A visually rich and conceptually driven publication, 1983 YMO Japan Tour Chaos captures the aesthetic and philosophical universe of Yellow Magic Orchestra at a pivotal moment in their history.
Published in 1983 by Yoroshita Music, the book coincides with the group’s first disbandment, offering a retrospective account of their activity during the preceding five years. Formed by Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, YMO emerged as pioneers of techno and new wave, integrating synthesizers, computers, and digital aesthetics into a groundbreaking musical language.
Rather than functioning as a conventional tour document, the publication operates as a hybrid object—combining illustrations, graphic experimentation, and textual material to construct a broader narrative around the band’s identity and influence. It reflects not only their musical output but also their role in shaping visual and cultural discourse in early 1980s Japan.
The design by Tsuguya Inoue—also known for his work with COMME des GARÇONS—is central to the book’s impact, translating YMO’s futuristic and conceptual ethos into a cohesive visual form.
A key collectible for those interested in experimental music, graphic design, and Japanese pop culture, 1983 YMO Japan Tour Chaos stands as both archival record and artistic statement.

The Story
Intermission exists in the space between documentation and devotion an ongoing archive of cultural fragments that refuse to vanish. Each title within our portfolio is selected not for trend, but for tension: between what was meant to disappear and what insists on remaining.
We work with objects that speak quietly but persistently publications, recordings, and editions that define the undercurrents of art, sound, and design. Together they form a living record of marginal brilliance, a collection that privileges significance over scale.
Every Intermission title is handled as an artifact. We believe that preservation is an act of reverence one that begins the moment you open a cover or unspool a tape.
To experience a piece, do so slowly. Allow the air to touch the paper, let light fall softly over each page. Avoid excess pressure; handle edges rather than surfaces. Each mark, fold, or patina is part of its passage through time evidence of care rather than decay.
We encourage collectors to engage not only with the content, but with the gesture of preservation itself: a quiet commitment to memory.
