Photographs is the ninth album and the seventh studio album by Casiopea, recorded and released in 1983.
Description[edit]
Prior to recording, each member went on a trip to various parts of the world to gain inspiration (Noro = India, Mukaiya = Europe, etc.) These trips gave the album a new style, while also keeping with the established sound from "CROSS POINT". This is Casiopea's first use of sampling techniques using a sampling keyboard emulator.
"Looking Up" and "Misty Lady" were very popular among fans, and became staple tracks in live shows.
