[La_Win]

I will forever thank mr. takanaka for getting me into 70’s-00’s japanese musical tastes

[Elchipo]

How in earth this masterpiece never had appear in a Gran Turismo game, it fits perfectly

[UnseenLive]

Came for the cars on the cover, stayed for the life altering substance.

[sprintcharger]

The album that led me to a music rabbithole.

[nnesineg]

80's japanese jazz fusion is such a niche genra, we're all so lucky to come across such a beautiful thing in our lifetime

[Lnk]

I swear Tears of the Star is not a track, it's an experience. It feels like I'm dreaming of calmly flying through the night sky until at one point i start falling. And right as I'm about to hit the ground i wake up.

[DoritoTime]

The "most replayed" section is the start of Midnight Rendezvous. As it should be.

[musicman]

this album is what got me started on fusion!

Found this from a random radio station in Niigata, Japan while browsing random stations on Radio Garden. It's called Non-Stop Casiopeia.
Also for anyone interested there is a cool station on Spitzbergen (arctic island north to Norway) called Arctic Outpost (hard to miss, it's the only one there), they just play old bops from the 1920s, kinda eerie.
And of course, th king of them all, Dr. Dick's Dub Shack on the Bermuda isles.

[lulubellepfboots]

The drums are just insane. One of the best drum performances I ever heard.

[dylak]

This is getting me through my depression.

[kuni]

Space Road is one of the greatest songs of all time, and perfectly encapsulates Japanese jazz fusion.

[konteros]

Man the bass here is insane. Like really insane

[dogukancs]

Japonların elinin değdiği her parçanın mix'i olabilecek en iyi kaliteye çıkıyor...

[DeyviFr]

Not enough people talk about Space Road. I would do anything to experience that track all over again.

[catcrasher]

I own two vinyl copies of this album and I think I want to be buried with it, it's THAT good

[MrTechTalkTutorials]

12:35 what a beautiful ending to a song

[trulyinfamous]

The drums on this album are on point 🔥🤌
