"Haruomi Hosono has a new album on the way. The 78-year-old Yellow Magic Orchestra co-founder will release his 23rd studio LP, Yours Sincerely, on September 11 via Ghostly International. In a statement, Hosono said he came up with the title for the follow-up to 2019's Hochono House while trying to find a way to express the Japanese concept omoiyari (思い遣り in English."
""Its original meaning is 'to suffer together,'' Hosono explained in a statement. "In Japanese, omoiyari also includes the feeling of 'rejoicing together.' In that sense, it may even seem like the opposite. The perspective, the emotional angle-subtly but fundamentally different.'""
""I am now 78 years old, but from here on, I feel a growing curiosity toward the unknown music that my new self will create, while also embracing the music of my former self-as if I now carry two musical worlds within me," he added."
"Later this year, Hosono will play two shows with Toro y Moi in support of Yours Sincerely: one on September 16th, at New York's Radio City Music Hall, and another on September 20th, at the Greek Yours Sincerely:01 Note of Mothership02 Sincerely03 Ayurveda04 M for Mandala05 Rojiura06 Happy Holiday07 To a Wild Rose08 Humming "Dream of Love"09 Figlio Perduto10 Anemo Wheel"
Haruomi Hosono, co-founder of Yellow Magic Orchestra, will release his 23rd studio album, Yours Sincerely, on September 11 through Ghostly International. The album title comes from Hosono’s effort to express omoiyari, a Japanese concept meaning to suffer together and also to rejoice together. He describes omoiyari as seemingly opposite in appearance while sharing a subtly different emotional perspective. At 78, he feels curiosity toward unknown music his new self will create while embracing the music of his former self, as if carrying two musical worlds. He will support the album with two Toro y Moi shows, including Radio City Music Hall in New York on September 16 and a second show on September 20 at the Greek.
