Cascade (stylized as CASCADE) is a Japanese visual kei rock band, with a sound not typical of other visual kei bands, in that it is strongly influenced by new wave music.[1][2] The band formed in 1993 and disbanded in August 2002,[1] but six years later the band reunited and released a new album in 2009, Vivo.

Cascade's song "S.O.S. Romantic" was covered by Mix Speakers, Inc on the compilation Crush! -90's V-Rock Best Hit Cover Songs-, which was released on January 26, 2011 and features current visual kei bands covering songs from bands that were important to the '90s visual kei movement.[3] Their song "Flowers of Romance" will be covered by Adapter. on its sequel, Crush! 2 -90's V-Rock Best Hit Cover Songs-, that will be released on November 23, 2011.[needs update][4]
