In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. It all started in 1980, when he dropped the needle on YMO's Solid State Survivor and was struck by Strawberry Fields Forever, which he heard in December of the same year in the wake of John Lennon's assassination. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? The Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour Todd Rundgren, Hermit of Mink Hollow Yellow Magic Orchestra, Solid State Survivor YMO was a wake-up call to sound. I like 'Magical Mystery Tour' because it's full of psychedelic songs. I listened to this album of Todd's to the point of wear and tear, earworming, translating the lyrics and singing along to the record all the time. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “もう、いいかい” This is one of my favourite songs, where the sound by Keiichi Tomita, aka Tomita Labo, and my own music are well combined.
