野生の野望: YMO-Related Japanese Pop Mix
This is a compilation (with separate tracks, i.e. not “mixed”) that I gave to some friends last Christmas season as crash course to Hosono/Sakamoto/Takahashi’s pop productions. Had a few people request that I up it here…so, here you go!
Miharu Koshi – “Parallelisme” from Parallelisme
Testpattern – “Souvenir Glacé” from Apres Midi
Yukihiro Takahashi – “Curtains” from Neuromantic
Chakra – “You Need Me” from Satekoso
Tamao Koike – “Automne Dans Un Miroir” from Automne Dans Un Miroir
Yellow Magic Orchestra – “Gradated Grey” from Technodelic
Sandii – “Zoot Koot” From Eating Pleasure
Susan – “I Only Come Out At Night” from The Girl Can’t Help It
Haruomi Hosono – “Sports Man” from Philharmony
Miharu Koshi – “Scandal Night” from Tutu
Haruomi Hosono – “Strange Love” from S.F.X.
Hajime Tachibana – “Rock (New Version)” from Yen Memorial Album
Masami Tsuchiya – “Rice Music” from Rice Music
Ryuichi Sakamoto – “Thatness and Thereness” from B-2 Unit
David Sylvian & Ryuichi Sakamoto – “Bamboo Music” from Bamboo Houses
Yellow Magic Orchestra – “Wild Ambitions” from Naughty Boys
Taeko Ohnuki – “Inori” from Alfa/Yen: We Wish You a Merry Christmas
Tsuchiya produced that song and the rest of the album (Sakamoto only plays on “Kafka”). It’s a correction worth noting because Tsuchiya and Ippu-Do were successful without the help of YMO!
ah, you’re right. looking at the liners Sakamoto merely arranged “Kafka”…for some reason i remembered him co-arranging the only album (Hideki Matsutake did the programming however). thanks for the correction.
Tsuchiya related, this book/flexi combo is really cool:

thank you so so much for this. i’ve been checking this blog for interesting things / music / art or whatever for years and this has to be one of the best posts (not that everything else isn’t good too!). i hadn’t heard any of this before but 20 seconds into parallelisme and i was in love.
Would love it if you could re-post this! MediaFire says Permission Denied.
I was directing some friends to this fabulous mix, and discovered the link was broken.
I uploaded it for them, and thought I’d leave the links here also:

Cheers!
Thanks!!!
Nippon robots breakdancing in between my ears.
Awesome. Thanks.
wonderful. thank you
Thank you for this brain bath.
Nice compilation. Thank you. Just getting ready to buy a USB turntable and digitize all my Japanese vinyl. I pulled a couple cartons out of storage and spun a few things tonight. Matsutake’s Logic System “Venus”, Chris Mosdell’s “Equasian,” and Takahashi’s and Suzuki’s Beatniks. Love this stuff.
Tasty. This will help sate my desire for ‘J-ambi-pop’.
I was very late in finding this. An impeccable compilation. (Most of it new-to-me, though I have a ton of YMO-related stuff.) I can’t wait to follow all these new leads. THANKS!
I wish this comp was still on Mediafire! I just tried to find it from memory of the track list, but now no luck!
