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. Two singles were cut from the album: "Kono Yo no Sadame" and "Final Love Song"; both songs were featured on the TV advertisings of Kirin Beverage starring Inoue himself.
