2. In 2009, YMO (as HASYMO) created the song "Good Morning, Good Night" for the NTT DoCoMo NEC N-04A commercial. The phone itself has 14 original ringtones by HASYMO. The ringtones aren't on the internet, but the song is: youtube.com/watch?v=GzuwrnkE…

3. With the release of the UC YMO compilation in 2003, official ringtones of tracks were distributed on the Record Kaisha Chokuei♪ site. These were created by Hideki Matsutake, who did a lot of programming work on their actual songs. youtube.com/watch?v=bpNmkCDL…

4. Not quite YMO, but speaking of Matsutake, his music company Music Airport created ringtones for companies like Sony Ericsson, Yamaha, Sanyo, Nokia, etc. It is not clear if he personally composed any himself or if they were all outsourced. youtube.com/watch?v=DP8xoifo…

YMO is one of my favorite electronic bands, so I hope this was insightful! They have influenced lots of musicians especially game composers - and certainly many ringtone/tech product composers as well.

Thanks to makou for taking the time to rip these super rare CDs! Crypton's ringtones have been a big rabbithole, compared to many companies who are more secretive about their creators. Playlist of Crypton ringtone uploads: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… (6/6)

He has just written a blog post reflecting on the tone's popularity and his days making ringtones! This was created in November 2006, *after* leaving Crypton, but continued to do contract work for them. makou.com/ringtone-was-trend…
