I don't believe there was computer recording technology in 1984, when the band broke up. Is there some evidence they used it?
Large-scale computer recording technology (not bits and pieces like a sampler) started to become available in 1987 or so, IIRC.
You can see a video of their recodring; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEENR7WgnJA&mode=related&search= Unfortunately, it is not translated. I am not sure about the date of this video but guess it was 1978 or 79 or so. They certainly said that they used a "computer", which could be somewhat different from the one of these days. 125.199.11.164 23:17, 21 December 2006 (UTC)GGB02105 from Japan.
"Making abundant use of new synthesizers, samplers, digital and computer recording technology as it became available, their popularity and influence extended beyond Japan. Generally the band are highly regarded as pioneers of electronic music, and continue to be remixed and sampled by modern artists"
Untrue to be honest. YMO were popular in Japan but they were little known outside of their own country. In fact Computer Game was their only UK chart hit. Of course they were well known in electronic music circles but this hardly means they were popular.
Given the fact that a lot of electronic artists never cite YMO as an influence leads me to believe that their repuatation may be slight over exagarated, as much as I love this band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Humanracer ( talk • contribs) 09:04, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I don't think the writer meant to over-exaggerate their "reputation". The writer clearly says their "influence" which I think is an appropriate word for what they've influenced in music these last 25 years. I guess the paragraph could use some re-writing.

I updated the London Meltdown festival concert date that requested a cited website. The link to the official ticket site is for the concert. If someone could properly edit the cited site, I would appreciate it. 69.231.210.85 ( talk) 01:38, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
I've heard these guys play! It's amazing, nothing else like it, they trully have the "x-factor" lol!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.13.183 ( talk) 19:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
It seems somewhat inaccurate to downplay Krafwerks influence on YMO when multiple sources attest to this, we can list them below if necessary. It is also accepted that Kraftwerks innovations preceded YMOs success in the same domain by a number of years. Julian Cope's Japrock Sampler goes so far as to state that: "...the all pervasive robotising of Western music finally kicked in via Kraftwerk's TRANS-EUROPE EXPRESS...massively informing the direction of Ryuichi Sakamoto's hugely influential Yellow Magic Orchestra. It's clear that without Kraftwerk's red lippy and proto-Devo dummy routine, they never could have had the same worldwide cultural impact..." Currently such material is not addressed properly in the article. -- Semitransgenic ( talk) 04:18, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
If somebody wants to extend the article, I think it could mention something about how the audience reacted to abrupt changes in style especially with the albums Technodelic and Naughty Boys. -- 128.214.210.233 ( talk) 08:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
It's very overbearing to the article, and even more on individual members' pages. There should be a proper Yellow Magic Orchestra discography and Yellow Magic Orchestra solo discography page.-- Ilovetopaint ( talk) 08:14, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
