This follows after Yukihiro Takahashi passed away in January. Now there is only surviving member of Yellow Magic Orchestra, Haruomi Hosono.
This news has hit me hard. I know it's corny, but it really does feel like when they died, the music died with them. The products of their souls will still be heard and celebrated around the world, and their shadows will be seen in the inspiration they provided to others. There will still never be anything quite like them.
I have some general advice. DO. NOT. trust any claims of posthumous releases. There's been threats of completing artists' unfinished works with AI after they die. I am not listening to a single one of those. I would rather go deaf.
