🛳️ Harry "The Crown" Hosono – Bon Voyage Co. (1976 Original Vinyl)
Share
Before Yellow Magic Orchestra made him a global name, Harry Hosono was already charting strange and beautiful musical waters. Bon Voyage Co.—released in 1976—is a laid-back, genre-blurring journey filled with exotic lounge, tropicalia, and whimsical sound design. It’s one of his most beloved solo works, and a foundational piece of Japan’s sonic imagination.

This record exists somewhere between background music and conceptual art. It’s both kitsch and brilliant—an audio postcard from a world that never quite existed.
