It was hard to imagine that Masato Honda and Hirotaka Izumi could be replaced successfully, but Takahiro Miyazaki, Tadashi Namba and Keiji Matsumoto were all fantastic. I will always wonder why it was decided not to make more albums with this line-up. Mr Andoh must have had a good reason to part ways with these great musicians.
I remember that on that time, Namba actually live and work in America so he can't stay with T-Square in a long term. And the main problem of T-Square on that time is - Their album was very bland to me (But strangely it was x100 much better when performing live) I still hate studio version of Seven Wonders to this day (But when playing live it was a beast, Still wondered why Andoh and Namba dueling didn't happened in album version) But having Namba, Miyazaki, and Matsumoto was the best decision ever. I always love Namba character and playing style. Very lively, funny and energetic 🙂
I really wish there was a parallel world, which Miyazaki-san and Matsumoto-san could stay in the band until 2002.And in 2003 Itoh-san and Izumi-san came back as The Square reunion. Of course the best choice is Izumi-san is still alive, I still can not accept this result.
この曲、最高❗️
This 98 session is the best, especially the saxophone
존나좋다

この曲はこの演奏が一番イイな
thank u sir :D
宮崎氏も、伊東氏、本田氏に負けない天才ですね。惜しむらくは、T-SQUAREとしての活動期間が短かったこと。
安藤氏を責めるわけじゃないけど、どうしてバンドを解散、ユニットで活動なんてことをやったんですかね。
T-SQUAREの歴史の中で、一番の疑問です。
