Recorded live at the end of their 1983 World Tour, "After Service" captures Yellow Magic Orchestra in their element, performing their hits with a precision that belies the improvisational feel of a live album. The album serves as a potent document of the band's dynamic stage presence and their mastery of electronic performance before their temporary dissolution.
- "After Service" was recorded on December 21, 1983, at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo, marking the final concert of their "1983 Multi-Cultural Concert Tour".
- The album features live renditions of tracks from their previous studio albums, including "Naughty Boys" and "Service".
- Following this tour and album, the members of YMO pursued solo projects, leading to the band's temporary disbandment until their reunion in 1993.
Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO) was a pioneering Japanese electronic music band, formed in 1978, known for their innovative use of synthesizers and their influence on various electronic music genres. By 1984, YMO had already experienced significant commercial success and critical acclaim, and "After Service" was released during a period of evolving sounds for the band.
