The tweaked piano in this song...well, not many artists can make a song this special with a drum beat and a few chords, let me tell you.

[kenichisaitohchenii]

yt thought how interesting YMO would be if they wears them.he tells so in the interview in 1980 already.

[kenichisaitohchenii]

wears at their physical education classes.I used to wear those kinds of uniform and really hated it.

[kenichisaitohchenii]

yt said that maybe they start to get bored with the propaganda styled costume or onsen remarked logo on their shirts for their tours so he designed just as what typical Japanese juniour/seniour highschool students

[hotdogmonster67]

haha this video looks like they rehearsed the choreography for literally 5 minutes,but i LOVE this song anyway.

[kayers2]

what is this the Japanese Talking Heads?

[Muddyrich]

they were contemporaries with the talking heads, and the british band Japan. Very unique in their own right. Sakamoto is also an amazing film composer and actor, Hosono has done video game music. This track is from the Technodelic album

[InvaderAlex22]

what games did hosono do music for?

I know that Sakamoto did the music for LOL (Lack of Love)

[xnonsuchx]

In fact, Ryuichi Sakamoto won an Academy Award w/ David Byrne for THE LAST EMPEROR soundtrack.

[Muddyrich]

my favorite soundtrack of his is probably Merry christmas Mr Lawrence. Amazing performer as well. Saw him at Berkeley's Zellerbach Theater on his Neo geo tour and actually got go meet him backstage...

[xnonsuchx]

He was also an actor in that movie.

[Muddyrich]

that he was... my favorite scene in all aspects was the cherry blossom scene

[hojenny1101]

@Muddyrich OMG!!! Hope he will come to Berkeley and perform again!! He is one of the best musician in the world. You are so lucky!!

[TomventUK]

these guys are genious. Ridiculously great talent

[megagoosey]

YMO. Yes.

[KcSR78]

I must admit, that I'm not japanese, so i'm a bit lost in some of their lyrics.. Could anyone translate them? That would be nice...

[Iomarca]

Class!
