pupa "floating pupa"
pupa is the brand new all-star band of Takahashi Yukihiro (YMO/HASYMO, Sketch Show) together with Harada Tomoyo, Takano Hiroshi (HAAS), Takada Ren, Horie Hirohisa (Neil and Iraiza) and Gondō Tomohiko (anonymass). A first album is coming in July.
The band is playing a first show on June 2 in Tokyo, and can also be caught on stage in August at the World Happiness festival co-curated by Takahashi, who has also designed the band's military-inspired uniforms (the first stage outfits he's done since YMO).

Hi! I visit your site very often but i never take some time to drop a comment. Congratulations for the site, i find it very helpful!
I wonder how this album will sound... (probably great :D)
Yesterday I went to a Yellow Magic Orchestra concert in my city (Gijón, Spain) The concert was amazing, and the featured musicians were... Christian Fennesz, Tomohiko Gondo and Ren Takada, these 2 will be part of this new project...
By the way, a new HASYMO single is coming ('The City of Light')

Oh and you're very lucky to have seen YMO! I'm looking forward to see HASYMO and Pupa at the World Happiness festival here in Tokyo this August.

Thanks a lot for the links, the tracks sound really good!
About the concert... yes, i'm pretty lucky, i live in a small city, i would have never thought they would come here, i still cannot believe it really... I tried to have an autograph of them but it was impossible, anyway, the concert itself was the best present i could ever have from them :)
Enjoy the festival this august! (You're lucky twice: YMO+Pupa)
