I've probably said it before, but it's so wonderfully poetic that thethree ymo members all have a birthday that's in the just three months of the year that start with J. At least it is To Me

Found on Japanese Avant Garde Books on Instagram HERE
Very rare YMO Cassette Book, which was distributed as a limited-edition promotional item by Fujifilm in 1980 and never sold commercially. Although no designer is credited, considering the design aesthetics and the era, it is likely the work of Heikichi Harata. The center of the book is hollowed out to house the cassette, which contains YMO tracks as well as monologues and roundtable talks by the members.
Thank God I just found out about this now or I would have spent $200 dollars I do not have

In this article Haruomi Hosono talks about his upbringing, how he began to play music, and the music that he has been inspired by throughout the years. Great read
