On a number of occasions Ryuichi Sakamoto has joined in on Sketch Show performances and recording sessions. He later proposed they rename the group Human Audio Sponge when he participates. Barcelona performance at Sonar festival and Wild Sketch Show DVDs chronicle these reunions, and include a tongue-in-cheek Japanese text-only history of the group that spans to 2036. The band have reunited in 2007 for an advertising campaign for <a href="/wiki/Kirin_Brewery_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Kirin Brewery Company">Kirin</a> Lager which lampooned their longevity and charted No.1 on various Japanese digital download charts (including <a href="/wiki/ITunes_Store" title="ITunes Store">iTunes Store</a> chart) with the song "Rydeen 79/07", released on Sakamoto's new label <a href="/wiki/Avex_Trax" title="Avex Trax">commmons</a>.

In August 2007, the band once again reformed, taking the name HASYMO or HAS/YMO, combining the names of Human Audio Sponge and Yellow Magic Orchestra. Their first single under this name, "Rescue", was written for the film <a href="/wiki/Appleseed_EX_Machina" class="mw-redirect" title="Appleseed EX Machina">Appleseed EX Machina</a>. They released a new two song single titled "The City of Light/Tokyo Town Pages" on August 6, 2008. HASYMO played two live concerts in Europe in the summer of 2008, one at the <a href="/wiki/Royal_Festival_Hall" title="Royal Festival Hall">Royal Festival Hall</a>, London on June 15, as part of the <a href="/wiki/Meltdown_(festival)" title="Meltdown (festival)">Meltdown</a> festival of music curated by <a href="/wiki/Massive_Attack" title="Massive Attack">Massive Attack</a> and another in <a href="/wiki/Gij%C3%B3n" title="Gijón">Gijón</a>, Spain, on the 19th. Although the primary YMO members (Yukihiro Takahashi, Haruomi Hosono, and Ryuichi Sakamoto) were effectively known as HASYMO and played both these concerts, these concerts were billed simply as "YMO" but featured only 4 YMO songs in each concert while the rest of the concert featured Sketch Show, HASYMO music and members' solo works. In August 2009, the band played the World Happiness festival in Japan, featuring many Japanese artists. The band closed the night, and confirmed that "Yellow Magic Orchestra" was their official name, dropping the HASYMO title. They opened with a cover of "<a href="/wiki/Hello,_Goodbye" title="Hello, Goodbye">Hello, Goodbye</a>" and performed old YMO songs along with their newer songs.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> In August 2010, YMO once again closed their World Happiness festival.
