The legends Ryuichi Sakamoto, Haruomi Hosono and Yukihiro Takahashi in 1993, back together as Yellow Magic Orchestra (also known as YMO), photographed by Nan Goldin during the recording of their reunion album Technodon – album which was released a decade after the band's original breakup hence the use of the crossed out version of the ‘YMO’ logo and credit to ‘NOT YMO’. The book contains texts and interviews with the group members, all written in Japanese. We obviously also love Barbara Kruger’s signature style of white-on-red Futura typeface in Bold Oblique, and how that same red is printed on the edges of the book.
