Down Upbeat
Down Upbeat is the twelfth album and the ninth studio album by Casiopea, recorded and released in 1984. This is Casiopea's second full album where Issei Noro is credited as a producer. The following year, "Zoom" was released as the lead single for this album, and is the only one of Casiopea's songs to have a professionally produced, full length music video, recorded in Manhattan.
After the album was released, Casiopea went on their "1984 Around The World Tour." Notably, even though the tour was named after being international, the group only played a select few dates outside of Japan.
