YMO Happy!

I have been a fan of the great pop, film, symphonic, jazz, even opera (!) and other musical composer and electronic music/multimedia pioneer, Sakamoto Ryuichi (坂本 龍一) for more than 25 years. His work in every genre consistently surpasses itself.

My latest Sakamoto pleasure is a set of videos on YouTube of his recent tour with his original J-Pop band, Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) , featuring his original collaborators, Hosono Haruomi (細野 晴臣) and Takahashi Yukihiro (高橋幸宏). My favorite is this one, Human Audio Sponge (HAS):



Very cute!
