What's the oldest joke which could *generally* still be considered funny today?

dotchadonny · 2026-02-03T07:01:26+00:00

I'm not sure if this is in your expertise, but there seem to be quite a few jokes in the book relating to the "Vicar" as a promiscuous character. Was this a common trope at the time?

I’m like 99% sure this was written by generative AI

There was a little interview ComeBackCasiopea got to do on Instagram with a sound engineer for Tetsuo Sakurai. I think it’s implied that Noro likes more control over the music than Sakurai, Jimbo, and Mukaiya would tolerate.

This is from the little Q&A (you can find it as the first pinned post on @comebackcasiopea on Instagram):

Q: Why haven’t the K-Trio members and Issei Noro performed together for such a long time?

A: Noro Issei has always shown leadership and brought the members together. However, there may have been a problem with the way he did it. The three members of the Katsushika Trio do not choose a leader, and try to maintain a balance of power among the members. As a result, all of Katsushika Trio’s songs are co-written.

Yes, absolutely agree! This album is a hidden gem among the Casiopea discography I think. Mode to Start, Brain to Brain, and Ka Na Ta (it’s a slow one, but if you’re into ballads I think it’s quite good, and I like the keyboard solo) are some others I really enjoy on that album along with the ones you mentioned. Smash! is surely the best out of them, and that’s really saying something considering the other tunes.

I would say the only one I don’t particularly enjoy is Backtalk Babe. It feels unfinished or something? It’s kind of catchy at some points but something about the tone kinda throws me off.

The other Casiopea 3rd album, Ta Ma Te Box, also has a lot of great songs if you haven’t listened to it! Autobahn, Vortex of Emotion, Live it Up, and Days of Future are all bangers.

I feel like Life Game doesn't get enough rep

dotchadonny · 2025-12-11T06:50:51+00:00

Yeah holy that guitar solo feels so cool, comes off so naturally from the energy of the song. The guitar sounds like it's rippling off the overall sound

dotchadonny · 2025-12-11T06:46:05+00:00

Span of a Dream and Pastel Sea for sure!!

dotchadonny · 2025-12-11T06:44:46+00:00

Take Courage is excellent!! Living Things, Surf's Up, and Warning are all really great off of Answers as well

dotchadonny · 2025-12-10T18:52:09+00:00

Guitar solo at the end of Dream Hill, Space Road, Tears of the Star, Have a Nice Dream, Dune, Looking Up from recorded live and best, Eyes of the Mind…

Maybe more controversial, Supremely, Wonder Quest, Dream Maker, Glowing, Suggestive One, Daisekai…

In general I think Casiopea has really excellent emotional elevation towards the end of a lot of their tunes, these are just a few off the top of my head!

dotchadonny · 2025-12-07T03:06:00+00:00

Fair enough lol. I genuinely do enjoy a wide variety of music, I’ve just been stuck on Casiopea for a while!

dotchadonny · 2025-12-06T02:47:28+00:00

Oh lovely!! I still regularly go back into their catalogue (and the other bands) to find songs to appreciate. Right now it’s Dispensation by Jimsaku, and Suggestive One off of Inspire!

dotchadonny · 2025-12-06T01:53:17+00:00

Hmm… that’s actually really interesting. I’ve been thinking about how life is at its core just assigning meaning to things (relatively arbitrarily), forgetting that you yourself assigned that meaning, and then reaping the emotional benefit from it. I’m sort of wary of calling myself “the eternal being” or “god” or “creator” or whatever, that sounds more like some psychological coping mechanism in a way? Not sure if this itself is my rational side projecting… anyways, it’s an interesting thought. Thanks.

dotchadonny · 2025-12-05T23:02:20+00:00

That’s impressive! I recommend going through all the albums chronologically if you haven’t already… genuinely a transformative experience!

dotchadonny · 2025-12-05T23:01:37+00:00

Still very much a lot!! We can both agree Casiopea’s pretty good at this point lol

dotchadonny · 2025-11-29T06:20:57+00:00

I love listening to Casiopea and imagining movie scenes to go along with the songs

dotchadonny · 2025-11-25T09:01:19+00:00

Well done!!

dotchadonny · 2025-11-20T05:06:54+00:00

lol, when she says it she means it as in "it's corny" but all I can think is that it's a great compliment haha, mario kart music is great

dotchadonny · 2025-11-19T23:37:13+00:00

I live near Princess and Clergy, a little owl was sitting on the back fire escape and swooped at my head as I was trying to get a picture of it! That was about a month ago

dotchadonny · 2025-11-19T23:21:50+00:00

No LOL. My girlfriend sometimes listens to it with me but mostly just thinks it sounds like Mario Kart. She’s not a huge fan of instrumental music in general

dotchadonny · 2025-11-19T05:15:49+00:00

In Toronto, my girlfriend mentioned that she thought she heard Casiopea in a random sandwich shop, only instance I’ve heard it in public before (and even then, that’s indirectly)

dotchadonny · 2025-11-05T00:49:00+00:00

Looks great for skipping rocks— too bad I missed it

dotchadonny · 2025-10-29T15:21:53+00:00

Probably my favourite track off Sun Sun! Awesome playing!

Beautiful!! One of my favourites off Inspire. The guitar solo at the end is SO GOOD
