20s and we were 14 years old. I remember bugger-all of what we talked about. But we had our jackets autographed by the Casiopea members. Of course, being ordinary school boys, we did not speak English back then. And little did we know then that this band would later become so well-known in many parts of the world! Here I am living in an English-speaking country, reading all these comments, many of which coming from countries other than Japan, makes me so happy! It’s been 40 years since I saw them. But I can still listen to and ‘see’ them on RU-vid. Not only that I can even leave comments that I know someone somewhere in the world might get to read. Thanks, internet. Thanks, RU-vid. And thanks, Casiopea.
HOW THE FUCK did i get to know this only fucking 30+ years latter goddamn this is the BEST. um abraço pros brasileiros lendo meu comentário fizeram bem em chegar até aqui olha esse solo de bateria porra
Casiopea é vida. E nós temos o Azimuth, que não fica muito pra trás. Mas o estilo exuberante do Casiopea é cativante, sem dúvida. Os caras mandam demais. Fraternal abraço.
I think I might understand the name now. I think it has something to do with how the chorus riff starts well before beat one. I only studied music at a basic college level and not well either. I do love listening to older compositions like this still though, like all the time lol
I think everyone under a certain age thinks that when they first stumble upon J-Fusion. Much of the appeal, at least for me at first, is that there is an entire world of music just like the computer games they're fond of.
