[HIROCCHAN]

確かにギターは、今は亡き、大村憲司さんです。懐かしいですね。­教授、すごく背が高く見えますね。

[TheAmusingHeckler]

These guys are true composers of the 20th and beyond ^_^

@gfch9sc54

アッコちゃんはあれでOK

[HBriver]

ギターは大村憲司さんですか。

[AldofromBordeaux]

Oberheim 8 voices - Sequential circuits Prophet 5

Polymoog - A big Moog 55 Unit - Maybe an Arp Odyssey and some other stuff

Big Old Analogic Sound....A million Light Years better than our Samplerized stuff of today...

30 Years ahead of their times = YMO

And right behind Ryuichi is a can of Coke:)

Back in an era when musicians we're talented and real synths were used (and played live). Gosh, look what we have now - Korg Triton preset 297, and a midi backing track using some crap GM saxaphone.

Sorry to nag...but im abit old school. I also think music production sounded better on the old analog desks/eq/effects.

[Artstar]

I totally agree...Hardware synths and Analog consoles & tape machines for the win!

[xnonsuchx]

@DIGITALSCREAMS - What's really odd is that it's all pricey US handmade synths back then and now everyone uses mostly 'cheap' factory-made Japanese synths (Korg, Roland, Yamaha)..

[brismike65]

@DIGITALSCREAMS and that is why the Chemical Brothers returned to analog synths on Further, so agree

[YvesIsaki]

this is music! these are the obscure gems I look for. Anyone know what synthesizer they use? I want to make good music like them. Could I achieve this sound with a microkorg xl?

[Artstar]

I've only played with a MicroKorg, so assuming the XL is a "Better" version of the Micro...I'm sure you can program sounds similar to those in this video, but certainly not exact or really close replicas.

[mekonin]

What is this synthesizer Akiko Yano is playing?

[Artstar]

She was playing a Sequential Circuits Prophet 5, and to her side an Oberheim 8-Voice.

[fututronic]

i think it is a Oberheim SEM 8 voices.

[ajittffcure]

Truly an electronic orchestra!

[ArekkusuOS]

God, those chords... are so sizzling... I can almost taste them.

[blahblahbile]

woohooooo!

[Discfiend69]

Beautiful... : )

[Discfiend69]

By the way,where can I purchase one of those YMO shirts they're wearing : )

[joyouslife4all]

I think they were giving away this shirts for YMO 25th anniversary CD? I remember they were selling with CD when I went to Tokyo 5 years ago.

or try Yukihiro Takahashi's store in Tokyo called "the bricks" because he is the designer of the shirts!

[darveldon]

Just love Y M O this tune and the way a young Akiko Yano dances about

[shinjukugewalt]

it's a ryuichi sakamoto song not ymo. it's form the album '1000 knives of ryuichi sakamoto'

[roygbiv330]

bass was so nice.

[ryanzi11]

これいいね！

[ryanzi11]

これいいね！

[kanayui]

この曲をこのリズムでライブて゜やろうとしたのはやっぱり教授な­んだろうねえ。凄いよねえ。

[smstardust]

Enorme potentiel mélodique et un rêve à jouer au clavier. Sakamoto est véritablement un génie.

[michinco]

everytime when YMO did live, they arranged the way they play keyboards, drums, and bass sounds.

every single songs sounds different from each gig!

they are sooo creative band!

[kokko8]

Awesome!!!!!!

So touching.

[ericastar1]

this music has such depths for me...love it!
