I found this band back in fall '11 and I actually had a friend of a friend who works for tower records in Tokyo scour all of his resources to find this.

Wikipedia in Japanese has her as alive. My understanding was they were a young teenage band formed by Morioka who of course had the really attention getting skill of playing drums while singing vocals. They made no secret her dad ran an instrument company who's products were sold as Hillwood and Multivox brands and in specific Firstman who officially endorsed them which was sort of an entry level Boss to Hillwood who ironically are sometimes accused of copying Roland gear. They covered tracks like YMO's Cosmic Surfin, which as a single apparently did well and got YMOs attention and were invited to play at one of their biggest shows (televised) where as intermission Cosmic Invention replaced YMO and played their music. I think Morioka kept on with other music projects in the 80s but I guess she gradually faded out. I heard she did a few gigs playing drums for Sakamoto's live bandthe world of next tuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601708890220139978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501326418427514183.post-44415174651470547552011-06-22T08:57:20.184-07:002011-06-22T08:57:20.184-07:00Thanks AF!

I ran across Cosmic Invention by accident on YouTube (right after discovering Cosmos, which you also have up; thanks for that, too, by the way).<br /><br />Speaking of YouTube, a user made an oddball post on this video for Yakimoki:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmn1Mwy6Eac<br /><br />Mima Morioka (at least it seems like he's talking about her) apparently died in a gun battle with police? O_o Highly doubtful, but still thought I'd bring it up as something to go on. I couldn't find anything about her, period, let alone something like that. News like that, even dating back to 1996, would still be easy to find.Ancient Flounderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04710322487867515469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501326418427514183.post-90938752774306373572011-04-15T17:08:52.459-07:002011-04-15T17:08:52.459-07:00that drummer girl was way cutethat drummer girl was way cuteUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680327772108603753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501326418427514183.post-72182392158703900082011-04-15T17:08:16.715-07:002011-04-15T17:08:16.715-07:00space fighting, star wars whats the differencespace fighting, star wars whats the differenceUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680327772108603753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501326418427514183.post-76558098164648213222011-04-15T17:07:26.776-07:002011-04-15T17:07:26.776-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680327772108603753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501326418427514183.post-87094534231265095732011-04-15T07:12:38.771-07:002011-04-15T07:12:38.771-07:00Huge thanks for this!

There is another recording too, not sure of the details, it sounds like Sakamoto's arrangement but not with his synths and with a different singer (maybe Shuko Sakai?). Minna no Uta songs are frequently deleted on YouTube, so it'll hard finding it (don't try uploading it either ;) ), but it is on the "Techno Kayō: Digita Love (Toshiba EMI Hen)/デジタラブ~東芝EMI編" compilation.<br /><br />Cosmic Invention were also the opening act for YMO on the 27th December 1980 in Nippon Budokan; they played Technopolis. There is a video of this doing the rounds, not sure what tape it was on.Zilog Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210956917599553907noreply@blogger.com
