Description: Description A must-have for fans, a complete history of YMO. The secret of "2043" is in this book. The first part of this book covers the period from 1978, when YMO was formed, to just after 1983, when they "dispersed", and the second part covers the period from 1992, when they reborn, to the beginning of 2021. The first part consists of testimonies obtained from interviews with many people involved, based on a re-examination of domestic and international materials from the time. How did the unique existence of YMO come into being in Japan from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, why was it widely accepted in the social climate of the time, and how was it able to expand overseas in an unprecedented manner? . At that time, I was a teenager living in a local city, and I can say that this time I was able to take a new look at YMO, which I had gazed upon with admiration from a faraway place. Here, I will try to get rid of the "myths" about YMO that were built and almost perfected in the 1980s and 1990s, and follow the facts and confirm the information with an open mind. I also looked into how YMO was seen and perceived from overseas at the time. From the second part, from the 1990s to the present, I was fortunate to have many opportunities to meet YMO and its members as an interviewer, and was able to witness several overseas performances. By incorporating many of the testimonies and emotions of the people themselves in the manuscript, this second part will be a story of YMO that has been seen with one's own eyes and heard with one's own ears, rather than YMO filtered through the filters of third parties such as the media. It was a blessing in disguise that I was able to assemble the content based on the facts and words that I learned. Although it's not an inside view, I intend to follow the new history of YMO from a close perspective.
