My Favorite Japanese Band

Skip to 1:03 for video topic.
A discussion on Yellow Magic Orchestra, its members-Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi, and Ryuichi Sakamoto-their history, music, connections to film, collaborations across J-pop, and lasting influence on contemporary musicians.
I'm very surprised at how much I could recall about YMO and J-pop in mainly one take.
I forgot to discuss their influence on early American hip-hop, as I'm uninformed on that topic.
