  Yellow Magic Orchestra - Biography - AOL Music
YMO was formed in Tokyo in 1978 by keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto, who at the time was working on his debut solo LP; among his collaborators was drummer Yukihiro Takahashi, himself also a solo performer as well as a member of the art rock group the Sadistic Mika Band.
Agreeing to join forces as Yellow Magic Orchestra, the trio soon debuted with a self-titled LP influenced largely by the robotic iconography of Germany's Kraftwerk; 1979's Solid State Survivor heralded a quantum leap in their sound, with stronger songs and a more focused use of electronic tools, complete with English lyrics by Chris Mosdell.
By the 1990s, YMO was cited regularly as a pioneer of ambient house music, resulting in the release of the remix album Hi-Tech/No Crime.

YMO might be one of the most influential Japanese pop bands of the eighties
This hints to the fact that YMO might be seen as a common platform rather than a real group.
The YMO version drops the vocoder introduction and Kazumi Watanabe's guitar part, and what is worse, drowns the actual melody under tons of keyboard and percussion effects.

 Guardian | Yellow Magic Orchestra, Yellow Magic Orchestra
Although name-dropped less often than they deserve, Yellow Magic Orchestra boldly surfed the cutting edge of electronic pop at the beginning of the 1980s, and in their way were almost as influential as the much-revered Kraftwerk.
What's fascinating about these reissues of their four studio albums is how you can hear them developing idiosyncratic sounds and musical approaches on the opposite side of the globe from their European contemporaries, and reaching their own fresh conclusions.
The debut disc, Yellow Magic Orchestra, was infused with a skittish wit that never quite left them even as their music grew more subtle and intricate (the Japanese press coined the term "Technopop" to describe it).

They were quite innoveative at the time and should not be forgotten for what they were: one of the most innovative early synth groups that were working in the tradition of Kraftwerk.
YMO is one of the pioneers of the synthpop as well as Kraftwerk and Devo.
Later, YMO regretted because it would be included in "Thriller" the mega hit album.

YMO was formed by producer Haruomi Hosono with session musicians Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi in 1978.
While YMO gained a lot of attention and fans it's a mistake to consider them the dominant style of the day or a monster sucess.
YMO took the first two albums on a world-tour in late 1979 and live albums like 'Public Pressure' and 'Faker Holic' contain quite agreeable live-versions of all tracks on these albums.

They had this huge hit back in 1980 called "Computer Game" that sounded like the Space Invaders game.
