Akira Wada has been fighting against illness for a long time. The fans wanted him back. That's too bad. I think he is happy that foreigners can pray for him...
Casiopea at this time had an extremely different ring back then. It's nice to see how things happened at this time. I've been listening to casiopea for about 3-4 years now I haven't listened to everyone of their songs yet because I'd ruin of the specialty of listening to them. I haven't heard lady violetta until two days ago. This Akira Wada guy sounds very similar to an artist named Chance Thrash. It's very interesting to see how casiopea's music has changed over 40 years time from this to something more loud and harmonious. Thank you for uploading this video.
There is a band called PRISM, and Akira Wada and Katsutoshi Morisono are guitarists there. At that time, Casiopea and Prism were half as popular in Japan. This session was a dream collaboration for us Japanese.
@@piazzanero9630 I have not heard of prism untill you mentioned it. could you tell me casiopea's popularity in japan and to other bands. And when were they at their peak? I assume now they aren't as relevant/popular as opposed to back then. as I am American and I couldn't get much information off this band but from a wiki and TH-cam videos that are in Japanese which I don't understand.
@@Cazodore There is a Record that became a popular turning point of Casiopea. THUNDER LIVE ('80) and MINT JAMS ('82). Both are LIVE versions. Thunder Live gained recognition in Japan, and Mint Jams became popular in Europe, including England. A native of Iceland, Mezzoforte professed, "Fans and inspired by Casiopea". Casiopea's Record debut was in 1979, and Prism, which debuted in 1977, was also popular. Katsutoshi Morizono joined from the popular rock band 四人囃子 (YONIN-BAYASHI) and LADY VIOLETTA is a song from that band. Casiopea was a popular band even before their debut. Among the many fusion bands in Japan, it is characterized by its popularity among women, and produced many guitar kids. Guitar Issei Noro says he was inspired by Joe Pass and mastered his textbook. Akira Jinbo of the drums is the third drummer. : I use machine translation. Thank you for your understanding.
Issei Noro and Tetsuo Sakurai have entered amateur band contests from the beginning as Casiopea. YAMAHA sponsored amateur band contest “EASTWEST” The first EASTWEST 1976 : Members: Issei NORO: Tetsuo SAKURAI: Hidehiko KOIKE: Toru SUZUKI The second EASTWEST 1977 : Members: Issei NORO: Tetsuo SAKURAI: Minoru MUKAIYA: Takashi SASAKI Noro won the best guitarist award twice. It attracted attention and had fans since then. The first drummer, Toru SUZUKI, debuted at PRISM in 1977. Akira JINBO has been participating since the year of this session. He was a 20 year-old college student at the time.
There used to be a significantly higher quality version of this session on TH-cam. Only one song seems to be preserved, you can listen here: th-cam.com/video/p-LL7pyzRYI/w-d-xo.html. I hope the rest of the audio is recovered one day.
It's great that the full upload of this has surfaced 👍 Although it's in bad audio quality, I'm ok with it. Thanks for the UP! (also, who was on guitar? I remember an upload of Lady Violetta here th-cam.com/video/p-LL7pyzRYI/w-d-xo.html saying Morizono was on the left, Wada was in front, and Noro was on the right)
Obviously, from the song called “Black Joke”, the left is Issei Noro, the right is Akira Wada, and the middle is Katsutoshi Morizono. That's right. I assure you.😸👍💨‼
後記：サンダーライブでの神保彰さんのデビューは衝撃でした。“ドラムが代わっただけでこんなにも違う・・何が違うんだろう？” 🙄
このスタジオライブにも驚きました。あの二人がカシオペアでギターを弾くなんて・・しかも “LADY VIOLETTA” が聴けるなんて・・。
森園さんのギターって人を惹きつける “何か” があるのがこのLIVEでも充分に伝わってくると思います。ミストーンなんて気にしません。ジャズコードです🙀。
※ この音源は私の失敗の録音です😰💦。使いまわしのテープ、BIAS設定の間違い。それでも何とか補正しました。(自分が一番落ち込んどる🥵💢)
迷いましたが貴重な演奏だと思いUPさせていただきました。視聴していただきありがとうございます。😸
私も昔、録音しました。
Amazing music. R.I.P Akira Wada 🙏🏿🙏🏿
私も昔録音しました。
この森園さんとのライブがCASIOPEAのライブで一番好きです。
今考えると、最初で最後の驚きのライブですよね。
録音に失敗した私は当時自己嫌悪に陥り、落ち込んだ覚えがあります。
でもPCの力で時間をかけて補正しました。皆さんに聴いて頂けるのが何より嬉しいです。
NHKFMのスタジオライブですね。私もエアチェツクして長い間カセットテープで聞いていました。また聞くことができて感激です。
この頃のカシオペアは粗削りながら若さ溢れる演奏がとってもいいですね。ゲストの２人も素晴らしい。
最初これを聴いた時「プロって凄いなぁ～」と思いました。初めて演奏するレディーバイオレッタとそのアレンジ、和田さんの完璧な演奏・・。
そういえば、トミー・リピューマがサンダーライブのSPACE ROADを聴いて「この演奏は若い人でなければできない」
という感じのニュアンスで褒めていたのを憶えています。当時のFUSIONの粗削りでもストイックな感じ、とてもいいですよね。😉👍
和田アキラのカッティングが！
凄まじい、サイコーだわ！
正規ギタリストよりリズム隊に呼応するのはセッションの醍醐味だけど、凄すぎた
I never get tired of Midnight Rendezvous. Cheers for this version!
Thank you for the nice comment.
As a Japanese, I am very happy to be accepted by foreigners.
@@piazzanero9630 No worries mate! Arigato gozaimasu from the Netherlands :)!
こんな音源があったのですね。聴けるだけで幸せです。ありがとうございます。
それにしても、どうしてこの時代の音楽はこれほどいいのでしょう。
同感です 😉
私も同感でございます。
料理もちゃんと包丁で切り刻んだりニボシからダシをとるあの感じ…。
自分で弾いたり叩いたりするから味に違いが出ると思います。
うわ～アップありがとうございます！カセットテープ紛失し、もう絶対、二度と聴けないと思ってあきらめてました～～！！感涙
配信始めて良かったぁ～！ UPして良かったぁ～！😄 と励まされるコメント。
こちらこそ涙😂です。ありがとうございました。
@@piazzanero9630 様
今考えてみたら…この素晴らしい演奏聴けたの35年振り！当時何度も聴いていたので…昨晩ひっさしぶりに聴いていて…いまでも全て頭の中に入っていた自分にも驚きました！タイムスリップしたような気分です✨✨ホント聴けて嬉しいです😆ありがとうございました🎉🎊💫
アップロード感謝です。これは素晴らしいスタジオ・ライブでした。
自分も40年前に生で聴き、カセットにも録音していました。
すべての音がキラキラ輝いてますが、特に和田アキラの全力弾きはシビレました。
アキラさん。プロとはいえバンドに溶け込んだこの演奏。
きっと陰でかなり練習してきたのではないでしょうか？
彼の実直な音楽に対する姿勢が見えるようで、ファンが多いのも頷ける演奏だと思います。
コメントありがとうございました。👍
松岡直也のときが凄かった！
この人、こんなプレイするんだ〜、なんだこれ！って
正直、ソロなんていらない！バッキング凄くてあんぐり！でした
@@KU-Ni-uh2fs さんへ。
当時、松岡さんが「ロック少年のギター小僧って感じ」と言っておられました。
JAZZ出身の松岡さんからすれば、アキラさんの演奏は「ロック」なんだとその時思いました。
松岡さんに気に入られていたようで、長い間メンバーを務めていましたね。👍
いやー、懐かしいです！
和田アキラさんが先日亡くなられて（涙）、検索してココに辿り着きました。
感謝です❗️ありがとう❗️
和田アキラさんの訃報。今知りました。ポンタさんに続きとてもやるせないです。
コメントありがとうございました。
@@piazzanero9630 さん
返信有難うございます。
青山純さん、佐山雅弘さんと、PRISM関係の方々が若くして永眠されてて悲しいですね。
森園さんは長生きして〜！！
I love how even on “simple” songs like I love new york, they REALLY spice it up and keep it complicated! This version is great!
Thank you for your comments. I like this version, too.
UPありがとうございます！
当時カセットに録音して現在でも聞くことはできますが
yuotubeは簡単に聞うことができるのでありがたいです。
言われて気付くとはこのことですが、私も自分のアーカイブを簡単に聴ける方法の一つだと今気付きました。😳😸
Прекрасная музыка!!!!!❤
この「SPACE ROAD」の演奏は傑作中の傑作❗️です。
凄いコメント‼ UPした甲斐がありました。
和田・森園さんの前で特に張り切っていたのかもしれない？です😸。
鈴木リカ徹の件もあった事ですし・・・😱💨
それにしても神保さんの KICKのスピード尋常じゃない🙀‼
音質凄いですね､アップ感謝します｡和田､森園の両氏のソロは涙モノでした｡サウンドメイク､アレンジは流石で､当時のカシオペアにジャストフィット､カッティングも素晴らしくMUSTと感じました｡どちらか一人サイドGで加入して欲しいくらいです｡二人とも系統は野呂さんに近いのでグループ感も直ぐに出たのでしょうね｡両氏ともカシオペアサウンドに合ってますよね｡
コメントありがとうございます。
私が演奏している訳でもないのにとても嬉しいです。
当時「このまま続けてもいいのに」「今度、野呂さんがプリズムで弾かないかなぁ～」なんて勝手に思っていました。

最初、気付かなかったのですが “窓” の猫ちゃんウイットに富んでいて、とてもかわいいです😺🧡。
Excelent find. These guys are absolutely insane live
The start already killed me, such great music, blessed.
Thank you for your comment. I'm glad I posted it.
This version of Midnight Rendezvous gave me high energy! Thank you! ありがとうございます from Texas! ☆⌒(＊＾∇゜)v

Gives me hope that there are pristine recordings of these events somewhere to be released on a deluxe 45 RPM LP boxset
I also hope a clean and complete version will be released.
これも懐かしい!
ワタスもカセットに録音しました。
知る限りではカシオペアの最高のライブだと思います！
カシオペアもアキラさんも森さんも、全力なのに繊細なのが素晴らしいですよね👍。
野呂さんのギターだけでなく、日本の一流ギタリストが２人も加わってるので、かなり気合いの入ったセッションになってますね！
magic ray をライブで聴きたい
i love New york ❤️😍
カシオペアでトリプルギターはかなりレアだな
流石の凄さですね
RIP Akira Wada-san!

The recording condition of this live was bad, so I hesitated and posted it. If there is a sound source with high sound quality, I want it too.
@@piazzanero9630 Even if the audio quality is bad, it’s better to have it uploaded than not have it uploaded at all, in my opinion.
録音状態充分良いですよ
ありがとうございます。
そう言っていただき、時間を掛けて補正した甲斐がありました。
ミッドナイトランデヴーがとても明るい雰囲気^_^
可愛らしい女の子と一緒の深夜ドライブ、みたいな感じ(笑)
この曲。特に導入部分からのサビが私は好きです👌。気持ちが明るくなって弾む気分にさせてくれるのです😺💨。
当時、付き合っていた彼女は “宇宙の中に迷路を造って彷徨い、出たと思ったら月の上でフワフワしている感じ”。

Priceless stuff...

Thank you. If you say so, I'm glad I took time to correct it.

It's with Katsutoshi Morizono. I don't like Wαda's style.
