Like many a music nerd, I am a big fan of
Haruomi Hosono - a phenomenal solo musician and founding member of
Yellow Magic Orchestra (a band that is credited with helping pioneer multiple
genres and, personally, highly influentially visually as well). Hosono has created so much that it feels like a body of work that will forever be providing new treats as you explore. And he's still alive!
This
Discogs interview is a great bit of reflection from Hosono on his work, being a musician with band members half your age and what it feels like to return to playing live music after the pandemic. If nothing else, read through it and sample the
tracks they mention.
