CASIOTONE COMPILATION 10- 3" CD aotoao-21
This compilation project, which began 15 years ago, has finally reached its tenth album!
The compilation started with Tokyo musicians duo of Shibata & Asuna, who each used their own Casiotone to create a one-minute song. They used to tour together a lot and both of them always used Casiotones. While on tour, they often met musicians who used the Casiotone in the same weird way as they did, and this compilation started as spontaneously. Yes, at first it was all just our friends. As it continued to tour, its Casiotone circle of friends spread around the world. Yes, even now, the compilation is actually made up of musicians ASUNA has met directly on tour. And it is made up of musicians who resonated with the concept of this compilation. (Of the nearly 200 participants in the series, only "Kot Kot" has yet to meet in person.) And of course I just love and fan their music, and the significance of this compilation is that it highlights their musicality even more so when the equipment is limited to the Casiotone product. I'm grateful that these relationships between musicians have lasted for ten albums. It is thanks to the dedicated listeners who have continued to listen to this series. （And in the format of a 3inch CD!)
