The Super Flight Tour is, for unknown reasons, oftentimes discounted as a real Casiopea tour. Information on the tour is very lacking, as Casiopea was not as popular as their later years, their fan club CSF had not started yet, and magazine coverage seems to be quite lacking, despite the tour being sponsored by Yamaha. This was the only tour to feature Takashi Sasaki. There are also no known recordings of this tour, and no fans have ever said that they recorded the tour. Minoru Mukaiya was already doing the MC, which was mainly known to have been done by Issei Noro up to this point.

	~~Harvey Mason played a synth during Lakai, and possibly percussion during Magic Ray.~~
