May 21, 2008 - It beats everything that they brought that huge sequencer onto the stage to make such simple sound while we only have to use today computer-installed soft one. Matsutake's performance is superb!

Jul 14, 2008 - I saw them when they opened for the Tubes at the Greek...can't remember if this was it. Makes you want to dust off the analog toys in the attic. Some music just doesn't lose its appeal!!

Aug 4, 2008 - This is damn good actually.

MowgliX Says:

Aug 4, 2008 - That's Ryuichi Sakamoto on vocals, but the vocoder makes it imposible to hear if he's singing in Japanese or some other language... ;)

Aug 17, 2008 - You are so so off! "we're going and starving"? Just look up the lyrics at google =)

Chrononmusic Says:

Aug 18, 2008 - I may agree that the text they want to sing may not be the text the audience will hear. Therefore I must say that YMO and singing does not belong together. I didn't say I disagreed it sounded like "wer starving"

Mar 10, 2009 - What separated Yellow Magic Orchestra from Kraftwerk and The Human League and those early electronic bands was that they had more complex musical sensibilities rather than just the atmospheric elements.

Aug 31, 2009 - behind the mask is a trip. love the 80's electro sound then into the 70's disco and the vocoder.. ok.. amazing.. Look at all those synth.. what a pain in the ass to set up! UGH!

xleeca Says:

Oct 23, 2009 - great guitar player too.. i wish they turned him up louder.. and given him a little more parts haha.... but i love how the drums are even triggered sounds too.. this is music from a future we haven't reached yet. i was born in the early 80s and this is my birth music haha.. the optimism of technology and the future.. i felt that growing up.. and i hear it in this beautiful music.

Nov 17, 2009 - Outstanding! Brits of a certain age might remember The Old Grey Whistle Test. They showed Cosmic Surfin' from this very video. I was blown away and they've been firm favourites ever since. I introduced my 14 year old daughter to YMO (when she was 12!) and she loves them too. These guys still rock even today. Thanks so much for posting this. =:~)

Nov 17, 2009 - Thanks so much for your great comments. I do remember the old grey whistle test appearance. They did release a dvd of whistle test performances. I did look ages ago to see if ymo were featured but didnt see anything concrete. If anyone can confirm they're on the dvd, it would be worth picking up. All the best :]
