Kiyohiko Senba and the Haniwa All Stars - Mizu Every instrument you can think of and then some gets a solo piece in this song. Some somewhat famous people have played in the orchestra; Coba, the accordionist, went on to play on a Bjork album, and Kazumi Watanabe, the second guitarist, played with YMO on their early tours and on the Thousand Knives of Ryuichi Sakamoto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv2tS46rl1k

If we're going to talk more about Hosono-produced early 80s pop, Miharu Koshi should be mentioned. Her early output is New Wave, but with heavy doses of chanson and traditional pop woven into the mix. She still releases albums, but they're more orchestral. Here's one of her early songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vijQLUBWVQU Hosono also produced Testpattern, who have a sort of proto-techno sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQAML1O65Rw Finally, we have Apogee and Perigee: Chojiku Korodasutan Ryokoki. Apparently, this was supposed to be a soundtrack album to a musical that told the story of the titular robots, although the musical was never produced. It features Jun Togawa, Miharu Koshi, Testpattern, Hosono himself, and the most melodramatic hard rock song in the history of humanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbdI39u2tms

I've been listening to Swing Slow, a one-off album by Hosono and Miharu Koshi. It's an interesting combination of country and western, traditional pop, and 90s electronics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06HcFuiHWZ4
