i am so happy im not the only one whos fascinated by test pattern :) also i freaked out when i realised that was MIMI KOBYASHI interviewing them, ive been listening to both her and hosono for years, so it crazy to me that they actually met :00
I'm so glad. This is exactly why I had my friend translate it; it's the only time Testpattern ever spoke out publicly to my knowledge and here it is. I love Testpattern so much, I found them when I learned about YMO and tried to find anyone who was even remotely like them, and to this day they're the closest. Unfortunately it doesn't tell you much, but at least I can make the conjectures I did in the video description.
Wow, I completely missed your comment because I was out traveling when you sent it. Yeah, I've found her on Facebook and on Instagram, but I have neither of those! I'd consider getting an insta just to try and find out more...nobody else would know except maybe Harry Hosono.
@@RabbitEarsCh I contacted her on Instagram I think, but this was a while ago. No response of course, but it didn't seem like she was active anyways. Maybe I'll try again
@@saturnjr9136 Try and send her this video and say a music archivist blogger is looking for her. I'd happily handle the rest if I can reach out at all.
Si soy. He tenido muchos problemas con el software y no puedo actualizar el blog (aunque continúa activa la página web). Cuando tenga tiempo para resolver los problemas, saldrán mas posts y videos. Este lo quise subir porque no puedo escribir mucho en el blog que no dice el video mismo.

Holy shit, thank you so much for translating this. I love this band but theres no information on them anywhere, this is a holy grail

Whoa what is this AMAZING footage?!! TESTPATTERN fucking rocks.
whats the song in the beginning of the video though??
Also, you can find Evelyne online pretty easily, someone should definitely reach out and see if she'd be interested in an interview

I read that Masao Hiruma passed away several years ago...
@@ymotechnopopfan That's very sad. I hope he found a happy life in arts after Testpattern, he seemed to have boundless creativity ready for the world.
@@RabbitEarsCh I read about it on a Japanese blog website called Note.
Pensé que este canal había muerto. ¿Eres venezolano(a)?

Good old electropop!
