“Hip hop? Hip how?” you ask? Well, come with me and I’ll show you while I take you on a tour of The Amazing History of the Yellow Magic Orchestra.
They have influenced several electronic genres such as synthpop, electro and techno, which is before you even mention their influence on old school hip hop. The incredible trajectory of popularity left in its wake eight studio albums, countless legendary live shows, a film, and several musical genres that hardly existed (if at all) before Yellow Magic Orchestra put their heads together and tried every combination of bleeps and bloops they could until they found that perfect Yellow Magic Orchestra sound. The resulting album led not only to an explosion of local success but international recognition that saw the trio touring the world and developing storied careers as a group and individually. In 1978, Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi got together for what was originally a one-off recording session for a project. Yellow Magic Orchestra are made of a trio of musical geniuses that were established musicians before they ever sat down together in a recording studio.
