Haruomi Hosono’s Tropical Dandy Returns on Vinyl to Celebrate its 50th Anniversary!

Haruomi Hosono’s legendary 1975 album Tropical Dandy is getting a long-awaited analog reissue to mark its 50th anniversary. Set for release on Wednesday, June 25, 2025—exactly 50 years to the day since its original debut—this reissue is a must-have for fans and collectors alike.

Two years after his solo debut HOSONO HOUSE (1973), Tropical Dandy marked a bold step toward a freer, more exotic, and multicultural sound. Overflowing with tropical flair and eclectic charm, this second solo effort captures the pivotal moment when Japanese pop music began to connect with the global music scene. A crucial work in Hosono’s “Tropical Trilogy,” the album also laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO).

Now, listeners can once again experience the turning point in Hosono’s adventurous musical journey with this rare and meaningful reissue.

Still enchanting audiences worldwide, Haruomi Hosono’s influence endures. Tropical Dandy, which signaled the beginning of his tropical voyage, is now ready to reach a whole new generation.
