Here’s a short clip of YMO making a beer commercial in Japan. You can see some quick glimpses of one of them playing a Tribute Phatty.

Nice to see their wall of Moog modular and the ARP Odyssey there, too! YMO has always been one of my favorites, and it’s nice to see them do little reunions every now and then.

I wonder what number he got ?
It looks like he took off Bob Moogs autograph sticker on the front of it also.
Someone posted that earlier (here) but I’m glad you did too! I have the compilation they put out in Japan a couple of years ago - some of those songs were big hits in japan in the late '70s, they really brought synth music to the masses. I really like Ryuichi Sakamoto’s collaboration with David Sylvian too (“True Colors”?) from Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence, though his performance in the film is pretty over the top…
They put out the remasters on cd a few years back. They come with the American and the Japanese versions of the albums.
I picked 2 of them up when Tower Records was clossing.
I wish there was a place to download this new version.
