Never been to Belgium

What is similar to T-SQUARE and Casiopea? That is a distinctly Japanese jazz-fusion sound that I can't really find replicated elsewhere.

Like you mentioned there is that whole Japanese Jazz-Fusion scene which really honed their own little niche. You know me, I'm a bit more knowledgeable on the more funky side of things, so things might swing that way so apologies, but some of them you might dig. You've probably checked most of these artists as they're pretty regularly name checked in Japanese Jazz, but just in case try:

Masayoshi Tanaka. His albums Insatiable High and The Rianbow Goblins are some of my favourite, the latter especially is just kinda a bizarre fairy tale jazz-fusion thing.

Air Pocket. A band I know very little of but I picked up their CD reissue of their only album a few years ago and it's awesome
