Former Shinjuku Koma Theater site
Sony Music documents YMO’s Winter Live recordings at Shinjuku Koma Theater on 22–24 December 1981. The theater closed in 2008; the current Shinjuku Toho Building occupies the former site.
Current site
The Shinjuku Toho Building now occupies the address; the route labels this as a lost venue rather than presenting the replacement building as YMO history.
