Public Pressure (Alfa ALR-6033) is Yellow Magic Orchestra's first Live Album and their first Japanese number one album. It was recorded during three dates of the group's first tour of Europe and the USA. The group toured as a six-piece, but the guitarist Kazumi Watanabe was mixed out and replaced with more keyboards for contractual matters between record labels. Un-dubbed recordings from this tour were later released, for instance on the "Faker Holic" album.
