A lot of people seem to be confused as why Harry would be on TFT. It's because his newest album 'Harry's House' is a tribute to the Japanese pop icon Haruomi Hosono, who’s best known for leading electronic pioneers Yellow Magic Orchestra, and shaping the genre of City Pop. 'Harry's House' is named after Haruomi Hosono album from the 70's called 'Hosono House'.
