* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The album does a good job avoiding it for the most part, except for the "Computer Game" duology and "Acrobat", which very heavily reflect the early years of UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfVideoGames, an era that would die out shortly after YMO's first dissolution thanks to a combination of UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 and the runaway worldwide success of the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem. Additionally, of the games parodied in those tracks, only ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'' is widely remembered nowadays, with ''VideoGame/{{Circus}}'' and ''Gun Fight'' generally being remembered only by both devoted YMO fans and hardcore arcade game enthusiasts.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The 1979 US mix by Al Schmitt is generally much better-known than the original 1978 Japanese mix by Haruomi Hosono. Part of this is due to the Schmitt mix being the only version officially available outside of Japan before 2003, but even in Japan it overtook the Hosono mix in popularity and was even functionally adopted by the band as the canonical version of the album, to the extent where the Hosono mix took until 1992 to see a CD release in its home country (CD releases before then exclusively used the Schmitt version). To this day, the Schmitt mix is the one most heavily prioritized in reissues; on double-CD and double-LP releases that contain both versions, Schmitt's version is consistently placed on disc one.

* SpiritualSuccessor: To Music/HaruomiHosono's solo album ''Music/{{Paraiso}}'', which featured Music/RyuichiSakamoto and Music/YukihiroTakahashi as session musicians as part of the one-off "Yellow Magic Band". Like ''Paraiso'', ''Yellow Magic Orchestra'' features a mix of electronica and exotica, though trades out the jazz fusion elements in favor of SynthPop influenced by both ClassicalMusic and {{disco}}.

* SignatureSong: "Firecracker" tends to be the band's best-known track outside of Japan (barring "Behind the Mask", which was CoveredUp by both Music/EricClapton and especially Music/MichaelJackson), being a surprise hit that remains a staple of hip-hop and R&B samples. To this day, most people's familiarity with YMO will typically come from "Firecracker" first and foremost.

* PeripheryDemographic: While the album wasn't a major hit among the mainstream American audiences that A&M marketed it to, it became a much bigger success among urban listeners, with its much higher R&B chart performance marking an immediate black following that would lead to YMO serving as a key influence in the development of both HipHop and {{techno}}.
