just introduced to this group via the honeyee blog. “Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) is a Japanese electropop band, formed in 1978. They were ranked No.2 in a list of Japan’s top 100 musicians by HMV.
The band is renowned as having pioneered the Synthpop and Electropop music genres, along with Germany’s Kraftwerk. The principal members are Haruomi “Harry” Hosono (bass, keyboards), Yukihiro Takahashi (drums and percussion, lead vocals) and Ryuichi Sakamoto (keyboards).”
