Opening Show: Haruomi Hosono + RYDEEN REBOOT – YMO | MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN 2025
Music Awards Japan unleashed “Rydeen Reboot” — a tribute to Yellow Magic Orchestra, where acts performed flips of YMO’s “Rydeen”. It was really fucking good. But this right here is my favourite section of it, because it was the only part where I felt the “Rydeen” of it all never got completely lost. Also, the whiplash between the different acts is so crazy that it’s great. The abruptness of going from the thugginess of Yuki Chiba to 74 year old enka singer Takashi Hosokawa standing there warbling in his yukata was absolute gold.
