| Cochin Moon (Music) | comment |
Cochin Moon is a collaborative album between Japanese artist Haruomi Hosono and graphic designer Tadanori Yokoo (under the name Hosono & Yokoo). It came out through King Records in 1978 and was the third and last album he released during that productive year of his career.The initial setting of the album was a trip between Haruomi and Tadanori in India. Tadanori was suppposed to take part in the album musically but had a severe case of diarrhea during the trip, making it a Hosono solo album illustrated by Yokoo. Conceptually, Cochin Moon is the soundtrack to an imaginary Bollywood film divided in two parts, the first part being experimental, the second one being influenced by indian folkloric music (and also referencing India's colonial history). Compared to Hosono's previous work, the album stands out thanks to its extensive use of synthesizers and elements of World Music which would reappear much later in Hosono's solo career.Future YMO members Ryuichi Sakamoto and Hideki Matsutake took part in the album's recording, as well as Hosono's band Tin Pan Alley.Tracklist: Side A (Hotel Malabar) "Ground Floor···Triangle Circuit on the Sea-Forest" (2:28) "Upper Floor···Moving Triangle" (8:45) "Roof Garden···Revel Attack" (8:58) Side B (untitled) "Hepatitis" (4:43) "Hum Ghar Sajan" (8:50) "Madam Consul General of Madras" (9:04) | |

Ambient | |
| Cochin Moon (Music) / int_1c3b2513 | comment |
Ambient: "Ground Floor" starts with ocean waves, and bird sounds replicated by a synthesizer. In terms of sub-genres, it is reminiscent of Kankyo Ongaku note environmental music, a nature-based ambient response to Japan's growing urbanism in The '80s (the genre itself has been retroactively assigned to this decade, making Cochin Moon a precursor). | |

Location Song | |
| Cochin Moon (Music) / int_705148cf | comment |
Location Song Cochin is the former english name of Kochi, a city of southern India. It is also the name of a kingdom which disappeared after India's independence in 1947. The first half of the album contains songs named in reference to floors of the Hotel Malabar, an indian hotel Hosono stayed in during his trip. The hotel's front can be viewed on the back cover of the album. "Madam Consul General of Madras" refers to the presidency of Madras, a subdivision of British India which disappeared after the country's independence in 1947. | |

Mystical India | |
| Cochin Moon (Music) / int_8e439940 | comment |
Mystical India: The trip which influenced the album was born out of Hosono's interest in Indian culture, which happened during a period where he also grew interest in the Western view of Asia, resulting in this fictional soundtrack to a Bollywood movie. It is also reflected on the album cover which features elements associated with Indian culture such as a lotus flower, decorated elephants, and the Aum symbol. | |
