In 1977, keyboardist Minoru Mukaiya and drummer Takashi Sasaki joined the group. The group debuted with the album Casiopea in 1979, and 30 albums or more have since been released. In 1980, the drummer seat is replaced by 神保彰/Akira Jimbo.
The album Eyes of the Mind was released in the United States in 1981. They then released the album Mint Jams in 1982, followed by Four by Four in the same year, which is a collaborative album with some of Fourplay members including Lee Ritenour, Harvey Mason, Nathan East and Don Grusin. Their first foreign concert was held in the United Kingdom in 1983. The group has toured Europe, South America, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
In 1989, 神保彰/Akira Jimbo and Tetsuo Sakurai left the band following several years of musical differences. They named their own band, Jimsaku. For the replacement, the group chose Yoshihiro Naruse (bass) and Masaaki Hiyama (drums).
In 1993, the group once again change its members. Noriaki Kumagai came to replace Masaaki. Then from 1997 神保彰/Akira Jimbo returned to Casiopea, this time as a part-time member, recording more albums and again contributing some of the compositions.
In 2006, Issei Noro, the group's leader, decided to freeze all activities of the band until further notice.
On April 20, 2012, it was announced that Casiopea would return with Kiyomi Otaka on keyboards, replacing Minoru Mukaiya, who led his own music production team Mukaiya Club. This iteration is known as Casiopea 3rd.
During the 2010 decade Casiopea 3rd resumed album releases, and both Casiopea 3rd and Inspirits held a joint concert as a result of having a common bandleader in Issei Noro.
During the Covid-19 crisis, Issei Noro released a song thanking all those on the frontlines.

@Wuxibo
Akira Jimbo is a great drummer, but sweet Lord in Heaven Takashi Sasaki is an absolute beast
@maskcollector6949
And this is why Casiopea - Casiopea is their best album.
@miltonmilky5970
what makes him better?
@kingslayer4007
@Milton Holmqvist If you ask me, Takashi Sasaki’s flows remind me from that of Buddy Rich so he’s pretty much at that level. Don’t get me wrong, akira is an excellent drummer as well and has marked a long and outstanding reputation in the band but even with Takashi being in the band only for a short while, his drumming was on a much higher scale. He’s one of the pioneers that put Casiopea on the face of japan back then.

I still like Akira's style of playing better and its complexity, but Takashi Sasaki can play those insane fast rolls and really smooth sounding fills which i like too
@yunarukami14
His drumming reminds me way too much of Bruford's and Cobham's.
@Umzigg
That bass tone is awesome!
@blop-a-blop9419
El famoso Jaco tone !
@maskcollector6949
@BLOP - A - BLOP Facts, smoothed out J Bass sound, pretty sure this guy kept his frets, though.
