# Jive Jive

Jive Jive is the tenth album and the eighth studio album by Casiopea, recorded and released in 1983.

## Description

After the release of Mint Jams, an album created to break into the European market, keyboardist Minoru Mukaiya traveled to Europe to show off the album. The band traveled to record in London, all members brought their instruments except for Sakurai, who left his "Milk-Bass" in Japan, and instead used a similar looking BB2000.

## London Concert

On September 29th, during the recording session, Casiopea played a concert in London's Dominion Theatre. There was a LaserDisc released in the 1993, and a radio recording aired close to the concert date.
"Mid-Manhattan" was heavily extended, including drum and overdrive bass solos, reaching over 14 minutes in length.
