If you're into fusion jazz at all, two of the best bands of all time hail from Japan: Casiopea and T-square. Their influence is felt deeply in lots of 80s/90s Japanese PC and Video game soundtracks. The keyboardist for Casiopea also composed all of the station jingles for the subway in Japan, which all together make one song.

- woodandsteel 6y agoCasiopea is totally wonderful. I learned about them when I got onto the young drummer Kanade Sato. Here she is backing up Mukaiya at a very young age on a wonderful Casiopea song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C3Nml8IBf0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C3Nml8IBf0 And here she is at a much later age covering Megalith by T-Square https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-BvHJr5OjE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-BvHJr5OjE

- spike021 6y agoWhoa! This is awesome. Made me Google again (hadn't since my first trip to Japan) for any melodies I could find as a download to use as a ringtone/text tone (not that my phone is ever off vibrate mode). Thanks!
