Cassis (album)

Cassis is the 20th solo studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Yōsui Inoue, released in July 2002.

The album includes "Kimerareta Rhythm", which was featured on the Academy Award-nominated motion picture The Twilight Samurai, directed by Yoji Yamada. The song "You are the Top" was originally contributed to the same-titled musical by Kōki Mitani.
