Here in the comments we find some interesting info by the user seaboatsk:
Ms. Keiko Matsui, one of the three memembers of the band, is now teaching at a
college in Japan. She has been in USA for some years and has been awarded for
her excellence by a US smooth jazz committee in 2000 and 2001. In Japan in
80s, so many TV and radio programs put songs of smooth jazz bands, such as,
Cosmos, Casiopea (Japanese), Fruitcake (Dutch), Mezzoforte (Icelandic), and
Shakatak (UK), on air.
Still alive.
Today: Removing YouTube embedding. I saw something cool in the AAMSX web,
so I decided to copy that. The idea was to use
Lite YouTube,
however… I got many errors regarding the CSP (Content Security Policy), as it
is set to null
and it was, again, including JavaScript. So fuck it.
So instead I did this Hugo shortcode:
{{- $videoId := trim (.Get 0) " " -}}
<youtube-thumb videoid="{{ $videoId }}">
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={{ $videoId }}" target="_blank"><img
src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/{{ $videoId }}/hqdefault.jpg" alt="YouTube
Link" style="border: #FFFFFF 4px double;"></a>
<p><center><small>Click to watch in YouTube (New tab)</small></center></p>
</youtube-thumb>
And if you put this in layouts/shortcodes/youtube-thumb.html
, you’ll be able
to use it as {{< youtube-thumb VIDEO_ID >}} and you’ll get the video thumbnail
in JPG and be able to click on it to watch it. The target="_blank"
makes it to
open a new tab. I kind of like it. It’s less functional compared to lite youtube
, but it works and it does not add JavaScript on our side.
Broken piano jazz for you

Found Phantasia by chance. I wanted to buy the CD. Hard to find a 1981, right?
It looked pretty obscure.

Then I read the description:
This project is a heartfelt tribute to the golden age of Japanese jazz fusion.
Through storytelling, music and AI, we aim to reimagine a lost era and evoke
the timeless beauty of this genre.
Next song is older than the previous:
