Jul 19, 2007 - IÂīd really like to know what this is all about! Those old pictures are very moving, the YMO guys seem to be very serious and reflective in their comments - does not look like a joke or fake to me. The scene with the three boys playing harmonica - are these supposed to be the three YMO guys? This is the first time I see anything "private" from any YMO member - if only I could understand Japanese!BTW what is the background music, maybe one of Takahashis soundtrack themes?

Jul 19, 2007 - The reason i thought it might not be true is cuz im pretty sure they didnt know each other when they were younger. Example, the first album members of ymo appeared together was haruomi hosono's "Paraiso" from 78. Yukihiro was with 'sadistic mica band' and hosono with 'happy end' and later with 'tin pan alley'. Why not do something together earlier?? maybe i'm too cynical lol

Jul 19, 2007 - ...As for the music, i have no idea, sorry. This clip was featured on a yuki live dvd. There is some other crazy japanese clips on the dvd too but i thought this clip would be more interesting for you folks to see!

Nov 15, 2007 - HeeHeeHaHa! Those of us over at the YMO eGroups at Yahoo are just getting a look at this video, if we don't already own the DVD. Clue: This is a marvelously done joke, pure Takahashi humor. The kids are amazing, great choices, I would not know that wasn't Ryuichi if I didn't know this was a setup. Don't ever doubt the humor of these guys!!! Now, if someone could please translate into my native language? :-Derek
