R.I.P. Ryuichi Sakamoto. This song helped to influence modern hip hop trends, and his career transcended even further with his solo, and soundtrack albums, as well as the work he did with YMO. I’m so disappointed because I told myself I was going to buy tickets to his virtual show in December of 2022, but said “I’ll just see the next one he does.” I missed out on seeing a true legend. May his soul Rest In Peace.
Yeah, you have to see these great artist when you can bc many are older and either will die or stop performing especially if you loved their music, you gotta see them once in a lifetime and also pay your respect and appreciation to them. I think he worked with David Silvian (sp) on that other great song called “Forbidden Colors”. Check it if you don’t know about it and came out in the 80’s.
Just found this banger in my dad's record collection, he was a DJ back in late 70s early 80s. I found this yellow 12 inch record just chilling at back of the shelf.
If you like this song, you should also listen to Tong Poo (1978), La Femme Chinoise (1978), Technopolis (1979), Rydeen (1979), Behind The Mask (1979), etc. You will love them.
It certainly was 1977-1982 the greatest period in UK music imo. So much talent, invention, diverse sounds and even Foreign language lyrics, mainly French in songs made in the UK. I was too young to appreciate the other great period 1965-1970. The period 1987- 1992 was also excellent.
Genius ahead of its time. I listened to all of this for the first time when it came out and I was 15. Later I went to live in Japan and discovered so many more great Japanese musicians. I learned that the whole world had talent and we were missing a lot of it in North America.

Ahem.... they offered it as a techno-homage to its creator, MARTIN DENNY, and it is SOOOOO "LAYERED", you need today's tech to really enjoy all the magic these guys "squeezed" into this. They are literally dancing through this weaving of percussion and synth punctuation. This is top-drawer stuff (and it helps to know a bit about musical composition). A tip of the hat to FRANZ LIZST at 3:35 (artistic inside joke). These guys were WAY AHEAD of their time, and this labor of love still rocks even today.

This song has been a hidden treasure in my heart for many years. It was attached to a very sad emotion for me. When I was a young boy my father played it for the first time the day I first met my older half brother in 1982. When he was leaving after a brief introduction the song was playing. I cried so hard. My dad never played it again as it caused me to immediately cry again. A beautiful/painful melody. I'm am so glad to have found it again.
It's such an exquisite piece of music! A hidden treasure in the heart describes it perfectly. It's a very powerful piece of music to be attached to such a profound time in your life - for a sensitive child that would have been extremely difficult. I hope that when you listen to this now the emotion shifts to something softer. It's always been a very special piece of music for me too ❤💙💛💜
I have the 12" single, bought in the early 80s after my mate and I by chance walked past our local theatre one evening and were given free tickets to see them play live that nite!
RIP Ryuichi Sakamato. Another colossal talent sadly departed. My OH said earlier imagine Ryuichi, David Bowie and Mick Karn getting together on the other side what brilliance they would come up with...
Back in 1988, during the birth of House music, The Trip in London's Astoria was a pioneering venue. Every Saturday night, droves of converse-clad, bandana-wearing kids would travel from all over the capital to visit the mecca of Acid house, witness the birth of a new era in music, and as high AF, dance for hours, as Nicky Hollaway spun magic memory making sounds on a 20ft high podium. This is common now, but back then it was so rebellious, it turned all the London tribes in to one heaving mass of love. We were home! There was one tune that would drive people wild. It had a fresh, easy beat with a pumping bassline and was showered with Asian-influenced chords and sounds as well as spots of dramatic tension as if it was telling you a really important story. It stood out and would often get a full play. Little did we know, it was made 10 years earlier and not in Chicago, but by the Japanese electronic music maestro Ryuichi Sakamoto and his band, Yellow Magic Orchestra. I later found out they were producing most electronic genres that we hear today before they even had a name. Their influence on me was profound but on the world of electronic music it was outstanding. I drove to many raves with this tune blasting in my car stereo, from a cassette my rave date gave me. Scrawled on it was just two words “Chinese Chimes”. That’s what we thought it was called. RIP!
A few days ago I heard about another founding member of Yello Magic Orchestra passing away. I remember hearing this song on the radio as a kid and it still sounds fresh. R.I.P. Ryuichi Sakamoto and his bandmate Yukihiro Takahashi who preceded him in death a couple months earlier.
For those who are from Detroit, this was first played on the radio by none other than The Electrifying Mojo, whose favorite saying was, "If you find yourself at the end of your rope, tie a knot and keep hanging; 'cause there's nobody bad like you!!" I loved that saying!! Those were the days!!! Peace!!!
This was my senior yr high school jam back in 78 -1979 and still is💯 When they performed this song on Soul Train, they became honorary R&B stars! This song sounds fricking awesome on big bass club sound systems. That funky bass beat makes you move and groove❣️
I remember one male dancer was staring at the female member because he saw her as just ringing a triangle! (I can't remember her name but she's famous!)
Da Wolf I know exactly what you're talking about!!! Those were the days when you can have clean fun and not worry about getting hurt or shot over unnecessary bs!!!
They used to play this song on the old skool hip hop station back in the early 80s a lot. The Bboys used to pop and lock and break dance to this. When this came on, it was battle time.
I can remember being a kid in the 80’s and practicing popping and locking and breaking to this, this was one of my favorite ones to practice to, hearing it today brought back some great childhood memories
Met YMO in 2008 in London and saw Harry Hosono in 2018 too. Love them so much. Now 54 but loved them since late 70s. Have autographs and photos too :()
I was 15 yrs old when I first heard this in the fall of 1979...even though it came out in 1978. They played this song religiously on the radio during that time during fall going into winter of 1979. I been searching for this song for so many years!! 😊❤
I remember hearing this at MARS, a club that was on the Westside Highway in NYC, before that I use to pop and break to the song...great stuff for late 70's music.
Just looked at a documentary on Netflix that talked specifically about this genre of music in the disco world. The documentary is called The evolution of Hip Hop
I used to try to figure out the laser lights. Mars was tough, what was it four floors and a rooftop? Never made it to the rooftop. I didn't want to become a statistic.
My Aunt Curreen died last year, she kept all her old records. as her godson ive now got them and they have helped bring back happy memories since my stroke. this was amongst them. this music was way ahead of its time
Inhave been looking for this instrumental for 41 years and I found it scrolling IG and saw Boogaloo Shrimp pop locking to it back in 1983 from Japan. Great memories. I 1st heard it from DJ Kid Capri on WBLS 107.5 in New York
1978?! My ears can't believe it - The Asian community was definitely way ahead of their time during this era of music! My father showed me this gem a few years back and haven't forgotten it since!
And one of the members was from another band that were the asian version of the Beatles, kinda the greatest band of all time in Japan, they had kinda the greatest album of all time in Japan
A Japanese supergroup, every member a star in his own right, with an early influence on house and electro/hip hop, similar to Kraftwerk.. classic tune to robot to!
I have been searching for this song for years!!! Ran across a video featuring "Boogalo Shrimp" from the movie Breaking called Urban Dance Legends and there was a clip with him dancing on a show in Japan that was playing this song and immediately Shazamed it.
i first heared this at energy one in westway film studios back in 88 or 89 and it was dropped into an acid house mix up and all the lighting came up and it took everyone by a very pleasant suprise it still gives me goosbumps 34years later
Heard this early 80s on either Chicago's 104.7 fm wbmx or wcyc fm...had it in my head for years...never knew who it was by until recently last year...man i feel complete now. Thx youtube!!!
I love this choon to the max, got my 12" Yellow Vinyl copy - I was blown away by this choon and YMO back in day so ahead of their time, such a classic - memories xo
This song has been in the background of my mind for over 30yrs. Search many times to find it over the years. BMF helped me find it. Overjoyed with hearing it after so long.
A big club smash from 1978, originally released under the name of Computer game, The Yellow Magic orchestra were only a handful of artists & groups flooding the Soul/jazz scene here in the UK with great fusion tracks
Wow! This is one song that I must save to a playlist! This song and others by Kraftwerk caused me to have a great interest in early electronic music. This song in particular displays so much craftsmanship in structure, melody, chord progression and rhythmic expression. Words can't express how much I'm in awe of this tune. I was 40 years younger than today when it first came out. I still rocks!!!
Ì remember having this 12" disco 45 in my sound system collection, one of the 1st records we bought; it takes me right back to my 'care-free' mid-teens. Just love it!
I first heard this at the Roxy roller rink in New York City! When this song came on we all set out to skate our behinds off! Love this tune! Thanks for sharing!
Still sounds good. 2024

Just found this banger in my dad's record collection, he was a DJ back in late 70s early 80s. I found this yellow 12 inch record just chilling at back of the shelf.
If your dad was djing back in the 70s then he has some classics, you should dig deep, what a legacy!
You lucked out on a gem.
Took many years but I finally found it. A true classic.❤

And Cosmic Surfin' (1979)
Thx!!
I’ll check them out 🖐🏾🖐🏾🖐🏾🖐🏾
45 years on and I'm still playing this. School in the late 1970's was rife with superb music, no way you could miss this.
I got into these guys in the early 80s. Great stuff ❤️❤️
Yes indeed 😂❤❤
It certainly was 1977-1982 the greatest period in UK music imo. So much talent, invention, diverse sounds and even Foreign language lyrics, mainly French in songs made in the UK. I was too young to appreciate the other great period 1965-1970. The period 1987- 1992 was also excellent.
Genius ahead of its time. I listened to all of this for the first time when it came out and I was 15. Later I went to live in Japan and discovered so many more great Japanese musicians. I learned that the whole world had talent and we were missing a lot of it in North America.
Interesting that you imply the default position of a regular US person is to believe there's no culture beyond the US
@@mgg7756 Interesting how you assume all caucasians are American. I am not American. Don’t you have something better to do than make racial assumptions?!
Never knew that it was a Japanese group that made this song, I always loved this song 🎵 ❤️
they played this song on the radio station where I grew up at, it was jamming at the house parties too
Ahem.... they offered it as a techno-homage to its creator, MARTIN DENNY, and it is SOOOOO "LAYERED", you need today's tech to really enjoy all the magic these guys "squeezed" into this. They are literally dancing through this weaving of percussion and synth punctuation. This is top-drawer stuff (and it helps to know a bit about musical composition).
A tip of the hat to FRANZ LIZST at 3:35 (artistic inside joke). These guys were WAY AHEAD of their time, and this labor of love still rocks even today.
Tell the kids to put COWBOY BEEBOP on hold and meditate on this!

My mom found this song and told me it use to be played at her 6th grade dances in Philly! Such a dope song!
Mom is correct. Lol. Very true. John Wanamaker Jr High School 6th grade dances. Used to play Firecracker & Numbers, amongst others. Great memories.
Exactly!!! I was in 5th grade in Philly when I first heard this song and never knew who it was. I was looking for this song FOREVER！

Can't believe how this is still a 'tune' after so many years.....just goes to show, good music does not age. What a classic!

It do go hard. 1978!
1978!!!!!!!......sounds better than most songs on radio today....

Finally I found this music clip. Been looking for it for many years !!!!
RIGHT!!! I NEVER NEW WHO PUT IT OUT. WELL, WHEN YOU ARE 8 YEARS OLD THAT IS HOW IT WAS.
Echoes of those beautiful sunlit days in 1978 still burning in my soul listening to this classic
reminds me of my happy childhood.. :D
Remember listening to this on wbls back in the day, haven't heard it in years
Was a true Breakdance classic in the 80s! B-boy official
LCD Soundsystem playing this at the end of 'Home' is a beautiful tribute.
I first heard this at the Roxy roller rink in New York City! When this song came on we all set out to skate our behinds off! Love this tune! Thanks for sharing!
Such a big part of my childhood samantha's Disco on a Saturday morning at silver blades 70s thank you 😊
