A BENTO BOX FULL OF Y.M.O.

Yellow Magic Orchestra, the pioneers of Japanese electronic music are coming to the Hollywood Bowl on June 26th. To celebrate this historic visit, their first since 1979, I have compiled a mix of my favorite songs and some solo material from members Haruomi “Harry” Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
