This video is from the first TV broadcast of a YMO performance in Japan. Each member had previously been an acclaimed musician or was well known in another band, but had never appeared on television as YMO. The year before this video aired (1979), YMO had successfully completed its first world tour (mainly in Europe and the United States), and 1980 was the year when the band's popularity in Japan exploded. I still remember how excited I was to watch this live broadcast at the time.
I am of the real generation. YMO was formed in 1969 with Haruomi Hosono's group "Happiendo" and has been the backing band for many works under the name Caramel Mama since 1973. The song "Yellow Magic Carnival" is one of their songs. From there the name Yellow Magic Orchestra was formed. The musical sense of "Happiendo" was so far ahead of its time that it was not accepted by the general public, but only by a small core group of people. One of its members was a musician named Eiichi Otaki. He released "A LONG VACATION" in his other musical career, and his breakthrough song in Japan in 1981 was "Kimi wa Tear-Yellow. This song is refreshing. The song is a true story about how Eiichi Otaki felt when he had to take care of and carry his sick sister. That sister passed away at an early age. Eiichi Otaki also passed away in 2013. This is a very good album. Haruomi Hosono formed Yellow Magic Orchestra in 1978 and was a member of drummer Yukihiro Takahashi's group, Sadistic Mika Band. Yukihiro Takahashi was in charge of costumes for YMO. Ryuichi Sakamoto was considered a genius at the time at the Tokyo University of the Arts, Department of Music, Biano Department. He joined the band because he was a friend of Yukihiro Takahashi's. The album was released in London in December 1979 and became a hit when it was re-imported, changing the Japanese music scene.

Sorry! YMO is a big staple of fusion music and techno music, and it doesn't need to be introduced. I thought it was extra care. It can be said that it is this YMO that established the genre of electronic music. By the way, the sound effects of the game are after them.
Thank you for YMO's reaction❣️ YMO's live video uploaded on December 10th last year is a gorgeous guest, so watch it！🍀☺️ YMO with Keigo Oyamada・Ren Takada・Tomohiko Gondou and Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra・Crystal Kay th-cam.com/video/GW1-Fdlb24s/w-d-xo.html
Tak, fordi du ikke kun sætter pris på de japanske favoritter Babymetal og Ringo Sheenal, men også på YMO. Jeg vil vædde med at hvis I kommer til Japan og taler om denne kanal, vil I få gratis mad og senge hele tiden ;-) Vi havde ikke forventet, at du ville svare på YMO en anden gang. Hvis I stadig er interesseret i dem, vil jeg gerne præsentere YMO for jer trin for trin. Fordi de tre ikke kun var i centrum for musikken, men også for japansk tankegang, mode, kunst og teknologi i 80'erne, og det har de fortsat til i dag. Jeg gik i folkeskolen på det tidspunkt, og jeg opdagede YMO som baggrundsmusik til en idrætsdag. Det, du ser nu, er popsangene fra YMO's tidligere år, men de eksperimenterede med mange forskellige ting i løbet af deres karriere. Der er mange sange, som man ikke ville tro er af de samme personer, lige fra seriøse sange, der har vundet Grammy-priser, til dement, uhøflig komediemusik. Her er nogle af popsangene fra perioden før YMO. Denne sang blev brugt som tema for et komedieshow. Jeg ville blive meget glad, hvis du kunne svare YMO, bare langsomt. th-cam.com/video/YastQM59JQE/w-d-xo.html (Dette er en google-oversættelse, undskyld hvis det er forkert).
First of all thank you watching our reaction. We reacted many japanese music as we love many japanese songs. We are hoping to visit Tokyo Japan this summer if there will be no more travel restrictions. Japan is one of our dream destination. Greetings from Dk
41 years ago, I watched this TV show in real time. YMO is so cool!
今聞いても鳥肌がヤバい！

YMOはゲーム音楽の発展に大きく貢献したパイオニアです。冨田勲（とみた いさお）と並んでシンセサイザー音楽のレジェンドですね。

YMO is also great! Tatsuro was also great friends with the three members : )
YMO is also great 😃, YMO = Yellow Magic Orchestra.
YMOは世界を変えた。
このバンドが活躍していた時代は、サザンオールスターズやピンクレディーと、同じ時代ですよ。
ヒットチャートに入り、アルバムも大ヒットしていたし。
今から40年前にこんな音楽が流行していたことが素晴らしい。世界に誇れるバンドです。

Actually, the guy in the center just listening to something was their manager and did nothing on the stage 🤣 acted like an ornament of the stage..
The guy is operating the system that controls the Synthesisers. He is not sat doing nothing.

あと日本で流行ったグループがあります。→ゴダイゴ→と言って主にドラマや映画の作曲しています。その中で、多くの人が感銘を受けた作品があります。銀河鉄道999というアニメで、日本の銀河鉄道の夜という小説をもとにしているとも言われています。欧州で人気がある松本零士というSFの作家の作品です。一度みてコメントください！動画→THE GALAXY EXPRESS 999［Japanese-English Version］/ GODIEGO→まだ、松本零士さんのアニメーションありますが、宇宙観のシリーズすべて物語でつながっているので、銀河鉄道９９９から見るのおすすめします
Why don't you take mental notes while watching the video and discuss at the end? Pausing every 2 seconds is kind of annoying... Just sayin.
