Who Was Takahashi Yukihiro?
It is no doubt to say that Takahashi tried to get the best treatment possible for the dreaded disease from a well-known hospital.

Electronic music figures have been coming forward and have been paying the Tokyo-born artist heartfelt tributes on social media.
With Ryuichi Sakamoto and Haruomi Hosono, Takahashi co-founded Yellow Magic Orchestra, for which he is well known. The group, which was a global charting hit and contributed to the development of mainstream electronic music in the late 1970s, released albums throughout the 1980s (and one in the 1990s) while collaborating on a variety of solo and side projects.
Takahashi’s primary responsibilities in the group included playing drums and singing lead, notably on well-known songs like the group’s rendition of The Beatles’ “Day Tripper.” The Tokyo-born musician has enjoyed a lengthy and fruitful musical career outside of the group, beginning as a member of the rock group The Sadistic. He released a number of well-received solo albums, including 1981’s Necromantic, which featured other YMO artists and Roxy Music members. Stay tuned with Social Telecast for more updates.
