Asian Dreamer is the twenty-seventh studio album released by the jazz fusion group Casiopea in 1994. This album features re-arranged and re-recorded versions of their original songs with their second lineup (Yoshihiro Naruse on bass, Noriaki Kumagai on drums) of the band after their original, first lineup. This is the first album after their switch to Pony Canyon records, after previously being signed to Alfa and Polydor records.
The titular track "Asian Dreamer" was included in a bonus record for "CASIOPEA PERFECT LIVE" seven years prior.
