When two bassists and two drum legends collide in 40 minutes of pure Tokyo fusion chaos.
Recorded 1997.08.26 at The Mint Club, Tokyo, Japan. Originally on a TV broadcast, which included a cover of Get Back.
Acting
Sakurai and Naruse trading four-bar phrases like gladiators.
Sound
Jimbo's snare tuning should be illegal in 12 countries.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Sakurai's last performance with Casiopea before his 2000 departure; the dual-bass setup was a rare special occasion, not standard lineup.
Casiopea defined Japanese fusion in the 1980s alongside T-Square, making this 1997 broadcast a generational torch-passing moment captured on late-night TV.
