Haruomi Hosono
"Who do you love?"
" Haruomi "Papa Harry" Hosono,
musician, composer, producer and electronic pioneer, is one of the most renowned and revered artists out of Japan. With early bands such as Apryl Fool and Happy End, Harry paved the way to fateful collaborations with the late Ryuichi Sakamoto and drummer Yukihiro Takahashi, eventually forming Yellow Magic Orchestra with the duo. His numerous solo releases through the decades include synth workouts, J-Funk jams, video-game exotica, ambient and everything else you might find under the rising sun. Like George being in a band with John and Paul, Harry had the privilege of working with and being somewhat overshadowed by the internationally famous Mr. Sakamoto, but his output and talent is no less prolific. Included are a pocket full of favorites, but there is so much more.
